I read a post the other day that said “being at capacity in your business and turning clients away isn’t a flex. It’s a sign you need to grow your team.”.  I found myself a little disappointed—and annoyed, if I’m honest—while reading it, because while expanding your team to “stop leaving money on the table” […]

Here’s something I really dislike about writing website copy….  Unless that copy gets handed over to a killer designer, you have zero control over its effectiveness.  You see, great copy and great design go hand in hand. Investing in one without the other is truly—in my humble opinion—a waste of money.  It doesn’t matter how […]

“Why is no one booking (or buying)?!” If inquiries are quieter than normal at the moment, you feel like you’re getting ghosted after sending a proposal, or noticing sales are on the decline, I get it! You’re not alone.  But rather than panicking, losing sleep or crossing our fingers and hoping something changes, we can […]

I recently ticked another thing off my 40 in 40 List completing my first half marathon. It was awesome. I loved it. (Well… I loved 120 of the 126 minutes of running. There was a solid kilometre in there around the 18km mark where I wondered why the hell I was torturing myself.) Anyway, during […]
