Blondes in Business

What a week!

Well we are well and truly back into it this week – no rest for the wicked! We only have ourselves to blame…

Audra and I have been like passing ships in the night, grabbing snippets of time to catch up, discuss and agree what, how and when, madness!

Between us we've managed to cope with:

• Accounts! Don't you just love January!
• Presentation skills Delivery
• Speeches
• Course development
• Book promotion
• Sue's grandson taken into hospital with suspected meningitis
• Last minute proposals
• Last minute bookings to Dubai
• Trip to the Vets – not good news L
• Client Meetings
• Partner Meetings
• Don't even go there with emails and phone calls!!!

And to end it all, Sue is sat in her office on a Friday night, because her son Sam has about 10 mates over! So in hiding, only going out for the occasional refilling of the glass! Not sure what Audra is up to but she's not answering the phone – its Me Audra not Him! On that note, we won't go there on what we have had to cope with personally this week – but let's say it has been emotional, painful and exciting!

Sat here listening to the fun happening in the front room and kitchen, I can now understand why my son of 17 doesn't want Nanny and Granddad to stay when I go to Dubai!

I love being a Blonde in Business! Oh forgot to add cooking, cleaning and decorating to the list of accomplishments!

It's been therapeutic to write this blog, we have done loads! And its now only just dawned on me just how much – if you want to send us your accomplishments for this week, or just do it for yourself – you'll be pleasantly surprised no doubt! If not – get off you're a** and get on with it!

Have a fab weekend!

Keeping our promise

of a more regular blog! Pat on the back please.....

Its that time of year for new beginnings and promises, we have started well here at Your Impact- the blonde's having been working hard to start off as we mean to go on and everyone else seems up for fresh starts and kicking 2010 into touch - so all good!

Our channel partners are all raring to go and chasing opportunities and getting ready for the year ahead.

Audra and I have been working on the content for the Retail Trust rework programme and are really excited about it - check it out -and if you know of anyone who is in retail, they can attend for free so spread the word - send them the link or get them to call  the Retail Trust Helpline 0808 801 0808 to book their place.

On the personal side, things have be - shall we say - interesting! My daughter and the baby and boyfriend moved into their flat on Tuesday, fortunately we made it in time before the snow really settled! Its a fab flat and they have already got it looking really nice - so a new start for them and also for Sam and I - we are now the only two in the house - so very quiet and tidy and peaceful and we're loving it!

So we've changed the front room around, we start decorating next week so I can move back into my home office now its no longer a baby's room and Sam gets a mini bachelor pad - so all new and exciting starts for 2010.

Poor Audra has not had such a fab start - she has been very poorly and actually lost her voice - so its been quiet on that front too! She's feeling much better so I can tease a little!

I'm off to London tomorrow for work and play - so will update you on my return!

Hope you are all getting into your new habits - will they last till March? Hope so!

 

back to it........

Hard to get back into it when the rest of the UK seems to still be off! However it has meant three brilliant things as far as I am concerned: 1) I love the snow - it makes my awful garden look really pretty and the dogs dont get covered in mud each walk! 2) I have time to get organsied - clean desk and office and goals all written and started and 3) I have been able to ease myself into being sober during the day and cut back on the remaining Christmas cheeses!

If you want some help in setting your goals this year we have just uploaded a simple system that might just get you going: Your PPP simple enough for Blondes!

We are really excited this year - lots and lots going on - new partnerships, new opportunites and lots of new work and exciting projects with old - sorry - established customers - our fav's!

One of our goals this year is to update this blog more often! We have been truely remiss and many, many apologies - we will try harder! We think short little updates will be more achieveable them mammoth monologues - so that's the plan!

Tomorrow is a momentous day - my youngest daughter is moving out for the very first time into her own flat! So I am van driver tomorrow and chief tea and coffee maker - wish us luck and that the weather doesn't do what the MET office tells us it is meant to do - but then I am not too worried as the MET office predictions have been a little 'off' - a mild winter my ****!

Audra is off poorly today - she spent the weekend rowing and on the beach - yes you read right - rowing and on the beach - so now is full of cold :( Positive vibes please for a fast and full recovery by Wednesday - she's got work to do!

So signing off now - I am going to make this my official last wish of a Happy New Year to you!

Rock on 2010 - we have things to do!
