Mmm, Google Calendar

Crap. I've just started using Outlook again because I needed to impose more structure on my life. I'm becoming so busy that I've even started to schedule telephone calls in advance, so I've blown the dust off the Outlook calendar and have spent a week in blissful organisation. My PDA and Outlook have been working in perfect harmony, working with Gmail in the background as a perfect online email filter and storage device - perfect. But then Google Calendar is launched, and by all accounts it's excellent. Now I'm going to have to rethink my system! I know what you're thinking - don't fix what aint broke - but new Google toys are such fun! Damn Google.

Why I Blog

Last year I was asked by my local development agency to talk to school children and young adults about starting businesses and life as an entrepreneur. Naturally I balked at the idea. Nothing terrifies me more than standing in front of 30 young people, desperately trying to keep them interested in what I’m saying.

After further discussions it was suggested that I might blog about my experiences as a young businesses owner and social entrepreneur, so that younger people might get a flavour of the kind of issues I face in a medium they understand.

I'm currently in my (late!) twenties and have built up several businesses ranging from car dashboards, software sales, website design and restaurants. My current project is a major charity arts event. I have a strong form of the learning difficulty dyscalculia, but hope to show others that the disorder can be overcome by effective coping strategies and a lot of confidence!

So here I am.
