I'm thinking that recording my trials & tribulations, as well as my successes, will inspire other entrepreneurs to be as persistent as I am. Let me know if that works for you.
The new blow dry menu is going down a storm. The ladies love the glamour! Thanks to everyone who gave their input to launch that service range. And special thanks to the Chi hotels for distributing my advertising in their rooms. It's going to be a long, hot summer :-)

So, my car is still on the waiting list for surgery :-( My mechanic is a very busy man. Good job I have @fyb3r_optic with a back-up 'hairmobile'....
I had a mentoring session with a 'big wig' business professional. I found him on "Linked-In". He liked my attitude. He liked the service feedback on my website from my customers. But my "brand" isn't where it needs to be yet, to achieve what I want to achieve. I was crushed by that feedback. Momentarily. But I'm on it.....he knows what he's talking about. No point asking for advice, if you're not ready to take it on board, right?

Been thinking a lot about the role of mobile service providers in the "Big Society" world. Being out & about all the time in the district and talking to the locals & the visitors, means that we collect loads of info about our communities. There are so many good causes to support, that I was, frankly, a bit daunted. I decided that it would work well for me if I found a cause that was relevant to me personally & to my business. So I got on line & did some research. We lost a family member to cancer. She was a hairdresser too. Very hard when she lost her hair through chemo. Finding out about the Litttle Princess Trust felt like serendipity. So me'n @fyb3r_optic convinced each other to to do a Skydive & aim to raise £1000 in sponsorship. 16th March (Weather permitting) from Headcorn in Kent at 12,000ft! The money will go towards the making of real hair wigs for children. http://www.justgiving.com/ben-sperry We'll post pictures (and maybe videos). If you fancy seeing us scared out of witts, feel free to donate :-) *As an extra incentive, for every pound you donate, you'll receive an e-raffle ticket for you chance to win 1 of 5 Hair By Ben Gift cards.
This month, we're developing a mobile version of the Hairbyben website. If anyone wants to offer tips, please message me. I'll let you know when the HBB web-app is available for appointments & hair products.
For those of you who haven't got into the internet world yet, get me started on the subject while I'm doing your hair....it's really doing great things for showcasing people with talent. @Tw1tterband is an awesome example. Go look them up on Twitter! We really love watching and listening to your tweets. More, more, more......

And finally, it's Valentines Day today. Unfortunately, neither @fyb3r_optic nor me have Valentines this year. On the bright side, this means we can add some blow-mance to your evening.....If you fancy a glam blowdry from our Prix-Fixe menu, you know how to get in touch :-)
