Jack of all trades master of non

Last year I attended the DRUM Live, fabulous event. There was a young chap called Charlie from the Gentlemen’s Journal speaking about being a “Jack of all trades master of one” and how it is not true for this day and age. You see gone are the days you need 10 individuals to run a magazine. In this day and age you can happily have one person who does the lot, as we have seen with many bloggers.

They run the show and do it very, very well. Attend the top fashion shows, tweet, post on facebook, instagram, blog, present… and be the photographer whilst having a full time job… like wtf?

Amazing… well yes in deedy they truly are remarkable individuals as well as being utterly talented… these guys are multi-skilled and are a development of modern society as it is today.

Its the digital revolution… as I always say if you don’t know how to use it then Google it!

Why I love the digital space

Digital rocks my world. I love it and cannot get enough of it… living and breathing it. I think the reason why I adore it is the freedom it has given me. I was lucky enough to study digital back in the late #Naughties (Nineties) and even luckier for the skills I have acquired over the years. I feel utterly blessed I felt this pull towards the phenomenon. The journey I have been on has been like a dream I have to pinched myself all the time. Remember it is your journey and you have to pick the direction. I have to say digital has given me the ability to plan and guide my path to where I want to be. Use it in the right way and it can open doors beyond your dreams.

So now I want to take it to the next level. Watch this space…

Ready, steady GO, GO, GO

I would like to say a huge welcome to my digital space. My Grandad passed away at the beginning of the week at 91. I miss him so much and always will but know he is in a better place. He was full of so much knowledge and love. So this is why you are reading this, yep its because of him. I asked him once what would you of done more of in life and his reply was ‘more play’. So this is my play and what I have wanted to do for a few years now. Thanks Grandad… X

My blog is about my time here on this funny place called earth. I will share my wisdom, ideas and views, which you may agree or disagree with. These will reflect my love of life and interests in the digital space.

Do not expect anything on here to be perfect because I am most definitely not in any form nor would want to be. I have wanted have my own blog for a long time but always found the excuse on why not to or have been wrapped up in creating something for a client. I am not certain if it is a fear of what people will think of my writing and thoughts or some other weird thing in my head that I am letting hold me back. But Grandad Goodchild has given me some of the Goodchild power. Yes its funny I come across people who believe I am as confident as a person could be, but believe me I am caca whacking myself 🙂

Well fear take a run and jump because that is exactly what I am going to do. Here goes…
