Oh my what a busy August that was! What with juggling existing work with Cloud 9, I’m amazed I still have enough energy to stand on my own two feet!
First little re cap since last I wrote, charity day was a massive success, raising just over £200 for Macmillan (whoop whoop!). Very pleased at the amount of support we received for such a good cause.
During the past month, Cloud 9 has been on a bit of a journey, whilst clients have been been slow but steady, it has given us the opportunity to review how far we (as in mother and I) would like to take the company. As it turns out, we both have ‘bigger’ ideas for ourselves. Whilst we both love Cloud 9 dearly, and will continue the company in the vain it started, it would seem that both our futures lie on another path.
With ma, it has always been about the writing, she loves it, and she’s actually quite good at it! So I have made it my personal mission to ensure that she achieves financial success in this area – we are looking at the e-book market, so watch this space as Patricia Barber is about to become a household name!!
As for myself, my path has and will always be about weight loss coaching (starting with myself naturally!!). I’m good at coaching (so I’ve been told!) It’s what I love, and what is more, it is about time I faced up to the fact that my destiny lies within helping people to help themselves to overcome their own weight loss issues. It may sound daft, but even reading that sentence back to myself fills me with so much joy and excitement!
As ever, it starts with a plan – and as ever even that has been slow coming, but, at 5am this morning I finally cracked it!
It is my intention to launch myself (as in be as full time as I possibly can be) by 5th December 2011. That gives me three months lose weight, set up the business, and really show what can be done in three months with a bit of focus and a bit of self coaching!!

The Cloud 9 Experience
I know it's been a while since my last posting, and yes I promise faithfully that I will update the blog much regularly in future!
For now - I do have a wee announcement to make!!
In 10 days time (19th July), we (as in mother & I) will be officially launching our new company 'Cloud 9' and to put it mildly, I am rather excited! Cloud 9 offers Holistic Treatments in the form of Manicures, Pedicures, Indian Head Massage, Relaxation Therapy and weight loss coaching (to name but a few).
For our launch, we have decided to hold a charity Express Hand & Nail Treatment day in aid of Macmillan. Essentially, you pay £5 for a 15 minute mini manicure involving filing, shaping and your choice of either a hand massage or polish. All the profits will be going to the charity - so basically we wont be making any money ourselves, and in addition to that, everyone who takes part will receive a few little 'surprises' from us by way of a thank you for helping us to support such a good cause!
The charity day will be held at the Crescent Resource Centre in Lower Earley (Reading), on the 19th July, we will be there 9:30am - 4:30pm, and of course everyone wanting to be involved must pre book their time slots at the reception desk at Crescent.
We will be dropping off the booking sheets on Monday, as well as information leaflets about the day, and our services brochure. I'm sure any one local will start seeing our posters & leaflets popping up all over the place!
Should you be interested in finding out a little more about the charity day, or even better, you want to book your time slot, please visit the Crescent Resource Centre (off Rushey Way) and see the girls on reception.
You will need to pay Crescent £5 when you book, and please be aware that time slots are limited so please book your time slot early to avoid disappointment!
