Doing the adulting...
And hopefully giving you the power to BEGIN it now:
Right... here I am. Just got my feet up after an über-day and an über-plate of chips. I shit you not. Take a look!!!
Today was BUSY with meets of the virtual and the real kind. First up was a meeting with 'my accountant'. Now, normally when I have met accountants they have just been 'accountants', but this is 'MY' accountant. I'm beginning to feel ever so grown up... kind of like I'm playing in an adult's realm. Anyway... we talked about grown up stuff and I'm hugely grateful for the recommendation from Jo.
And then I had my marketing meeting at noon with Charlotte. The legendary Charlotte Lee ????. Yet again we put in place plans that would help more people get their books into the hands of even more new readers. This is the absolute cherry on top of whatever I do... the bit that gets other people smiling. The events, like the FYA - Ancient Trails Challenge 2020, the publication of books in Stour Valley Publishing and ShookBop and the joy of seeing little ones brandishing my British Wildlife Tales books with smiles on their faces. It just doesn't get better than that... and then...
Kelly Mepham and I had an awesome chat for a joint podcast which ventured through the values of the positive mindset, and the power of beginning stuff! We didn't half explore the raft of feelings that might be stopping you from doing stuff, and touched on some of the methods for breaking through those barriers you might have put in front of yourself. We have a loose plan to dig deeper into the many different areas we scraped the surface of in a series of future podcasts, too. Brace yourself... if you want to achieve amazing things, we may just have the spark to get you going for it!
Yesterday Simon and I had another cracking meeting for FYA and the foundations of at least two new challenges have been started. Not only this but we are putting together our own signup system so we are not at the mercy of the providers who are restricted by certain financial obligations from letting us manage your entry fees in-house. I am SO excited about the future of Find Your Adventure... plus... we are beginning to get our own merchandise made up so you can enjoy a brew or two whilst reflecting on your awesome FYA adventures.
As if that wasn't enough to get the juices flowing, I got to erect a flat pack shelf when we finally got home today. Linda is filling with smelly flamey things as I write this!
So yet again I find myself in the position where I can urge you to go for that thing you always dreamed of doing... and to begin it now. Because it is about as exciting as it gets when you finally make the decision to go for it.
Begin. It. Now! ???
I really hope you had a fabulous day and I'll check back in with you tomorrow.
Big Love. X x x x
(four kisses today because I'm feeling SUPER good - if a little full of chips).
