Effusive Entrepreneur

Wow 3 years ago my son was just turning 1 years of age and I was already midway campaigning speaking and spreading awareness trying to stop the tragedy that happened to my son happen to others! It was my way of dealing with depression it was a form of denial at the time I didn't quite comprehend the magnitude of the change in our lives or that of my sons. I would never dream that this could happen to us only a year before I was living a very ‘normal life’ with regular aspirations. I failed the families that did not receive my message to prevent their little ones being afflicted by the same pain. To those parents and children left in a similar situation to us through mistakes I thought I could save everyone, naive maybe, but I am proud some families stumbled across our campaigns and not only did they avoid their child becoming disabled but they too have helped spread the awareness and the message because of their close call. So big thank you to you also. What happens to parents in situations like ours when your children are hurt so badly their impact is your own impact. I tell you what happens YOU DIE INSIDE!! Somehow I personally found strength in sharing writing a blog on Mylittlespartan.com and spreading awareness and writing to the government and NHS for change. I can't write as I have dyslexia so this was unnatural to me but when the will is so strong anything is possible. I am PROUD that nurses and student midwives use our story as awareness of what can happen even though we use to be a private family not liking the limelight I have realised I had to expose myself to expose the problems that needed fixing. We have endured trolls on news campaigns and some negativity from a minority that think it's funny to mock children who are disabled. Being a creative I am not naturally used to being forced into set routines that with a disabled child inevitably is often the case with endless schedules and appointments etc. I have missed funerals, weddings, birthdays, holidays, you name it because I felt I lost control of my freedom. All my life I've been an entrepreneur in one way or another and never knew it or labeled myself one. From a child, I would break toys apart just to remake them into something different and not on market. My cousins did not appreciate me playing with their toys! In recent years I've created online businesses only to digress and start other projects because my mind can't help itself float around all these wonderful thoughts and visions I see and need to create. My old university tutor use to say I was a design whore that could not stop at one idea I always had to re-develop and set onto other jobs hence the (whore part) yes weird but it was a compliment. I was told I was Effusive in my work and my way of expression. This title stuck as I set up my first design company called Effusive Design. Which I ran whilst at a university. Effusive meaning expressing emotion in an unrestricted way. I then ended up working for the BBC in London after exhibiting my work at a university show. My effusiveness is something I tend to do and have naturally gone into help others with my unrestricted waffle. Seriously though if I inspire that gives me strength and if it helps others that help me inside it literally cures my broken heart. Recently speaking to a fellow father to a child made disabled he told me how much I had changed his life where I gave him hope and that I inspired him to fight on and have hope in his own child that his son Brian would prove the world wrong and conquer all his disabilities like I know my son already has proved!! Yes my son is still very disabled but he was deemed blind he now can see and with technology he now hears. If we could focus more on his body who knows the future. Anyway I'm leaving this video as a reminder to myself as I approach another entrepreneurial journey into property mastery I have realised my true calling is to inspire and help others. I'm proud of what I have achieved and so is born Effusive Entrepreneur hosted by myself I aim to help others in a totally off the wall, natural no bullshit not scripted life rant. I will connect with others as I expose what I have found in business and in people that help the mindset and the will to fight against some of the life's misfortunes but also life's happy moments. I am still learning and still growing like all Entrepreneurs we never stop. There is no direction to this it's simply me giving. It will be launching really soon and I will be giving away lots of goodies. Stay tuned!!!!
