Been looking at my from my business plan again… I help freelancers move forwards faster with the setup and sustainable growth of their businesses. Still hold? yes I emphasise speed… speed not always good,… but i have it there because I’m wanting to help other avoid the tar bits of shinythingitis, self doubts and fear..…
It’s all fun and games with email… until someone gets hurt A few days ago I sent a daily email… like I’ve done many times before. But this one ended up in the spam folder… in both my Gmail and ProtonMail accounts. WOOP!… WOOP!… WOOP! ALL PERSONNEL TO BATTLE STATIONS! WOOP!… WOOP!… WOOP! What to…

Now she was leading her mastermind call today. And is opening up her coaching course for next year. It was delightful to be there…
