My First Words

I’m taking the plunge with my first blog entry on my new Word Press site. I’m excited to learn my way around this platform, to share my story and learn your story too! I will be using this page as an informal diary (read: there will likely be typos, and an overuse of “quotation marks” and dot, dot, dots…).

There are multiple ways to tell your story to the world. While the WWW encourages us to go global, I think we’re better off finding our tribe – the people who believe what we believe. Your tribe includes your customers and colleagues, your workout buddies, spiritual soul mates and friends. Your tribe is interested in WHY you do what you do and so am I. Discovering your “why” takes introspection. It is vital to your business and personal health and essential to marketing communication.

Speaking of communication and WHY, here’s me: Variety keeps me in the game. I have a host of interests and I’m inspired by too many creative possibilities. I have embraced my multipotentialite destiny and decided to combine my talents into one vocation.

Naming my business has been a challenge. How does one combine design, marketing, sales, fitness instructor, swim coaching and various artistic hobbies into a one-man business? Welcome to Dana J Creative, a.k.a “Buoyant Freelancer”.
