Haven't done one of these blog things for a while

This will be my first blog of 2015. It's June.

I've not been lazy or anything like that, In fact, quite the opposite. I'm writing a book, to be released later in 2015 and every time I have a good idea for a blog i realise that it would make a great part of the book. Dilemma! So, I decided to focus on the book. Truth is, It was a massive mistake. 

By not blogging, I started to reduce my reach and audience. The same reach and audience who will, hopefully,  buy the book later in the year. This got me thinking a little further. What other compromises have cost me my goal or taken me in the wrong direction??

Choosing outfits, choosing friends, what to eat, to take on that new client or not? Every choice we make we not only gain something, we sacrifice something too. 

Now what??

I decided to go back to basics. Discover what my goals and values are. Now i have those clear in my head I can make the right decisions, not what I THINK are the right decisions. I'm not a simple person, I have actually been known to have more than one 'clever cookie' moment and i've now realised that sometimes you don't need to make a choice, you can have the best of both words. 

Great news for you lot. You get me blogging AND you get a book at the end of the year. 
*Cue screams of terror and people burning their laptops all over the world*

The moral of this rather oddly written blog is that
1) You need to know who you are and where you're going to make the best decisions
2) Sometimes you don't have to choose - you can have it all
3) Cookies are yummy. 

Until next time...

Much Love
