My Anchor is

"A ship is safe in the harbour, but that is not what ships are for".. William Shedd

Love that analogy.. and by now you should know how much I love to use the analogy!

SO this is day whatever in my journey to I don't know where the hell I am going with all this. One day I am focused, next day... dumbfounded.. next day discouraged.. next day..delirious.. next day... dry.. but my humidifier can remedy that one!!  But what do I do about the others?
Each day I also learn more... knowledge is a wonderful thing... always more to experience, gather, process, analyze, debate.. the list goes on and on.

One thing that remain true.. I have a strong desire fill the ships tank up and steer .. somewhere.. SOOO my journey through the high and low seas is simply that.. a journey. And for me to expect it to be all clear and perfect is unrealistic. It is the journey not the destination... we all know that gem!! Without high we wouldn't appreciated the lows.. no wait.. that is backwards!! But you catch my drift!

I will take the wheel and leave the harbour to destination wherever.. I will send you a postcard.. I swear!!

Ok... so I havent blogged cause I have been on a deep thinking exposition. One theme that always pops up with me... come on.. you know it... organization... time management... and more recently the myriad of people out there who want to help you solve those problems with all these wonderful tools of the trade.

But here is my dilemma... there are too many... helpful wide eyed success makers out there. All pulling you in different directions. The wonderful inspiring message at the end of the day tho is.... there ARE so many wonderful wide eyed success makers out there. AND , if you hook on to one.. they are more than willing to toot the horn of another colleague. So you spend the better part of the day perusing link after link and where are ya then... another 21 windows open and you really havent done a thing.

So many wonderful tools are out there now at our finger tips to help us... time is the key. Especially since there are so many "mompreneurs out there, each day is a juggling, three ring circus act.  Years ago I wanted to make a one stop shopping site/manual for business start ups. Everything from legalities, business numbers, marketing etc. Now, so much is online and the social marketing opportunites are staggering. So my answer is to compile resources to make life and business easier. Ah... the classic those who cant - teach!! But I firmly believe embarking on this project will ultimately turn myself into a time management marketing guru!! See... the method to my madness?.. then it becomes Doctor heal thyself!!  In summary....helping others will help me.. win win... :)

I am coining a new phrase.. WEBTACKS.. (tacks - direction, sweep, approach.. u get it!! )  it is the new web approach to marketing.. a new direction in marketing strategies. Which are more based on a sweep of all online based tools like Twitter, blogs, Facebook, myspace, youtube, LinkedIn.. the list goes on for miles.. all of them melding and mutating into a package for your client that is a multi-coloured smear that transcends your brain thru space and time and ... I think I have made my point with this epic run on sentence. Seeing as this is the new wave here.. I think it is deserving of its own special name.. so when we all get sick of it and move to something else.. our grandchildren's grandchildren can look it up on there own personalized portal device and go back in time to see the silly people using these primitive tools and laugh.. they will.... I SWEAR!!
