Well here we go!!

I thought it was about time I started a blog - well what to talk about - here goes! It’s taken many years to get here, after years of working for large organisations I always wanted to do something for me but I didn’t think I was ever brave enough to jump off the corporate ladder and give it a try.

And so one fine day I decided the time had come - but what should I do I thought long and hard about what that might be, then out of the blue I was reading an article and the rest is history as they say and so my Women's Online Magazine http://www.womenseverything.com/ was born.

I think its so important to follow your beliefs you only have one life and should make the most of it. It's not been easy having a vision then trying to create that vision - but you have to keep focused. It’s been a journey that I could never have predicted and for all the lows there have been some amazing highs and that's why I know I am now living my dream, creating my own destiny.

Starting your own business is never easy - its being able to adapt and make decisions all day long. At first that's really hard but as time goes on suddenly you are doing it without even realising. You rely so much on your gut instincts and I think 99% of the time it proves to be right. I’ve had so many knock backs I’ve lost count but funnily the more you have the greater your resilience becomes.

So what does my typical day look like well most of the time I’m sat behind a desk researching new ideas, scouring the internet, making new contacts. But more to follow on that.....
