Reflecting back….

Reflecting back on past events it’s sad that I had to go and have an accident to actually find out who in my life I actually meant something to.

 

The friends of which I never though I mattered in the slightest are actually the ones that miss me the most When you are ill you find out that you mean more to some people than you thought you did and the people that you hoped would be bothered about how you are they are the ones that show no interest.

 

There is no one special in my life right now, 2013 was a year of learning about myself in areas that I needed improvement, I made some silly mistakes of which I have learnt my lessons from and I look forward to the months ahead especially the ones when I can go out and meet up with new people.

1st to 6th September 2013.

My teenagers were away this week and I had the support of friends to come in and feed me. Lots of home cooked meals have been prepared and bought in plus a lovely Paella cooked in my kitchen.

Fortunately, i work from home promoting Organo Gold and World Ventures and then provide my Social Media Strategy Consultancy. I did intend to go to London on 6/9/13 to meet up with #Sunzu /past #Ecademists but this had to be cancelled. Fortunately, alot of these contacts are on Facebook & Twitter so they are really close at hand for me and networking online has been something i have undertaken for the past twenty years so I am quite competent with it.

Just have to put a few projects on hold and concentrate on finding some new ones where i can just be online to share content and will need to start using online tools i.e Google #Hangouts to have long distance conversations with potential new clients.

After anything to do with surgery the hospital gets you up and about as soon as they can and when they are sure you can walk and do a few things for yourself they let you leave. They then carry out assistance at home.  The Physio’s gave me a set of exercises to do to build the muscles in my leg and showed me the correct way to go up and down the stairs.  At home going down stairs is easy, going up I wish there was somebody to carry me.  Really a trial to get upstairs on one leg.  

On my ward were five ladies between the ages of probably 70’s to 93 years.   I haven’t had much to do with old people since my Mother past away in 1997. The lady in the next bed who was 93 was quite funny, she had totally lost her bearings of where she was and also didn’t know if it was night or day.  

I was so thankful for the electric point behind my bed to keep my IPhone on full charge so i could keep in touch with my notifications on the Social Networks and text to my family and friends.  

Food was good, nice to be waited on and since coming home I am blessed to have lots of help and support from my friends and people from church.

Well, when i came round after my hip opp it was lovely that my daughter stayed to make sure i was ok. Had to have screws put in my hip to aid the fracture to mend. Glad that i wasn’t having a full hip replacement as I know this is a horrendous operation.  The surgeon had read me terms and conditions and advised what could go wrong to get my signature but we believe that God sees us through these things and my dying at 52 was too young for me with so much yet to achieve and do in my life.

On the contrary, i haven’t experienced a lot of pain as this has been under control by medication.

Despite having lots of fun  socializing with my friends on the Bank Holiday Monday i felt sad.  I got a lift to pick up my car from Polegate and then accepted an invite to visit a friend.  

I appreciate the friendship we have shared over the past 26 years and how we can chat and joke over our lives and the up’s and downs.  I recalled the empathy i felt for another friend who’s life seemed difficult but I could not help them to change their perspective or encourage them to get out of their comfort zone to make a few changes and set themselves small goals to move ahead.

“A Deer in Headlights” seems to sum up how a lot of people feel and that they don’t see any way out of their circumstances.

When i left to go home my head was in the clouds and typically i was multi-tasking while walking along and slipped up, next thing I knew i was flying though the air, leg slipped beneath me and I landed rather awkwardly, i immediately felt sick and thought I had broken my leg.  Called my friend and she came to help me, called the ambulance and I went to our #Eastbourne A&E.

My friend went home and and my son joined me within four hours I was on the operating table as ex-rays showed i had fractured my hip.  

Find Your Target Market’s Social Demographic

Before completing your social media marketing strategy, make sure you have researched “Who?” your audience is, “What?” their social behavior consists of, and “Where?” they’re hanging out on the web.

Today’s economy forces companies to stretch their marketing dollars as far as they can. Adding a social media marketing plan to the mix allows companies to create greater awareness, increase lead generation, and increase sales in an economical manner. To get the best results though, it’s vital that you research the “who?”, “what?” and “where?” of your target market’s social behavior. If you don’t answer these questions now, your social media marketing efforts will be like a bird flying against the wind.

A quick snap shot of some social media demographics compiled from Pew Research’s latest report includes:

• Gender: 9% more women use social channels than men. Pinterest is the most used channel by women and Google+ is…

Leadership – Are You Following The Person That Has Your Interests At Heart?

Stella Holman - The ConnectorInt Leave a comment

I was influenced and inspired by Amanda Wells – http://www.amandawellsministries.com/category/blog/ who came to our church (Suncoast Church) I have recently read a blog she wrote about understanding the chemistry of the person who was leading your team and was their leadership right for the team?

 

As I mentioned before my calling with regards to “Servant Leadership” that is about looking after other people.

What does Leadership mean to you?

Have you been on a team with highly competent people?

Have you found that sometimes that person is acting like a self-serving jerk.?

A team I am part of uses a strategy and expects us all to adhere to – based on finances!

Relies heavily on the individual’s finances.  Their ability to self-fund from savings or their main occupation, regardless of whether the business is producing an income that could be used to spend on the training expenses.

Those of us that are living from hand to mouth and don’t have spare capital can’t keep up with the rest!

Should someone pitch you a business opportunity and they are clearly looking for what you want to change in your life – look very carefully at this leader’s philosophy to how and what their expectation of you will be before you commit your finances. 

In my business and building my team I will look at individuals skills and abilities and how their can be monetised to work together to help the whole team succeed.

Before I became “The Connector “ I was called “Sunsetwoman” as I was always on the computer and Internet at Sunset when I had got the children into bed, this was my time to build my business.
