Holidays are never long enough and mine was no exception! My holiday is over and it’s back to work for me today but before I dive in, I need to make an important announcement. Build Me A Blog will be temporarily closing until to further notice. This decision has come about due to us selling our family home in Mackay and purchasing another home in Emerald. We’ve decided to sell with no agent which is a bit scary but also seems like a great challenge that I’m willing to accept and a project I will need to put all the spare time I have into.

I will still be completing all current orders and will still be offering support to past clients but I won’t be taking on any more projects until we are settled in our new home. The timeframe at this stage is undetermined as it will depend on how long it takes to sell our house and to move all our belongings to Emerald. I will still have the website and Facebook page running for enquiries but won’t be taking on any orders.

I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and I’m more than happy to answer any questions you may have. I will advise via this website and the Facebook page when I’m back up and running again. I absolutely love what I do and I thank you so much for your patience and support and look forward to being able to build more blogs in the very near future!

Build Me A Blog is a proud sponsor of Support a WAHP and part of our advertising package with them is an ‘In the Spotlight’ interview that helps give their readers (and my clients!) more of an insight into the business and the people behind it.

When I started BMAB back in February of this year, I never imagined how well it would take off. Literally hours after the launch, I had inquiry after inquiry and then order after order. It was very exciting but also a bit overwhelming and I wasn’t quite sure how to deal with the influx so I did what I do best. I simply dove in head first to get the job done but in hindsight, that wasn’t the smartest idea as there was somewhat of a lack of organisation and I began to struggle.

I’m now slowly beginning to find my feet but to prevent this from happening again, I’m not taking on any more orders until the 1st July so I can catch up on my current projects and give my clients the time and dedication they deserve. I’m also introducing the first of my time management plans called ‘Tech Support Tuesday’. Tuesday’s are now dedicated to answering your questions via email/Facebook/Twitter, doing any updates or upgrades on client sites and completing any outstanding support tickets lodged by clients as these are quite often (unintentionally!) overlooked in favour of the larger projects at hand.

As a busy mother of three children under four, my working time is very limited and I need to use it wisely. I want to be able to grow my little business and provide the best level of service that I possibly can and I believe by just taking it one day at a time, I’ll get there eventually. :)
