Way back in April I attended a conference in Syracuse. It was sponsored by WISE - Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship. I had gone to hear Patience Brewster (www.patiencebrewster.com) speak about how she had started her business of cards and ornaments. Although I knew the story well - she's from Skaneateles and my son has been part of the company from the beginning - I hadn't heard her speak. One of my clients was starting her own card line and I wanted to see if I could pick up some ideas.
Long introduction to this, but.....As things happen I found more than I had expected. In a breakout session I began speaking with a woman who was busily working on her laptop. By way of conversation I asked what she did, how she happened to be there, the usual stuff. She told me that her company was working on digitization. I was certain I didn't know that, but she added that she was blogging and of that I had at least a passing awareness.
Now the story gets shorter. She gave me her card, Jill Hurst-Wahl of Hurst Associates, and assured me that with a bit of help I could add blogging to my real estate strategy. Moreover, I would like it! We met a few weeks later at Panera Bread and over lunch she launched me and my blog. It was that simple.
I want to thank her immensely and publicly for giving me this blog. I still need to know more about how to expand it, but I am thrilled to have joined the millions of bloggers out there. If you want to see a fully developed blog, try hers: hurstassociates.blogspot.com.
Again, thanks, Jill! You ignited me!
