hello blog world, i have finally arrived!

So, this is my first official blog.  I’ve been procrastinating and putting it off for weeks, but I decided to dive in and go for it today.  I guess my hesitation in starting was my thought “who in the heck would want to read what I write?”  After all, who am I?  Well, yesterday I saw the movie Julie and Julia and if Julie can do it and become somebody, I figured what the heck, so can I!  I know…it’s just a movie, not reality, but none the less it inspired me to write!

With that lead in, allow me to first introduce myself, my name is Leslie.  First name is good enough I think as just seeing my last name is a bit fear inducing.  I have been in the marketing industry for over 15 years.  Sure, I did my time and worked for a company, peddling their product or service but have never been much for being told what to do and how to do it.  So, 8 years ago I started creating the BUZZ on my own.  Unbeknown to me at the time, and maybe it didn’t exist when I started, but now there is actually a type of marketing called Buzz Marketing.  But, for me, my business is simply about creating a buzz about a business, product and/or service.  Buzz means talk, talk means interest and interest means sales.  It’s as simple as that!

So, with that brief thought I bid farewell for today. I look forward to sharing my thoughts, ideas and frustrations with you all.  For now I leave you with this: “Why not go out on a limb? Isn’t that where the fruit is?”~ Frank Scully
