It’s been a while

So I’m back on Medium after let’s see…. about 2 years. That went quick!!

Firstly, you’re probably wondering what’s with the #tag image. Well today my co-founder Nargis Jafferali came up with an excellent idea of coming up with a #tag of how you are feeling before our remote meeting gets underway which each of our team members have to do. It’s a nice way to start the meeting so I though it would be a nice opener to this first ever article. Today is the 08th June 2021… Here goes.

Why am I back now you ask? Well it’s time to start writing some content that hopefully someone will find interesting and it will be a great place to be able to follow my own journey. Frankly if nobody reads the material then I’m not really bothered, although Medium will probably ditch my account if it’s not interesting!!

As the co-founder blazon a content marketing agency that started just before the dreaded pandemic, I think I’m well placed to string a few sentences together to talk about what we are doing with blazon as well as my own journey as a founder of many startups over the years, a father, a son, a partner and fellow human being.

The Sun is shining here in the UK and things are starting to get back to normal after the pandemic (whatever normal is now). It feels like a great time to start writing even if nobody reads it. It’s the second time I’ve said that so I clearly have high hopes right!?

I find getting words out of my own head and onto paper (even virtual paper) can help me. Maybe that’s a bit selfish and a stupid reason to start writing again but I don’t really care!! I’ve learnt a lot over the years and one thing that does ring true many times is the fact that you have to do things that please you and feel right as long as it’s not doing you or anyone around you too much harm. Sometimes you will cause some pain with the difficult decisions you will have to make but you will have to make them if you want to get anything done in life, trust me on that.

So what can you expect to read in my Medium articles? Well there will be lots about business. Lessons, new ideas, failures, successes and anything else that can provide me with a place to see all my progress as well as somewhere for people to get some inspiration. I also plan to write about some personal stuff that helps me from training in the gym to daily regimes that I think can help anyone.

There is no grand plan so let’s see how it evolves. Writing does take time just like going to the gym but if you can make the time then you can see the benefit. Well that’s what’s made me start writing again so let’s see shall we.

Here is to part one of hopefully many editions…
