Category: Writing & Business

My blog is my business so it seems only right to have a category to cover this. I began my journey of writing by writing my book which led to my blog and I love to share tips and experiences I have learnt along the way. I think it is important to share these because we were all at the beginning once, with no clue, no idea how to do certain tasks and being able to rely on others’ expertise can be invaluable. I have learnt so much since my blog became my business, there are so many things I wish I’d known three years ago but if it means I can now help others I’m glad I can jot these things down to help. I cover topics on writing, blogging, self-publishing and working from home.

Working from home can often seem like the dream, can’t it? Roll out of bed and start work in your pyjamas, no commute, your home comforts at your fingertips and flexible working hours.

Testing The Waters Of A Different Occupation

You want to change your career but you’re not really sure if you should place your eggs in one basket just yet, so what do you do? Fear not, you’re certainly not alone in this kind of thinking as many people already have complicated lives. You might have a young growing family, you also live in a certain part of the country and you can’t move due to mortgage obligations. Whatever your situation is, it’s prudent to make sure any new career you are interested in does hold true to what you actually want to do. Many times we think we would like to go into a certain career because of what we have seen in the media or what we have heard from a friend. Until you’re actually aware of what it would be like such as the daily duties and the responsibilities you would have, you don’t really know. There’s nothing solid to run off by so you’re left guessing all the time. So it’s wise to maybe try the career path a little before you jump knee deep into it.

There are a range of reasons as to why you might throw an internal business event. Perhaps you’re running your first award show to try and congratulate the excellent workers in your business. Perhaps you wish to have a great party to help everyone wind down at the end of the year. Maybe you wish to celebrate a business milestone, or maybe you wish to present your business at a trade show. Running an event or business presentation in style can be well worth it because it helps you pop out. More and more businesses are clamouring to show they have some form of corporate personality, be that through insightful or funny comments on Twitter, carefully ‘approachable’ marketing copy or a range of other carefully calculated considerations.
