Very Busy, But Little Was Business
Introduction
Good Evening to all you lovely people at the Great WA Family, as always do so hope that you are all keeping both well and safe.
Back to Saturday Evenings this week, I can see myself being rather busy tomorrow as you will discover later.
First of all many thanks to all of you who commented on my blog last week, giving me tons of very useful and sensible advice on Social Media, with your experiences. Have taken it very seriously as so much of it made commonsense.
The Last Few Days
Have been kept very busy, to put it mildly with work that I have needed to do for the Royal British Legion, you may recall that I had been lumbered with re-writing the script for our Anniversary Concert.
Put together nearly one thousand words for the compere to use as he sees fit, it is now over to him.
Also on The Legion front have had to put together an order of service and parade detail for the laying up of the old standard and the dedication of the new one. This will take place on Remembrance Sunday prior to the Service of Remembrance, to this end requested from the Vicar an order of service.
Eventually she sent me one back, we are allowed two sides of A4 to print it all on, duly received five pages. That in itself is not a problem as it can be reduced to just headings, such as prayers, readings and so forth.
The problem is that is laid out in the wrong order, so more work, this I will do tomorrow. Did also have the rough draft from the Council of a printed order of service, this only requires a minor tweak or two. This is the reason that I am writing this tonight as I can see myself having to spend most of my spare time tomorrow re-jigging what I have been sent, the important part being getting the timings right for eleven o'clock.
Have done a little work, mainly reading and training on some of my weaker areas of the business.
It dawned on me the other day, following a comment from last week, that I was ignoring doing content on any of my sites. Had a look at my brand site, did a little poking about, discovered to my amazement that I have a registered and totally unused Twitter site. This I feel could be my first social media site, so will need to do some research on it.
Feel that having had a long hard look at things, need to go back to the brand site, or basics and get things sorted out, was, I feel getting a little bogged down with overthinking things.
It really is baby steps, which I have managed to forget for a few days, trying to do so much that if I am honest it was too much and never going to happen, or work!
Quote of the Week
Appreciate that I have used this one before, but hope that it will inspire me to get going once again.
The Next Few Days
Think that I need to read and learn about Twitter and how I can use it on my brand site. Should explain that do have a separate email account from my main one, it was in here that I found the Twitter Account. In fact I remember correctly I googled the website and found it there.
Will also visit the brand site with a view to adding more content, doing things this way was not my intention but it does seem to make sense the more I look at it. If on closer inspection I feel that it is not quite right, then at least I will find out before it is too late.
Made a list sometime ago for the next subjects to use on my main site, think that it could be a good idea to see what lead magnets, offers and other bits I could use to get these topics moving. I had thought of getting the shop up and running first, but this might be a better idea.
Whatever I decide I feel that though time constraints will play a part, I do have a direction to go in.
Conclusion
Writing these last few paragraphs has been a great help, am I beginning to see the wood from the trees, I sincerely hope so, I seem to be able to just move away from my main objective without any trouble, forgetting that will not get the business up and running at all.
When I write this blog ideas just come flooding to me, wonder if I would be better sometimes doing a form of journal in which I recorded my thoughts on where I was going that day in the business, or the next day, if written in the evening.
Have these bright ideas and just forget, or cannot be bothered to action them.
Be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy
Please do stay safe
God Bless
Stuart

It does help to set things out Stuart, it gives clarity.
Why not get a voice to text app and talk your thoughts as you get them. You will have a ready written record without much effort.
If it looks good then it can be tweaked and turned into a blog post.
Just a thought.
Good luck with all the Remembrance Day things you are juggling.
That is an excellent quote, Stuart!
I feel your pain on the other stuff!
I have a lot of non-money tasks to do myself! I wish you all the best success getting everything taken care off and getting back on track, my friend!
Have an excellent day tomorrow!

Hey VH
Even though you claim to have little business accomplished, I bet you STILL have more than me! As you can see from my tanking rank, I have not been here much and have been totally derailed. Too much going on in my outside life!!!
By the time I get to my websites again, I'm going to have to use a big vacuum and not simply a duster to get all the cobwebs off. Truly sad state of affairs!!!
So, this should make you feel better. I guess when you get to be our age, things/people crop up unexpectedly. I found out that I'm going to be a GREAT grandmother. Whew. I thought it was bad enough being old enough to be a grandmother!!!!! Now I feel REALLY OLD! Ah well, age is just a number right?
Hang in there. It will all work out!!!!
