Change of server - please update links

One of the reasons for a lack of posts recently has been Blogger, and its frequent inability to ftp new posts to my server. I've finally given up and moved over to blogspot hosting, so the new address for my blog is http://www.thepaulfisherblog.blogspot.com.

This does mean that I loose my Google PR4, plus my rankings in Technorati have dropped. I'm gutted about this, so please update any links you might have posted to this site!!!

BTW just found a great picture on the OMM, thought I'd drop it in.

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.
