📅 Thought for today:
Â
‘I love researching, I love interviewing.’

In amongst the client sessions, running training sessions for three companies, and doing the admin-y things you do when you run your own business, I have been researching and interviewing entrepreneurs.
Â
I’m doing this for a book project, which I will describe another time.
Â
I am researching the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and to do that I needed to brief the entrepreneurs I interviewed.
Â
I also invested in a digital voice recorder, so that I didn’t need to use my phone (which works fine but doesn’t like being used for anything else when recording!).
Â
Coming up with the brief and mapping out the structure of the book is fun, but my real interest is in the interviews.
Â
I find other people’s lives endlessly fascinating, and giving them the space to explore their own journeys, and describe them in their own words is a real joy for me.
Â
I continue next week with more interviews and more research, and it is a good activity to interleave with “day-to-day operations”.
