Once upon a time there was a girl who had spent her entire career working in 'Information Technology' (IT). She enjoyed her work, but needed a bit more variety. She also loved reading books and was always making up stories in her head. She wanted to set up her own business and do something different from her normal day job. So, she put all these facts into her 'Ideas Mixing Bowl' to see what she could make. After lots of mixing, she decided to set up an online business selling courses, books and information. The first course would be about writing books for children. Despite a lifetime in IT, she had no real experience with websites, had never used Facebook and had certainly never written a Blog. What a dinosaur !
That dinosaur is me, Liz. I think I'll be busy over the next few months. I'll be a very Bizi Lizi.
I soon realised there is a mountain to climb and lots to learn to set up this business. There must be others, like myself, who are setting up an online business and need a helping hand. So why not write the story of my new business as it develops. I decided to create a website and let others learn from the knowledge I gain. Hopefully they will avoid some of the mistakes I will no doubt make along the way. I'll record all the technical stuff I learn and add links to useful sources of information.
And so the idea of Bizi Lizi was created.
The website www.BiziLizi.co.uk and this blog www.bizi-lizi.blogspot.com will be updated with progress as the business develops.

www.BiziLizi.co.uk has been created for others to use and learn from. I'm hoping that, in time, visitors to the site will be able to help each other and that it will become a useful source of information for anyone wanting to start up a similar business or any business with an online presence.
I hope my story might encourage some of you to follow your dreams and be brave enough to start your own business. Or, just follow my story over the coming months to see how the story unfolds. I’d like to get visitors to my site so please invite your friends, family and colleagues to follow my Blog and take a look at my website. I'd like to think it was both entertaining and informative.
This is my first attempt at using Blogger to write a Blog, so please bear with me. Initially I was using a page on my website as a Blog. You can read why I've changed to using Blogger on www.BiziLizi.co.uk . I'll copy the first few posts that were on the website to this Blog - these will be my next post.
I hope you enjoy my story and in time will be in touch with me with any comments, feedback or just good luck wishes. I think I'm going to need them.
Bye for now.
Bizi Lizi
