The Kitchen Wall of Wisdom (& other shite)

I was introduced to this quote about a year ago...and I think it's fair to say that it rang one of those gigantuous bells in my head, you know the bell that 'rings true'?  So I wrote it on my kitchen wall.

As I said in my 'Me, myself & I' page, I've had a great life to date and have enjoyed the ride.  I have never been one of those people with a great life plan and must admit I kinda felt like I was missing out, but I could never get one together.  If an opportunity comes along and it seems like it's going to be fun/interesting/an adventure...then I go with it.  I love a challenge and am up for learning new skills.  Of course I've got myself into some sticky situations or have ended up-to-my-neck in it but I've survived to tell the tale.  I think that if I had planned my life I would've missed out in some of the most amazing experiences that I've had, of course I might have 'made something' of my life but let us gloss over that!

So getting back to the purpose of this blog...my next new adventure!

I've decided to go solo & start up my own business!  Aaaaarrgghhh....exciting/scary/stupid/brave/ignorant (*delete as appropriate).  I've got a zillion ideas running through my head (well, that's probably not true, I'm just trying to make myself sound way more intelligent/interesting than I actually am!).
So these are my actions/plans to date:

• Contacted this rather fabulous lady I know who is a Personal/Executive/Life coach (I get mixed up with the terminology) and I've started having sessions with her.  I cannot recommend going to a personal coach enough.  It's not a cheap option, but value for money?...definitely!!  You know how life sometimes throws you a curve ball?  Well, that's usually a really good time to valuate what you're up to & where you would like to head next.  So, with Mrs Fabulous, I've been bouncing ideas and with her help looking at and identifying exactly what I enjoy and how I can translate that into moving forward.
•  I've also signed up to a heap of workshops run by the Business Gateway on setting up your own business.  If all the workshops are as well run and interesting as the first one that I've attended then that will be a Brucey Bonus!!
• And research...research and more research!

I've got my company name...which surprisingly is the same name as I use to author this blog...faemoi.  I'm from the north-east of Scotland and 'fae' means 'from'.  I used to live in France and of course 'moi' means 'me'.  So faemoi means 'from me', except as the eagle-eyed will spot, I've merged the words together!!  Clever eh??  hahaha.

So I'm going to blog about it all and just my life in general.  Hopefully this will make an interesting read if it works out... ;o)
