OK so I haven’t written for awhile
So its been a crazy multi-tasking time – although the goal never changes…..I want to be out there racing. Since my last blog I have:
– Had a blast round a track (a timed event) but miss the competition…where is everybody??
– Mostly been working 18 hour days.
– Continued working on an ebook to raise some money for racing (its on financial trading – Foreign Exchange…..fascinating stuff – will be well worth a read)
– Paper trading and learning a new platform by GFT called Dealbook 360 so when the ebook is published and hopefully bringing in some money I can trade early in the day – freeing up my time for training, testing and sponsorship commitments.
– Continuing my design work including working on the new Madame Tussauds in Berlin and working on design/construction drawings for the refurbishment of an advertising agency in Central London…u’know..its the thing I do at the moment which keeps a roof overhead, money coming, so I can do the other things which will one day soon enable me to be fully out there…..and beating you all.
– Written 2 sponsorship proposals
– Networking like crazy
– Immersed myself in branding/marketing knowledge so I can write a better sposorship proposal and have more of an understanding of the business of sport. As a driver I think its my responsibility to ensure I have done my homework before approaching sponsors. It also means I can have more of an equal/researched conversation regarding their return on the investment.
– Attended a brilliant ‘Women In Sport’ conference in London.
– Still working out too – I love being really fit and am very competitve with myself in the gym….I know I can be very fit and deceptively strong!
And have met some amazing and inspiring people….who totally ROCK!!
I want to change my life – to be able to train, race full time and make myself available to my sponsors.
A huge THANK-YOU to everyone who has helped me, commented on this blog page, advised me, stood by and offered guidance and just been there….
Never giving up on my ambitions and dreams – they are still as strong as ever…..
