Happy Mothers Day

It's that time of the year again. The MOST important day of the year for us Mummys. In fact we should really declare a Public Holiday in honour of us all. We work so hard, we sacrifice so much for our kiddies, this is our one chance to really soak up a bit of attention and be a princess for a day. And why not. We deserve it. Foot massages, pressies, breakfast in bed, the works. Lets not lift a finger to do one bit of washing, dishes, vacuming…..nothing. Who am I kidding. Most of you Mums will have the washing machine on before you even get that first cup of tea. We can't help ourselves really. The jobs have to be done and we just automatically do them. Perhaps just try to take it easy and enjoy a beautiful, restful day. For once let the jobs go and trust your family to do them. (I know they wont get done the right way but just let it go okay!)

Mothers Day can also be a day of very mixed emotions. For some yearning for a child can bring

intense sadness, other women will be remembering a child they may have lost. There are those that remember a Mother they've lost. Some people have difficult relationships with their Mothers so it can be a day of confusion and longing for something better. Both children/adult children and Mothers alike will spend this day reflecting on the family they have. I truly hope for you it is one of joy and blessings. Enjoy your day, stop and smell the roses and be grateful for what you have.

Expo Fever

Today I spent day one at The Sunshine Coast Business Expo. I love Expos. So much action, people and freebies galore. It's a huge buzz. I love meeting people, seeing what other people are up to and chatting about what I'm up to. As a business owner it's a perfect way to increase your visibility and really 'get yourself out there'. I loved the expo today because it was full of local business owners from my own Sunshine Coast Community. It was an awesome chance to meet them and see them displaying their work. 

The most powerful thing about expos is having that face to face contact with people. When so many of us are online more than not these days, we can often forget the importance of getting out there to meet people. When you have a conversation with someone, shake their hand and personally connect with them they are most certainly going to remember you. We all know if someone knows, likes and trusts you they are more likely to do business with you. An expo is the perfect opportunity to do this and on a grand scale. 

Make the most of your time when you go to one, work it, get your face, your name and your business in front of as many people as you can. Everyones there for the same reason so no-ones going to mind. Its your time to shine so go for it and shine as brightly as you can. Thats what I did today. And loved every minute of it. 

I also got to attend the lunch with Ita Buttrose. Now THAT was worth going to. What an amazing woman. If I can be just half as inspirational as Ita I'll be happy. She had so much great advice for business owners. Her story is fascinating. What struck me about her though was how real she was. Brilliantly accomplished and yet someone you feel like you could sit and talk to for hours. 

So tomorrow is day two. I'll be there bright and early and working it for all its worth. Meeting, chatting and having a ball.
