"Working as an Enterprise Coach, I always tell my clients “Be
prepared to be Salesperson, Accountant, Head of Dispatch, Office Administrator
and Tea Maker all rolled into one”.

Well today, running my own e-commerce business, I have been to the
Post Office three times (not bad planning, just last minute orders with clients
wanting next day delivery); downloaded logos from being a Finalist at Gift of
the Year with my Garden Tin, so I can upload onto the website; ordered some beautiful
new diffusers to expand my range of Scent Tins; starting building a database of
garden centres; uploaded some new pics to the site, spoke to the web guys about
developing the ‘coupon area’ on the site for a fab new offer site being
launched in March (very excited); packed and delivered a wholesale order;
ordered some catalogues for pet toys and food (the newest Gift Tins) oh..and
also made a couple of cups of hot water and a milkshake - liquid diet (not the
relaxing variety you understand, but the healthy - and very boring - variety)
so I can get into a nice dress for our daughter’s wedding in November! 
That seems like a very long paragraph and it is just a paraphrase of
what’s happened today! I forgot to mention that I’ve also been in discussions about
going on the One Show too....(get me...autographs will be available).
And I also booked the Hen Night venue, picked up some cardboard
letters to decorate and just started getting some wedding favours ready to go
out for a bride next week.
And finally, walked the dogs three times and chase an unruly
cockerel around the paddock as he was refusing to go back in the hut for the
night. It’s all good exercise...
So have I been busy? Mmmm, feels like it. Have I been juggling all
those balls in the air?Certainly. Have I had fun? YES. I love being able to
plan my day, although it seems to have organically evolved today as I look at
the list which only has four items ticked off today and still seven items for
starter’s orders tomorrow morning! Being self employed takes some grit and
determination, and the will to pick yourself up if things don’t go right, and
also pat yourself on the back when they do.
So tomorrow is planned with the remaining seven items to start on,
although, I’ve just remembered I am meeting a lovely new candle supplier
tomorrow at 9am....so I guess tomorrow possibly won’t pan out the way I planned
either - mange tout (as Del Boy might say...)"
Thank you so much for your words Anne!
Speak to you soon my friends
