Do you have a long held dream? Something you have always wanted to do, but just, for whatever reason, never did? One of my lifelong dreams has been to start a business. I've never been able to pin point exactly what sort of business, or what the business would do - but I knew that it would allow me to work with lovely people, it would be fun, and it would fit around my family and other commitments. Well, guess what? I can tick the box on that dream!
One day months ago, I attended a local blogger brainstorm session, and after we had discussed and solved all sorts of blog related issues, the discussion turned to the lack of blogger events and opportunities available to Brisbane Bloggers, compared to larger citys (looking at you, Sydney and Melbourne!) Straight away, a seed was planted, one that has flourished and grown over the last few months to become a proper business -
Blog Power Events.
Blog Power Events has been formed by Rachel of
Redcliffe Style, Cate of
Life Behind The Purple Door, and myself - we make a great team, if I say so myself, and I consider myself lucky to be in such amazing company. We are so excited about this, and are not even thinking too hard about sponsors yet - this is for bloggers by bloggers, who love blogging.
We know that when bloggers meet up, there is lots of laughter, fun, networking, inspiration, instagramming, tweeting, and fresh ideas flying around. We love to attend them, and we would like to attend more of them, so we are being the change we want to see! We hope to provide a regular calendar of events for the Brisbane Blogosphere to enjoy. Stay tuned for news of a launch party before the end of the month! And in the meantime, pop over to our website and like us on
facebook and
twitter, won't you? Wish us luck!
