So what have I been up to this last week? Well Monday-Wednesday were booked in as holiday. It was my partner's birthday so we went on over to Thorpe Park for a few days. Here I am waiting at the entrance to the new Saw ride (which we went on twice!):
As you can tell by the very blue sky, it was hot. Very hot. So it was great to get away and chill for a few days (even if we were hanging upside down most of the time!). Stealth has to be the scariest ride I've ever been on. 0-80mph in 1.8 seconds certainly gets the adrenaline going.On Thursday I had a really good meeting with Paul Callaghan. Paul is the chairman of The Leighton Group which is based in Sunderland. He is also the founder of the Entrepreneurs Forum and a huge champion for entrepreneurship in the North East. It was great to discuss my idea and my goal to generate proof of concept funding. He seemed to like the concept and gave me some great feedback on what to do next. His advice to me was "follow the money".
I'm also busy redeveloping my other project. I've been working as a freelance web designer/SEO consultant for some time and I'm now moving into offering a full creative agency called Fizz Bang Interactive. We're busy building the new site (the old one is still online: www.fizzbangseo.com) and are aiming to offer branding, web design, print design, SEO, social media marketing, hosting, e-commerce and IT support.
We're currently looking for a printer in the North East who we can outsource full colour business card printing to. If you are a printer or can recommend someone please get in touch with me at emma(at)fizzbangseo.com
So now I just have to wait to hear the results. If you haven't yet voted, please vote for me! Please please please! The address is voting@entrepreneursforum.net
