As I mentioned in my last blog, this company wasn't totally my idea. It came about after friends who I made through business networking gave me the nudge. I say nudge, it was closer to a baseball bat to the head.
The idea came about in 2013 but in reality the journey started on 3rd October 2011. The day I joined 4Networking. I'd never attended any networking events in the past and online forums were completely alien to me. I set my fears aside, booked in to my local group, 4N Romford, and hoped for the best.
Never in all my life have I been welcomed so warmly by so many strangers. People who wanted to know about my business, offer help, support and guidance. I stepped out of the shadows of the business world and finally felt like I belonged. I wasn't alone any more. This First Stage I was known as 'Dionne Atkins of Phoenix Personnel Consultancy Ltd'. I had been in the recruitment industry for nearly 10 years at the time, and had started Phoenix in 2010.
Over the next couple of years I would grow my business and grow as a person with the support of the 4Networking family. I started to build solid business relationships and friendships with the members, directors and associated companies of 4N. This wasn't on a local scale, these relationships built all across the UK thanks to the business shows, social events and online forum. Not to mention the fact I could network at any of the 5000+ networking events spread all across the UK.
4Networking and the people I have met changed my life. I'm scared to start mentioning names in case i miss someone!
Back to the present day and I was inspired to start Miss Make It Happen. I wanted to give back to all those people that had helped me. MMIH is a problem solving, workload reducing, helping hand to all those busy business owners. We do the things that you don't want to do, can't do, and or just don't know how to do. If we cant help you we have a wealth of recommendations of other companies that can. All tried, tested and with glowing references.
If you need a boost in life or business then I would suggest joining 4Networking.Or you could just contact me!
I said I wasn't going to mention names but I do need to mention 3 authors and a Brownie maker...
Firstly - Brad Burton author of 'Life. Business.Just got easier'. EVERYONE should own this book. If you buy the book I personally recommend page 95... You'll see why ;) Also, check him out at http://bradburton.biz
Secondly - Stefan Thomas of 'Business Networking For Dummies'. Everyone who wants to start networking or get the most out of networking should buy this book. You can find Stef at http://www.noredbraces.co.uk
Thirdly - Dougie Brimson - BRILLIANT author and screenwriter. 'The Crew' 'Top Dog' 'The Art of Fart' 'Billys Log' amongst a few, have kept me company on many a long train journey, late nights and alone time. BUY HIS BOOKS! Dougie is not just an author he is also a Falklands veteran... You can read his story here... http://dougiebrimson.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/falklands-war/
Finally - The brownie makers that are 'The Chock Shop' - I once tweeted that I was feeling down. To be honest I was really low, and they sent me a free box of 6 mixed brownies to cheer me up! who doesn't like brownies? They are so beautifully presented they make a great present.
So that's it for another week.
Remember you are not alone
Until next time, Much Love
Miss Make It Happen.

How It All Began
Miss Make It Happen was born in March 2014.
The idea first started back in 2013 when a business event I attended didn't quite go to plan. The venue wasn't open, there was no furniture, no food and no COFFEE! I happened to be at the event a hour & a half early and stepped in to help. By the time the event was due to start everything was in place. The people attending the event were none the wiser and everyone was happy.
I was told that day that I had a male brain, that i'm a quick thinker and without my logical thinking things may not have worked so well. It was nice to hear but I didnt think much of it, I've always been the type of person to look at something and be able to fix it or see a solution. Apart from the Rubiks Cube, I've never been able to do one of those. Anyway, Months went past and I helped several other people out of sticky situations and pickles. Some people needed advice or ideas, some needed help with social media accounts, others needed help with recruitment. I should probably point out that I have been in the recruitment industry for 12 years and have owned an agency for the past 4 years.
Over those months people started to mention how good I was at problem solving and a good friend of mine started calling me 'Miss Fix It' and Miss Make It happen'. After a lot of thinking I decided why shouldn't I help others? There is obviously a need for this service and i'm more then capable of delivering it to a high standard.
So what are we and what do we do exactly?
