It is a big, scary, confusing world out there normally, let alone today, and when we work for ourselves it can feel all that more alone. But, rest assured, we're all this shit boat together sailing the choppy seas... and I am right here with you and I have been trained to...

Are we there yet?

Nope, sorry my friends. We're at the start of the journey now and yes, there is a long road ahead. I think this COVID stuff is going to impact every human, it is just a question of when and to what extent. I encourage you to be sensitive to one another through this - we're all...

Keep Busy (or not)

Here are some of the things I have been doing through my first 15 days of COVID self-imposed isolation, that have kept me sane:

• Rest - you are on a pretty extreme emotional journey right now and your mind and your heart might need a break. Take it, guilt free. You will be more...

No idea what the difference is? No...

Not sure if you noticed, but we skipped a few weeks... You can check out my last blog here.

I have been absolutely flat out with work, which has been great but it has meant that I haven't been as focused on building my business, writing blogs, facebook advertising etc. The results? Lower lead...

Fantastic news everyone - I have clients! 

It's funny, often we set up businesses with just a concept or idea, and a gut feeling that it will work... but with no customers.

I was fortunate to join Accodex with an existing client base, but it is awesome to how quickly the business has grown...

I'm exhausted.

I'm overwhelmed.

I'm impatient.

I'm excited.

Week One with Accodex has been full on. It's had me on a roller coaster of emotions but I have made it to week two successfully, and I am hungry for more. 

Let me break it down for you. 

In just this week alone here's...
