It’s been quiet here lately. Not in a dust-filled desert, 'oh look, there’s a tumbleweed' kind of way.
Oh no, it’s been quiet in the best way: I’ve been working on something like a reclusive father who has been spending twelve hours a day in the shed at the bottom of the garden. I can imagine a family gathered at the kitchen window, peering across the lawn, with the mother saying “What on earth is going on in there?”
So what have I been tinkering on in my little virtual shed? Well, all kinds of things really, but one of the most important things has been the realisation that when you run your own business, doing the bits that aren’t aligned to your core skills is really, really hard.
But it also means that when you do things that are in line with your core skills, it totally rocks your world.
And that’s what I’ve been tinkering on: aligning what I do in Your Nisaba with all of my core skills, not just the writing and social media bits.
What this means for you is that I’m going to be introducing some new things here over the next month or three, and I’m so excited about it all that my toes are literally curling under my desk.
But that’s not all. Now I have returned to life after the dreadful flu that destroyed November and most of December, I’m returning to the delightful Bristol social media networking event called Brrism. It’s been revamped, supercharged and is, in my humble opinion, looking fantastic. The details of the next meeting are here and you can order your free ticket there too. As I write this there are only five left, so don’t hang about!
There are also very exciting plans afoot regarding my short story writing and the February Brrism meeting, but that’s all I’m saying for now.
Right, back to my tinkering now. Leave the tea at the door dear, I’ll be out again soon.
