Confusion, Killer Apps & Coughs

Gonna be a short one this week, I’ve been sitting up for about 6 hours now and I’m feeling very odd.  I’m still getting over my op last Sunday and when the pills wear off…….eeeeuuuuuuwwwwwww.

Confusion is the order of the day this week - could be the drugs, as Steve says my emails are also very odd - but it has felt like a week when several so-called certainties have not felt very certain.

Blogging from your bed - short sharp burst are easy to do and kill the boredom I found, so there is a number of goodies on the blog this week….My Top 10 Tips on Blogging From Your Bed here >>>>>

To brand or not to brand - your business as distinct from yourself.  See the You ARE The Brand posting for my latest thoughts on that.

Video or audio on your website, it’s a bit like wealth creation, it’s essential you get your head around it, and it can be simple, but initially it’s not easy, as you have to go on a bit of a learning curve.  See how I do it here >>>>>

Recommended reading this week is “Love Is The Killer App” by Tim Sanders, very nice and a good follow on from Joe Vitale’s “The Key”  and the well known clearing / healing method from Hawaii called ho’oponopono which took me happily into the operating theatre in spite of my nerves!

I’ll do a proper blog posting about Tim Sanders later this week as he talks about the virtues of reading in a very fascinating way and one that entirely resonates with me.

My one major tip for this week is - get private medical insurance!  For about £100 a month you can do your whole family, especially if you don’t smoke.

While being ill when self employed is much more bearable, as you can rearrange your schedule to suit, we found to my horror that …

….my gall stone was diagnosed in between a changeover in medical insurances thus not insured.  I ended up going public, and while it was clean and mostly everyone was very friendly, the noise and the relentless “cut you up, sew you up, get you out” feeling about it all was horrid. 

I was in a ward of eight, of which two ladies had an awful chest infection which was worrying.  I could not even roll over without help and they were so busy sometimes, that the help just was not there.  Between the germs, the heat in the ward, the coughing, the noise, the light and the constant disturbances for “obs” while fast asleep…..I had to get out of there ASAP.  Home felt so good.

On that note, I just want to say a special public thank you to Steve, without whom I do not know how we would all cope!  He puts forward this grouchy image LOL but while complaining that he’s changing his name by deed poll to “Jeeves” he’s so much more than the sum of his parts - friend, chef, hairdresser, business partner and childminder - and he has made being cut up so much more bearable.  You are a star, Mr Watson!

Have fun!  In spite of it all, I am.]
