During the annual ECMeetUp at the beginning of the month, we heard from an amazing group of panelists. Talking about the gaps we have in our online presence. A major take away from the talk for me was about my mission, my one true thing.
Now although I only consider myself a part-time blogger, I love going to the meet up’s (this was my second one).
Firstly because it’s a small group, large crowds and networking events scare me and second I have always received wonderfully informative information.

This Meet Up proved to be even more valuable. Besides meeting wonderfully inspiring individuals and getting to be at the forefront of some great marketing initiatives. Our goody bags where packed full of amazing prizes and the organizers even went as far as to make the goody personal and put what they felt was most important for that individual’s journey.

Among the amazing goodies, Iwori creams, Switchbeauty, silicone and bamboo straws, Koo products and the amazing Oh so Heavenly product. There was a great book called Half Time by Bob Buford sponsored by CUM Books.

Each chapter so far and as a mom and business owner that’s been only a handful of chapters, has offered insightful gems. But this mornings chapter was about What is in the box?

As an administrator, my core business is providing admin solutions that fit your business. That also means that as an administrator, I want to do ALL the things and help ALL the people.

This week I will be asking myself, What have I put in my Box? And see where that leads me! I have so many different things that I want to accomplish this year, it is probably time to find some middle ground. Time to focus in on one thing in my box and not the 4 or 5 things I have on my list to achieve.

I have a passion for making order out of chaotic numbers and papers. With 20 years experience, I have mastered getting those admin ducks to obey and stay in their rows.
