Painful blogging

Tonight I had intentions of only writing one blog. The words seemed to flow rather easily until my internet connection dropped out and I lost everything I had typed after the first paragraph. My last blog took at least a dozen attempts and this is no lie. I was getting frustrated more and more every minute.

Who would have thought in this day and age with the advanced technology that is available that I would still have to experience my internet connection dropping out? The amount of money spent on telecommunications, I expect something alittle more reliable.

Come on tele companies, pull your finger out and provide us with a service that we deserve.  At the very least provide us with a service that we pay for.

When it all falls into place

It’s been a while since my last blog.  I’ve been busy with… scrap that. To say I’ve been busy would be a lie. I’ve been keeping myself occupied with the planning stages of setting up a small business. It seems that after working on a business plan for what was originally a class assignment, it is turning into a good business oportunity. I never realised that the initial stages could be quite time-consuming. It’s also proven to be rather daunting as I go through the process of working out the finer details.

My business idea is to operate a pamper cruise. In September I bit the bullet and decided to go ahead with starting my own business and registered a business name. I named my business Tender Touch Massage Therapy? What do you think? Well I guess it doesn’t really matter what you think because I like it. I think it reflects on how I perceive massage should be. I believe that you should be able to obtain the same outcome as one would obtain in a traditional remedial style massage without the associated pain. Hence why I called myself Tender Touch. Anyway, I now have a registered business and I am excited about the months to come as I prepare to launch my idea to the world.

This week I had an appointment with Sue, the owner of the boat I have chosen to charter for my business. She has been very friendly and accommodating to my requests and ideas. So far I have run the idea by her and left her with the proposed cruise dates. After she has checked her availability, I’ll hopefully hear back from her soon to confirm my bookings and then all systems will be go. 

This week I have also been conversing with a graphic designer who will be working on my logo concept and I placed an order for uniforms. So with one step at a time all things will be possible. There is still so much more to do before this little idea turns into a reality. Financing needs to be established to cover start-up costs, then I need to hire staff and work on an advertising and marketing strategy. Hopefully as I tackle each task all will eventually fall into place.

I look forward to the financial freedom it will offer and the ability to spend time with my son who has struggled emotionally while I have been studying the past 2 years. I’m doing all this for you my darling.
