Hey everyone,

I’ve just completely revamped my blog, and so it’s looking completely new! Well, it’s still purple of course, as if that would change…but look at it! It looks a lot more professional now in my opinion.

I’ll still be sharing everything that I’m learning as I create and grow my online business – what’s working for me, what isn’t, and any shortcuts or tips that I may pick up along the way!

Today was Sally’s first tutorial webinar as part of her Learn With Sally coaching.  I couldn’t make the introductory webinar the week before, so I was adamant that nothing would stop me attending this one (not even plagues, pestilence, or floods).

Anyone else have that Friday feeling?  Well, seeing as it’s Tuesday, I guess that’s not very likely…but I have The Pointer Sisters in my head singing I’m So Excited (also used for advertising Crunchie bars on television several years ago).

What does this have to do with anything?  I do have a point to make, don’t worry.

You might be pleased to know first that this is a quick blog post (I can hear a sigh of relief all round!).  My laptop is dying a slow death and I can’t get on the internet at home at the moment – why is it that when you try to make things easier for yourself, you end up with more problems?!

No, not the Euromillions (as I type, there’s someone in the UK with the winning ticket of something like £166million), or the Lotto, or anything boring like that…

…I’ve won something FAR more exciting!

Wait for it…

…drum roll….

…yes, I’m going to keep you in suspense that little bit longer…

….*drinks tea*…..

…..*makes a list*…..

Oh, all right then….

I’ve won a free place on Sally Neill’s coaching prog!   

…and the 10 days that I’ve just spent there weren’t enough to fully do it justice either, but we made the most of our time there and saw a lot of the main sites and attractions.

For those of you that are connected with me on Facebook, you’ll have seen daily updates from me while we were out there.  For those of you that weren’t, or just can’t get enough of me talking about my holiday, then here’s the breakdown of what went on.

Hey,

I’m busy creating the world’s longest blog post on my holiday to Rome (look, I know you’re interested really!).  But in the meantime, I thought I’d share this email that I got yesterday as it may affect you.

………………………………..

Email start:

To Whom It May Concern,

We are writing concerning your registration and use of the domain name facebookfanpagefundamentals.com, which contains the famous Facebook trademark.

Now, just because my title is in that order, it doesn’t mean that this post will be in the same order…because that would be logical, and sensible, and all manner of things that I am not.

Firstly, I shall start with my tea obsession.  It will come as no surprise to you that I am currently drinking tea while writing this post.  I have bought a travel kettle to take to Rome* with me and I shall be taking teabags with me.  I learned the hard way from my Vegas experience (no kettles in the hotel rooms, so the vast majority of my spending money went on buying cups of tea).  So I’m not making that mistake again!

Hey everyone!

You may have been wondering where I’ve been for the past couple of weeks (though that being said, given my somewhat sporadic appearance here that’s totally understandable).

Well, I decided I needed to do something to get my focus back into internet marketing and my online adventure, so I decided to invest in John Thornhill’s One Month Mentor programme.  It’s shut now but I imagine after the success of this one, he’ll open it up again soon.

It’s a question I posed on Facebook, and my boyfriend helpfully added “ask your boyfriend / girlfriend what your skills are”.

Before you get concerned (or go looking for the list!), we didn’t discuss any specifics on that post.

However, it had me thinking.

How do you know what you’re good at? How do you identify value? How do you know whether you have skills in anything, and whether they are good enough to be able to use them to benefit others and yourself?

Ok, so I know I promised you a more normal post this time (well, whatever ‘normal’ is where I’m concerned), but instead this is a bit of a personal one.

I’m currently sitting in bed sweating out some sort of virus – it started as a cold and then progressed to being hot & feverish, which has meant that my bed has turned into a swamp.  Beyond disgusting, I know, but I need you to feel my pain.  Well, actually I don’t, but I’m so fed up with being ill that I’m now starting to make a performance about it (and am annoying myself in the process).
