We’re at the start of a new week. They just keep rolling on don’t they? I wanted to share a resource that I found incredibly helpful last year when I was getting more serious about writing. You may find this useful too. I’ve dipped back into it recently while I’ve been giving more focused thought…
Yesterday was my youngest daughter’s day to shine. And shine she she did. You see.. 30 or so teenagers, including Leah, were part of the Cactus program. An army-style boot camp running for the past 8 weeks. No… it’s not one of those “troubled teens” ones. These young people are motivated to apply for this…
It’s Sunday. Need to rest brain. It’s always working too much. Or “working”… as my supportive wife might say. Like it’s always a bit of 🤔🤨😣😫😡🤯 … When trying to figure out how I should capitalize my titles. Like this one… “The Beachwear You Love — With an Ethical Heartbeat” I’m always wanting to smash…
Had some questions from a subscriber the other day. On a topic that I also sweated blood over. He said… “My biggest challenge at the moment is that I don’t know how to initiate the conversation with a client to discuss exactly what I can do to help them.” Of course, I proceeded to give…
I’ve had to pause and take a bit of reflection time this morning. I’m needing to figure out why I’ve got my current mental roadblock about starting writing articles for my business. The question is: Why am I just not feeling confident about getting started? Well a bit of one-on-one time with a paper and…
Yesterday I put in a proposal for a B2B cold email writing gig. Made it sound good and awesome too: Of course I could meet their needs 110%!! But the wee, little, incy problem: I’ve only ever done one B2B email writing job before for a sequence of 5 emails — and they were quite…
It’s just another manic Monday I wish it was Sunday ‘Cause that’s my fun day My I don’t have to run day It’s just another manic Monday [1] It’s 7:27am on a Monday morning. Been up since 5am “organizing” my day and week. Looking at my “todo” items for today in Logseq… And there’s 18!…
My wife, Vicki, and I help organize a monthly free meal for our local community. It’s a great time to meet people we might not regularly rub shoulders with… and just give back a little. This time around, Vicki is away in Auckland (7hrs+ drive) with my 18 year old daughter… off to see a…
Everyone who subscribes to my list gets my “welcome” email. And there’s an open invite to “let me know what the biggest challenge is for you at the moment in your freelancing business.” Often it’s a bit “all quiet on the Western Front” with replies. But sometimes, I’ll get a surprise… And it’s kinda cool…
The last couple of days I’ve been back on Upwork, ramping up sending some proposals for work. (We’ll not mention any more about that OTHER freelancer work platform that I’m none too impressed with right now.) I’ve been pretty quiet on Upwork lately. So am just getting back into the groove. Rewrote much of my…
