Creative mind block leads to new business

A friend of mine shared with me the other day that the last few blog posts I've written haven't been very creative.  You've gotta love a friend who can be completely honest with you and at the end of the day, love them for it.

I could blame it on several projects, laziness, boredom or the simple fact, I don't have anything to share.  

Or, I could tell you that when I write, I find myself not wanting to put down what's in my mind in fear that I will put my foot in my mouth like I did the other day.  Picture a room full of people and mistaking the person introducing themselves and saying they were a Mormon instead of member.  Heck, I didn't know.  Just to note, there is an active Mormon.org television campaign happening right now in Spokane and one of the Republican candidates just so happens to be Mormon so I thought it might fit.

Or, maybe it's because no one really reads what I write and I wonder why I continue to blog.  It's like not having a voice when you're in the room with someone else.  You continue to talk and ask questions but the person sitting right there with you is oblivious.  Really.  That does happen.

But today, it is simple writers block.  

Oh, but wait, I named my first business.  Yes, that is a fun and quick story.  My personal trainer, Grant, is opening his own gym in seven days.  Fully equipped with new machines, dumb bells, shaker weights, Zumba classes and a partridge in a pear tree.  Mind you, the shaker weights are for your shake mixes, which I am told need to be stirred and shaken outside the new fitness studio because H20 is only allowed in his new digs.  And, he doesn't teach Zumba but it would be quite fun to see this lively world class trainer try to move like Richard Simmons.

I named it Impact Fitness - he actually liked it, got a business license, rented space, renovated it and now has a live link on the web - check it out http://impactspokane.com/

Go, go Gadget go.  I am huge fan of the new space.  It doesn't have ants.

Last but not least, I pitched another name of a business to a dear friend.  She liked it so I may have a second career...naming new businesses.

Hmmm. I see some trade outs happening in my future.  Isn't that what people do when they can't afford something.  They trade - just like children's trading cards.
