Past Midnight Thoughts
It's past midnight here, and I should be sleeping. The truth is I'm way too excited to sleep. I know I'll pay for it in the morning, but such is a life in transition. I'm counting down the days till I'm done with my day job.
It's kind of bittersweet though, saying goodbye to clients in that capacity-not fully knowing if they'll follow me into my own marketing practice, but I'm sure hoping they will. In order to do that, though, there's work I need to be doing now. There's much preparation involved in this whole entrepreneurial thing. I want to be ready to go full steam ahead when I hit full time business status on June 2nd. So many strategies to implement and get into place between now and then.
I'm starting with seminars because they are a great icebreaker...and there's plenty of marketing, networking and publicity mileage that you can get out of a seminar. Some people are terrified of public speaking, but I find it exhilarating. It's a powerful feeling to share knowledge you know will make a difference if it's applied. While I can never guarantee that it will be applied, I do love the rush of hearing that a marketing or publicity idea that I suggested brought results.
As for the seminars...
I'm starting with a very familiar topic and an easy on the pocket book priced seminar for moms in the area thinking about working from home. It's a dessert seminar and I just know it's going to be great fun (as well as educational...but really...what's the point of wasting an evening on anything if it's not at least a little bit fun? Right?)
Then I'm moving up into online techniques for local business. I believe strongly that the next wave of internet changes is going to involve building networks within existing communities...online and offline. I'm looking forward to serving Northern Alberta in getting online with effective techniques.
From there, I'm doing my first offline joint venture with Arrow Business Training of La Crete Alberta. I've dubbed it the Northern Alberta Super Sales Seminar and I'm really looking forward to it.
All of the above, plus the full time job and three children to care for are why I haven't kept up with this blog over the past little while. (Okay, long while! Don't tell me there was anyone out there waiting for me to post--my stats tell a different story!)
In any case, I was up and excited...so might as well blog some thoughts - even if it is past midnight.
Oh! That reminds me - since it's past midnight...
It's time to celebrate the launch of The Passion Project Blog - it's a great group project that I'll be contributing to in the months ahead.
Well, I just yawned...so maybe I can try to get some sleep tonight.
