I am writing this blog post as a call for help. You may have seen me tweeting recently about secret ideas, new domain names and general world domination. The reason for these cryptic hints, as some of you will know, is that I'm leaving full time employment to pursue my own projects. (Yay!)

 

I basically have four ideas that I am equally keen to pursue, but they've been rattling around my mind in a rather unhealthy fashion for far too long. The time has come for me to share my ideas with others, to help me see the potential (or lack of) in each of them.

 

I think there’s something incredibly lovely about saying ideas aloud, especially as people then expect something of you and you look like a bit of an arse if you get lazy and give up.

 

The threat of making a complete tit of myself is an important motivator for me, I don’t mind screwing something up if I’ve given it a go but I am rather distractible (you have no idea how much time I spend picturing my wedding to Dustin Hoffman) and the biggest threat for me in business is not bloody getting on with it. I’ve very publicly said I’m going to give this is a shot now, so you all have permission to give me a hard time about my progress. In fact, I demand that you question my progress if I appear to be going quiet on the business plan front. I don’t want to find in a couple of months time that I can recite the ITV2 schedule off by heart, Ricki Lake is my homegirl but nobody is going to pay me to watch 90’s chat show reruns all day. Or are they? If someone would pay me to do that, then for goodness sake call my ass.

 

I’m rambling somewhat, but the point of this post is to say that if you’re in London during the week commencing 17th of May and you are able to spare half an hour for a chit chat then I’d love to tell you some of my ideas...and more importantly I’d love to hear your feedback on them. I’ve spent far too much time thinking on my own and the Poppy Dinsey echo chamber can quickly confuse a spectacular idea for a rubbishy idea and a craptastic idea for a sublime idea. To cut a long story short, I desperately need some feedback.

 

So! If you’re able to lend me your opinion and wisdom, let’s meet up. I will buy you a drink and, naturally, my handbag is always full of biscuits and cakes.

 

Wanna help me out? Just DM me on Twitter, Facebook me or email me. Not in London but happy to lend an ear? Let’s arrange a call.

 

Thanks in advance. I’ve already been overwhelmed by the support around me.

 

Can I just say ‘YAY!’ one more time? I think so. YAY!
