Welcome to the Savvy Sister's Blogg

Wendy (my sister) and I had this idea to create an on-line community for like-minded women (both young and old) who wanted to share knowledge, skills, ideas. Generally supporting each other in the same way neigbours would support each other in the days when you knew who lived next door or down the road!

Day by day we are building on this idea - our blog will track our journey and you are welcome to join us.

Great Coaching Session!

When I knew that I was leaving work I signed up to the Screw Work Lets Play Programme (SWLP) - http://www.screwworkletsplay.com/    Both of us had read John William's book of the same name and he had inspired us to get cracking with our ideas.  Much to Wendy's envy (she still has a job)  I now have more time to 'play'.

Selina is my SWLP coach - and yesterday I had my second telephone coaching session.  She is the voice of support and sanity. Wendy and I are brimming with ideas, we spark off each other but we have a tendency to go off at tangents.  Selina listened to my ramblings and randomness and here are some of her suggestions:

  • Be clear and specific about what Savvy Sisters is - think of one sentence to describe what our business/website is about
  • Focus on our aims and values - what is it about our business/website that we want our customers/audience to take away with them
  • Start off small, simple and stick to what we love, we can always grow at a later date
  • Structure & plan my day and make sure I have 'down' (non-work) time
This is such sensible advice, its a similar message that I've heard during all the various management courses that I've attended over the years yet ...  I always forget!  Thank you for reminding me Selina!
