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 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.

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.
