Heat wave! Brain Wave

Sitting on the bus enjoying the sun!!! and writing my blog what better way to do the things you enjoy the most. I do so love London in summer, the leafy street of Regent Street just me make me feel....umm....content. How so? i guess it must be the mixture of the hot sun and the breeze from the trees, the best of both world, not too hot or too cold. 

Anyway, i recently ordered some personalised Chocolat from Chocolat a Toi and thought to myself, i could use this for my business. How you say? My invoice will now be sent with a personalised Chocolate, if not for the pleasure of paying me, the recipient would look forward to it for the chocolate. No more lost invoices in the post unless the postman decides to help himself to it of course! But i am sure that won't be the case.  

And just like a heat wave, i have just been buzzing with ideas of how to make what i do stand out. What do i do? Well i make people's life simpler. I do the things people haven't got the time to do, the expertise to do it or just don't want to do it themselves. However, why not make the whole experience from the beginning of the long relationship, with my client, to the end, a memorable one. One with lovely surprise and ohs!!!!! and ahhh!!!!!in between. I mean; life is to be enjoyed not endured and that needs a bit of intent on our part. Just like writing my blog while on the bus, journeying around London, is so much fun. Everything one does could and should be enjoyable while been done exceptionally well.

But back to personalised Chocolat, i am still ruminating on some ideas, like cookie fortunes, why not a the same concept but with Chocolat instead! Placing chocolate on the Pillows in the numerous flats I maintain comes to mind. Anyway, there is a lot of food for thought. 

In the meantime why don't you check out chocolat a toi http://www.chocolatatoi.com/, for ideas, you'd be surprised how beneficial chocolate is to you.

Gold dust

If you asked me tell you the meaning of knowledge i'd simply say "gold dust". Just as it is hard to find gold dust, or at least it is not easy to find in my neighbourhood, it is hard to acquire unadulterated knowledge. Just to clarify knowledge is different from information. So back to that with the internet, information has never been so easy to get your hands on but then turning that into knowledge has turned into an art form i plan on mastering. In the next months, i will share or at least at tempt to share my experience and knowledge in various areas but most particularly in the area of business or entrepreneurship. 

Now however, it is time to catch my beauty sleep and put my brain to rest.
