Firstly I must apologise for not posting sooner. I've been so busy lately I'm just catching up with things now.
Secondly I would like to say a big congratulations to Craig Smith who I was running against. He's a lovely guy and has a great business. He deserved it 100% and I hope I'm doing as well as him in a couple of years from now!
So what have I been up to?
Well iYosh has bee going through some changes. What started out as a web 2.0 app has now been merged with a seperate business idea I had. It will now be integrated as an application into a new software product I'm developing.
Next Thursday I've been invited to the University of Teeside to take part in a seminar for their Digitalcity Fellowship. This is really great scheme that allows someone with a business idea to become an entrepreneur fellow for 6 months. The process allows you to work with the University, mentors, businesses and fellow entrepreneurs to turn your idea into a trading business. So I've been invited along to the seminar and then to apply for a place.
I'm also working very hard with my best friend Allison. I've been freelancing as an SEO consultant under the name 'Fizz Bang SEO' - www.fizzbangseo.com - but we've decided to setup a dedicated design and marketing agency together. So at the moment we're working on our new site and those of several new clients, including Newcastle University. I've loved design since an early age and have worked in everything from logo design to e-commerce for a while now. So we decided to create a company that provided all these things. The new company will be 'Fizz Bang Interactive' but will reside at the same web address. I'll let you all know when it goes live.
Also found out that I'm being nominated for another business award... but will share when I know more.
On a more personal note, I'm about to have 7 wisdom teeth removed (yes I'm one of those lucky individuals who has more than the standard number of wisdom teeth) in hospital. I'm just hoping any business wisdom remains! I'm scared so words of encouragement are greatly received.
