Welcome to the blogger of an absolute beginner...

Well, as a woman of a certain age setting up a business I have heard so much about the power of Social Marketing. I have even been to a seminar this week which made sense, well all except the acronyms. So I am going to give it a go.

I am a great people person and a great coach and if this is the way to tell you all about that...then I am up for moving out of my comfort zone just like a good coach should be. (The words great and technology will never appear in the same sentence for me though.)

We are of course assuming that I ever find this blog again.

A few little frogs

OK, so the two big ugly, warty toads are still looking at me but my excuse is that it is Saturday and I need to face them on a week day when I have access to people, but today I did in fact eat a few small frogs and it feels good. For those of you who are wondering what on earth I am talking about, it is putting off what you can do today for a good week or two.

It should be no surprise to anyone now that one of the frogs was to do with technology. I had to wait 20 mins on the phone to speak to a salesman from Vodaphone as I can forgotten my pin number for the Internet AGAIN, but when I got through to 'Ronnie, how can I help you?' I found myself being polite and understanding that they only have so many staff on on a Saturday afternoon when everyone is sat at home and decides to upgrade their phone simultaneously. How positive is that?! And I must say that Ronnie was polite and helpful and almost fell off his seat as I agreed to a new phone and tariff so easily. One frog down.

Next week I am going to face my warty toads...the strategy for my future. I have never been a strategist at heart though I can do it and I need to know where WalkerWellbeing is going so Marketing and Business Plans here I come. Thankfully I have a coaching session on Thursday with a fab coach from London who will help me with a plan. And, no you can't have her details!!!

Pleasant dreams indeed. x
