Happy New Year!
After spending a couple of days in a jet lagged haze I’m back and ready for this great new year!
Had a brilliant couple of weeks away – was great to see family and friends, we had good weather mostly with a few freezing -7 days thrown in! On our last day in Paris [...]

Au Revoir 2008!

Posted on December 19th, 2008 by Clare Lancaster

As of today (20/12/08) I won’t be updating till the New Year (12/01/09)!
I’m off to enjoy a three week break in Europe where I’ll be disconnecting, exploring, relaxing and preparing for a brand new year with brand new opportunities.
Wishing everyone a beautiful Christmas/Happy Holidays/New Year break, make the most of it because I think ’09 [...]

One Day I Want to Work in a House Full of Creative Entrepreneurs

Posted on December 17th, 2008 by Clare Lancaster

Ever since I was a wee lass (read: a grade ten work experience student who landed work with a brilliant small business) I always wanted to work in a beautifully renovated Queenslander close to the city with a group of talented individuals with complementary skills.
We’d each have our own rooms for offices, and basically run [...]

The Little Business Plan That Could

Posted on December 16th, 2008 by Clare Lancaster

It’s safe to say I’m obsessed with Fleetwood Mac right now and I’m sure listening to them in the future will take me back to this time. This line sums up where I’m at – “So today she says, well I’ve changed my mind, that’s a women’s right they say.”
Good. ‘Cause I’ve done it three [...]

Christmas is coming

Posted on December 1st, 2008 by Clare Lancaster

After listening to this 80’s Christmas song last night we couldn’t wait any longer.
The tree is up and sparkling with too many fairy lights (actually, can there ever be too many?) but I haven’t started the shopping yet!
Am planning to buy all my presents online this year. What online shops are you buying from this [...]

How to start and run your business, your way

Posted on November 24th, 2008 by Clare Lancaster

A couple of exciting things happened today:
1. I can *hopefully* mark “find a lawyer who understands the Internet to help with contracts” off my to do list!
2. I managed to spend a bit of time reading this gem of a business book called “The Boss of You“. It’s written by two female entrepreneurs from Vancouver, [...]

Thanks for reading :)

It’s a beautiful cool morning here in Brisbane this morning and I was just thinking of all the support that I’ve received through my blog so far. This is my first personal blog and I’m so thankful that people are liking it!
There really is a buzz in the air. So many smart women going after [...]

While I’m waiting for our first profile here’s a bit about me

Posted on November 17th, 2008 by Clare Lancaster

I’m still waiting for the first interview questions to come back (successful online business women are v. busy) so thought I’d post up a personal profile to give you a bit more of an idea about me and my business.
Q) Can you tell me a little bit about the story so far?
I’ve been working on [...]

Slowing down

Posted on November 10th, 2008 by Clare Lancaster

Have decided to not launch my business till the New Year.
Half disappointed/half relieved – slow and steady wins the race they say.
I’m going away for 3 and 1/2 weeks over the Christmas New Year break so I don’t want to launch it then leave it. Businesses need love right.
