Time To Reflect

So this is what normal life is like is it? I say normal, because this is the first time in months that I've cleared my diary, got through piles of paperwork and given myself some time to just sit back and reflect.

The problem is that I seem to do it over endless cappucinos and cake - it's just got to be done sometimes!

It has been such an eventful time setting up the network and finishing off many projects that I've been working on. But I have to say, the last few months have been tremendous and talk about personal growth .... I wonder where all the information goes... I mean how much can the mind cram in!

I've embarked on lots of networking myself in the last few weeks and I'm absolutely loving it (hence all the coffees and cakes!). It's such a good thing to catch up with old friends and associates and see who's doing what and who can help who.

It makes me realise how much networking I did when I set my first business up in 1984 - because many of my contacts were doing just the same thing and I keep bumping into people that I've know for 20+ years. Scarey isn't it! And it's just so amazing that we don't look a bit different!

So, I'm about to start planning the next Women's Alternative Business Network Meeting on 13 May. It's going to be a really full day with lots and lots to learn and apply. I'd really recommend you attend the morning session as well as the afternoon session. You will get so much out of it - we are going to cover alot of ground and you will want to go away and reflect just the same as I am doing, on what's really important to you, where you are going and what you are going to be putting in place to get there.

The day will explain who and what has been influencing where you are today and how you can change many of the values and beliefs that are no longer serving you.

There will be areas covered on business values, leadership and communication too.

So, have a great weekend. Live and enjoy life and I'll buy you a cappucino if we bump into each other, like the other 10 or so members that I've seen already this week!

Best wishes
Ann
