At the moment, I’m in the middle of working on a variety of different projects, some of them relevant to this website, others not. But of course, as a writer and creative person, everything that happens in my life is connected with evetything else!
Today was a matter of writing a new form, working my way through it, and ending up with a suitable result. That feels like a good result, and I hope the actions that follow on from that will also be good ones.
Necessary plans – coming up with the needed words and ‘financials’, humph! The Words part of it, that comes more naturally to me, but those numbers, they’re definitely not so natural though.
But when you’re going into business, or upping the actual business you’ve been doing in an informal way, to turn it into something more formal, (and one hopes bringing more monetary rewards), well if you want the money for your business, you’ve got to get the business plan happening!
So that’s what I now have, a business plan for the business that is me – “Carolyn Cordon” Writer, Public Speaker, Art Installationist, and Stand Up Comedian! and the exciting thing that happened last night is that someone spoke to me last night about doing a talk at a Service Group, so my Public Speaking career is definitely happening.
I expect there isn’t likely to be several hundred dollars or so in recompense for my time, nothing like that. I suspect the more likely reward will be perhaps some chocolates, and not a lot else. At this stage, that’s not relevant to me, it’s all about getting the word, my words, out there, spoken!
Some of my published books at an event I’d attended, below:
With the new Business Plan I created, I’ve planned to do many more events such as was the one above, when I have my books on display, ready to be signed and sold!
