    I have just created the biggest to do list ever ;)

    1) design a questionnaire paper for future prospective clients ( person centred and specialist)
    2) phone one if the bosses I spoke to today and put forward my proposal ( ie.. You know how yesterday you suggested x ... Well this is what I propose what say you? And can I access any of your "base"
    3) phone my tutor regarding chasing up a certificate that is due to me
    4) speak to a person that I was in contact with previously regarding an NLP type training course that we were setting up together
    5) brain storm various possible employment routes
    6) phone local education facility and find out requirements for being a tutor type thing ( this does actually appeal to me tbh)
    7) brain storm possible other types of jobs that I can do
    8) post book that has been sold
    9) check bank accounts
    10) do housework and cook dinner

    It's gonna be a fun day tomorrow :)

    I'm off for a lie down after reading all that :T:T:T. Superb progress, well done :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    loving all your new positive posts today..what a great day you've had
  • Well done missus ... For a moment I thought Mr El had an eyesight problem (I read blind Mr El, rather than you had a blind and Me El was doing this with it!!!)

    And the other wagging finger bit is ... don't sell yourself short! Give discounts as an extra, you have worked hard for those skills, so pitch a price and offer a discount for volume or long-term work!!!

    If you don't value your services (OK, with in reason and market value), why should anyone else???

    Well done anyways, you are sounding ultra positive and full of energy!

    thanks everyone :)

    northern las the discount isnt going to be much honest, but it is also a long term plan and (so far) and extra £30 a week ( after tax etx) for 1 hours work so thats not too bad, i just think giving them that small discount would help spread the word to the rest of the organisation ( potentially ALOT more people may choose to use my services)

    well today the ebay bid has went up to £7.50 so far which is good, the book money arrived into our account so i have divided that between debt and heating money :)

    our house has been valued at £195,000 so all is a go ahead for the extra borrowing just waiting for it to finalise now,

    i have started with my list and contacted a few other companies offering services other than mu current role ( but using my other skills) not had much luck so far as they are looking specifically for management experience and qualifications but i will keep plodding so to speak.

    have also looked at other jobs all together, so far nothing is popping out at me that would be suitable, but i will keep plodding with that also.

    plans for this afternoon, post book, organise form for questionaire, phone the people i need to regarding NLP, certificates accessing their client base etc

    so i am sticking with it and keeping on going :)

    Maybe we're all losing the ability to read!
    I read that as 'superb grass'. Thought it was another money making scheme!
