Over the past 7 months, I’ve been doing a weekly challenge on a new blog called ‘Find Your Spark’. In this post, I thought I’d share some of what I’ve learned (and relearned) through doing this challenge.

There are only 45 days until Christmas! The silly season is almost upon us. If you start preparing your blog for Christmas in December you’re probably too late. Today and over the next few weeks, we’ll look at a few different blogs, and see how their owners are preparing for the festive season.

Back in November of 2002 when I first hit ‘publish’ on my original (and short lived) Blogspot Blog I did so believing that this ‘blogging thing’, which I’d only just heard of, would be a bit of fun. I started for a number of reasons but in short it was curiosity and the hope of a new hobby and perhaps some new connections that drew me to it. At the time I was working three jobs.

Over time, through hard work and discipline, using the techniques I’m going to share with you in these courses, my blogs have grown from a hobby (some would say an obsession), to a part-time, then a full-time job, all the way through to a fully fledged business employing a team of people.
