Let's try this again! 2012

First things first, I haven't quite been consistent with this blog.....  ok I admit it I gave up after just 2 entries!!!

But I'm back, I've decided to give it a go again, lots of changes have happened since I first tried this and I have different reasons for wanting to write a blog.  Before it was to support my business, about marketing and getting myself and my business seen.  So what is it about now?

Well I'm not one for writing diaries but I am ALWAYS writing little notes and scribbles and cutting out stuff from magazines.  It could be anything from training plans, class plans, recipes, things I want to remember, books to read, courses to attend, music to buy, places to visit - you get the idea.  Trouble is I am a hoarder, if I see an article in a magazine that I like then its kept along with all the note books & scribbled pieces of paper and quick frankly its out of control and useless to me.  I hope this is going to act like my brain dump and a place where I can keep these things and refer back to them rather than having a house full of books, notes, magazines & chaos.  I need this blog to give some order to my obsession and then maybe I could sort out everything else that I hoard...

So ultimately, this is not a blog aimed at anyone in particular but something to help me.  If anyone is interested in reading it then why not?  Of course health & fitness will be mentioned a lot as I love my job just don't expect fantastic grammatically correct, funny blogs cause thats not me.

WARNING: Whatever I post here is my opinion only, whether you agree or not or even if you can prove otherwise its just an opinion :-)

Purley Way on Fire!!!

Day two of my blog & I have plenty to tell you about - Purley Way was on fire today in so many ways!

Not only is the place shrouded in a smoke cloud from the still burning tyre warehouse but we had TWO amazingly hot Zumba classes at LA Fitness & Greens.  The party started at LA Fitness and there was even talk of a certain blond local celebrity making an appearance! Regardless of celebrity attendance we had a full class of booty shaking lovelies getting down to a bit of MJ and some great reggaeton, salsa & cumbia tracks.

Next stop Greens & it gets better, our second male member ventured into the class today.  Who can blame him with 25 ladies having so much fun its seems more men are finally catching the Zumba vibe.  The verdict? "I didn't know what to expect but I loved it" he said  "just as much fun as the salsa classes I go to.  I'll be back!"

And so now I am planning my next two classes at Tunstall Nursery tonight to make this the hottest Friday ever.  Watch out guys we might have to call the fire brigade to Tunstall Road tonight & introduce some more men to the Zumba Vibe...

Lost for words..me?

Today I decided it was time to start a blog having been inspired by the lovely Tina Crawford, Creator of Tobyboo.

I've had the pleasure of spending the past few days with Tina, who was one of a few chosen to take part in the School for Creative Start Ups run by Doug Richards (Ex Dragon's Den).  We have been talking business plans plus lots of other random subjects whilst heading into London & apart from the horrific train journey - slap bang in the middle of commuter rush hour - it has been great fun.  So now I come to write my first post & I don't know what to say...  

Am I tired, drained from commuting? Yes but that doesn't usually stop me talking.  That's when I realise I'm scared! A very successful business man & entrepreneur recently said "Visibility is the number one key to a success in business" and I am trying to take his advice on board.  So deep breath, here it goes my first post!

I'm here... can you see me?
