It has just gone 9pm and I am in my new, temporary office, the one which I told you about last time. The one which has become my little personal cove of research, creativty and concentation. I am pleased, our relationship is working well. Having my set up makes me feel a bit more responsible for what it is that I am attempting to do with eHive. I keep catching a glance of my tee-shirt in the window reflection which states quite boldly 'Happy Daze'. It's one of my favorite tee-shirt brands sold at Topshop called 'Tee & Cake', this is not an advertising plug, I simple love their tees...but each time I notice it, it reminds me that in my ever wavering mind of nervousness and self doubt that life is good. Life is OK. Everything will be OK...I CAN DO THIS!!! In the wise words of my pal earlier on today, "Set yourself small tasks"...this I can do for sure!
After a visit from my brother and 2 year old nephew last weekend and my dear friend this week I have had little time to get to business. It has been a beautiful week of woodland walks and beach visits. However, it left me feeling a bit daunted this morning as one of those self imposed rain clouds hovered above my head until at least 5pm this afternoon as I tried to get back into my work! What am I doing? I've lost my trail of perspective! How am I going to reach people?
Sure, at this stage of eHive (which is the mere beginning) most of what I am doing is research and trying to find ground in which to grow on. There is such a VAST amount of information online and the digital marketing/social media community is one which spreads so far and so deep it can be quite overwhelming! However, what a joy to discover on opening my business Twitter account last week that the majority of digital bees are in fact very welcoming and generous when it comes to sharing information and inviting others to get involved with online communities, unless I am being naive! But still, from the generosity of online sharing that I have experienced so far. I couldn't be more reassured that help is at hand when I need it and information is available by the bucket load. I am actually excited to spend the next few days giving every spare moment of my time to research! REASEARCH! I love the empowering, self satisfying feeling of declaring that I am RESEARCHING! It sounds so important! To immerse oneself in RESEARCH is like swimming in a sea of knowledge and self tuition! #LOLZ...and all to discover how best to tell and present online stories which will capture the attention and emotions of the public across the digital world. On behalf of myself narrating my own stories, and on behalf of other businesses who need a bit of support...OOOoooooo I am excited.
A BIG shout out to masterful-marketing.com. Finding your website has been a great source of information to me this week. Very clear and easy to follow. Really a great foundation to getting a strategy template put together and what is important to include. And just as importantly what not to include. The perfect stepping stone for me. Thank you.
And thank you to a friend. A beautiful friend who I love very much. Your parcel arrived today when I needed it most! A card telling me to believe in myself and a piece of wall art which states... "You are the Bee's Knees'. You have no idea what that meant to me. Not only from a confidence point of view, but also because I have never really appreciated my knees as much as I should. Peace and love to you my friend. xxx
