Hats

Well, what an amazing day. Needed to be up at 6.30 in time for a breakfast meeting at St Helens Chamber, didn't sleep very well at all so was up and about at 6, showered and ready by 7.30 so headed off in my little green car. Walked into a room full of people and am still always amazed at the energy of local business people at that time of the morning. The room is filled with 30 plus MDs and a few St Helens Chamber folk mingling. These events are always well organised, structured yet relaxed. After a coffee or three I mingled a bit then spoke with some of my clients (and friends). David did his 5 minute slot and promoted his event that is taking place on Thursday and Monday, I'm really looking forward to Mondays as it will work on developing peoples leadership qualities. I decided that when I returned back to my desk after my bacon butty that I would call everyone on the delegate list instead of the usual email. I introduced myself to each person by telephone and promoted the workshops and masterclasses some more and generated a bit of interest I feel. One of my other clients called and confirmed that one of my leads had developed into a sales appointment for him and that he was very pleased. Made some more calls on behalf of another client so today I have had 5 hats on so far and it's only lunchtime. Had a call on Skype from a really helpful gent who talked me through a process on Sage Act that I had been struggling with (now sorted too I'd like to add). Cooked a frozen pizza just for speed really at about 2.30, ate it then hung the washing out, I love clean bedlinen lol. Had a couple of hours so went to Morisons for some Chai Latte as Amanda was coming this evening to come to a book launch with me. We had to go in Amandas car in the end as my tyre has a bit of an issue and I'm glad she drove as I wouldn't have had a clue, struggled for somewhere to park, arrived late but it was very worth it. Really proud of Andrew Thorpe and glad to know him as his book is amazing and he is an inspiration. Anyone that can leave me that inspired is something worth talking about. Got home quite late. Amanda had a cuppa then set off on her journey home. I am really tired but am still buzzing, met some lovely people and also hooked up with a few of my clients. Very strange meeting them all in one room lol. Anyway, I've rambled enough and am ready for a shower then bed. Supposed to be on a seminar in the morning but it is a bugger to get to and I'll struggle to get my tyre sorted at that time of day so will stay home and hit the phones in the morning then off to Liverpool for a 3 O'clock appointment. Sleep well everyone, until the next time.
