    Lol Told you Alex was good didn't I? I got to put a box order in too, at the moment I'm just juggling boxes around until I find time to sort out the jewellery and see what boxes I need. Is your website up and running?

    Hopefully the postman will bring some much needed earwires today so I can finish the earrings.

    Alex is good and I prefer her boxes so you can guess where I will be ordering from next the others have taken 2 and half weeks to get here were supposed to be dispatched next business day :mad:

    The website is not up and running as I have finally abandoned any hope of involving my daughter at the moment so have gone elsewhere so I am afraid it will have to be ebay at the moment it will be interesting to see if they sell on there but I am not worried if they don't it is all a learning experience.

    Yes I hope the wires come too!

    Have a good day don't forget your hat:rotfl:
    and naughty for going out with wet hair didn't your mother never tell you not to do that :rotfl::rotfl:

  • Is anyone listening to Woman's hour? They're talking about making changes mid-life - and one thing that jumped out at me was when someone said 'the most important thing about having a positive attitude to change is being surrounded by supportive people' - wonder if anyone there is reading this?

    OK - just finished my coaching call (withthe very sexy french chappie) - and for all sorts of reasons I am in a bit of a tizz.

    Today I am backto work for real - and he has put me through the wringer and I now feel well and truly chastised.

    Q Can you email me your to-do list

    A Don't have one written yet:(

    Q can you start creating your to-do lists before bed so that you get up and straight into work?

    A Yes! thats a great idea

    Q Have you got your book of numbers?

    A ????????????????

    Q Is there a file wth actual paperwork in it documenting how many people are booked on each training date?

    A No - got a spreadsheet

    Q Can you get everything into a file today and into your "office in a bag" - it needs to physically be with you when you are out of the office and you can't get to your laptop.

    A Yes - I can do that

    Q What is todays biggest problem?

    A I don't know what to do - I don't know where to start!!

    Q So you have followed up every offer of help and every connection the Matrix has offered you - so your training dates are now full? Yes?

    A Erm (blush!!!!!!!) No, but thats a good place to start

    Q Its the only place to start. Everything you ALL NEED to get where you are going in ALREADY IN THE MATRIX. You don't need to be looking elsewhere for marketing ideas - use your collective strengths - understand??

    A OK

    Q So you are going to create these files, post your book orders and create a Marketing folder to capture all offers of help and connections?

    A Yes - right now

    Q And then you are going to follow up on every connection and every referral in the next week?

    A Yes

    Q So have you now got a To-do list

    A Yes (laughing)

    Q I wll phone you at ten tonight to check that you have all the information together in one place - do you know why?

    A No

    Q Because until you have the habit if keeping everything together you cannot ever hand the admin of your business over to someone else to do. There someone in the matrix that would love your business - Yes?

    A Yes

    Q And is there someone in the Matrx who is a superseller - someone who could sell you into businesses and can make themselves succesfull too?

    A I don't know

    Q I do - you need to go back through all the posts and pull out and collate all your data - agreed?

    A Yes

    Q Talk to you at ten - click!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Whew!!!! but actually he has a point - well several really. I have been so focussed on the "wedding day" of getting off benefits that I hadn't really concentrated on the "marriage" of the day-to-day running of the business.

    So I'm off to rumage and to find some file dividers to get organised - then it looks lke I will have a marathon reading session ahead of me later.

    TTFN

    A busy and Happy

    Thats great MG - sorry you're feeling a little chastised, but thats really planning for the future - yep, one fine day pretty soon you'll be employing somebody to do your admin, and unless you have a solid system worked out, they won't be able to do anything - and you'd then need to get a managerial/consultant somebody in to sort it out. Much better to get the long term system up and running now, while there's comparatively little data in it.

    I like that French guy :D

    DT - sorry your DD doesn't want to be involved - if that means its just ebay for now, tho, you can certainly still have a shop on there.

    Hi, got the books thanks, did my first mind map last night!

    I'm very jealous of the coaching. It must be wonderful to have someone breathing down your neck like that, keeping you on your toes, lol.

    I work in sales, b2b, and have contacts right across the south west in your target market. I'm very close to setting up on my own so please bear me in mind if I can be of any help in the future.

    I have some of those Morrisons garden voucher thingies for DS, I'll post them once I have a few more. Also waiting on football kits.

    A woman from Cheshire has shocked friends and relations by sending out a brutally honest round-robin with her Christmas Cards, recounting the dismal and deeply unimpressive year endured by her family.

    Usually Lucinda Poole’s annual newsletter contains impressive news of exotic family holidays, job promotions and details of how well her children are doing at school and Poole admits that like a lot of parents she usually uses to the opportunity to have a good show-off about her family’s incredibly successful lives.

    ‘But frankly there was no hiding that this year has been a complete stinker’ she admitted. ‘And I thought I might as well come clean.’ The newsletter begins ‘2008 has not been a fantastic year for the Poole family. Emily failed her cello exam after breaking the instrument by sitting on it. Frankly the best noise she ever got out of that bloody thing was when she crushed it with her fat !!!!. Rufus didn’t get chosen for any of the house sports teams although is developing other hobbies and now has a great enthusiasm for internet pornography and masturbation.’

    The round robin goes on to recount how their annual holiday to the Maldives was a disaster when the whole family caught a vomiting bug and spent a couple of days in hospital trying to stay awake to stop the doctors injecting them with dirty needles. ‘On our return we discovered that Henry had been overlooked for promotion at work when the job was given to someone who is nearly half his age who doesn’t have halitosis and a drinking problem.’

    ‘It was enough to knock him off the wagon’ recalls Lucinda, ‘but at least my rule about no drinking spirits in the house before breakfast got him out and about and talking to some very interesting new friends on the benches opposite the Off License.’

    The Poole Family Newslettter then goes on to describe how Lucinda had been more than happy to feed her neighbours’ goldfish while they were away, and had very much enjoyed going through all their things, reading their private correspondence and emails. ‘But imagine my surprise when I discovered that my husband was having an affair with the woman next door! They had even filmed themselves having sex, which I have now posted on the internet. I notice has particularly low scores on the ‘oldies/plump’ section of various amateur !!!!!! websites.’ The Times
