Time away is what I needed, to figure out what I stand for, and how I’m going to go about it.
The reality is that business, as a tool, isn’t a magic lamp - you don’t just rub/blog it and have good things happen. You have to focus on what you want, and actively work towards those ends. What I’m really seeking is a way to draw people to me, people who want what I can offer, who can see the value of what I’m offering and are prepared to pay for it.Just blogging here isn’t really serving that purpose. In short, like many others, I want blogging to move me in the direction of financial abundance, while allowing me to maintain ‘the good life’ I currently live.I believe, one hundred percent, in the power of blogging as a business and branding tool; however I realised I wasn’t using it right, wasn’t walking the walk I was talking about. So, I’m making a bunch of changes.

Perhaps the best-loved story of specification is Pygmalion. Who Pygmalion is ancient Greek for Dwarf or Pygmy, i.e. the short and ugly fellow who couldn't get a girlfriend. Being clever and skilful he decides to make one instead, and carves a beautiful woman in the finest white marble from the island of Paros. At once he falls in love with the statue, and longs for the gods to take pity on him and breathe life into it. At last they relent, and she comes to life as the perfect nymph; the only problem is that she isn't particularly keen on the Pygmy himself. Bernard Shaw's play (also called Pygmalion) has an English gentleman breathing elegance and elocution into a market-girl, with the same result as the Greek myth, retold (again) as My Fair Lady.
