Finding your flow

So there I was last night, torch under the bed clothes reading Rachel Elnaugh's (ex Red Letter Days and Dragon's Den) latest book, Business Nightmare's - a fantastic read. She spoke at the KC Jones Women's Conference at Pride Park yesterday, a very inspiring event with other speakers Kavita Oberoi (secret millionnaire), Maggie Philbin (ex Saturday morning swap shop and Tomorrow's world presenter) and Karen Darke, explorer and motivational speaker.

Don't you just love being around positive, uplifting people? It gives me such a buzz and takes away the 'small thinking' that is so easy to slip into in the office in front of the computer! I certainly know that I'm in my flow when I hear inspirational messages and motivational talk. We really do need more successful women standing up there on stage. I told Rachel that one of my intentions was to inspire 10,000 people .... she said "why just 10,000, add some more 000s" so I did. And why not?

And just as I was thinking of changing my network branding I was almost accosted by a group of women who said leave it just as it is, it works, we love it and we'll be at your next event. OK, so I've got some more thinking to do. Thanks to Louise Third of Integra Communications for some friendly advice and the offer of a coffee and a chat about moving forward with expanding the network. This is what networking is about isn't it? Great friendships, great contacts, great advice and lots of support.

I'm off to buy some more batteries, I've got another 5 chapters to go yet!
Have a great weekend, Ann
