As an introvert myself, I thought that Facebook groups would be a total waste of time. I barely pay attention to my newsfeed – what good would a group be? Then I joined one because the group admin was a true mentor to me – I figured I was doing him a favour! Little did […]
I’ll be honest: I don’t know anyone who actually loves networking events. But I know plenty of people who thrive in a shmoozy environment, and plenty who… do not. Every so often, when writing in my daily gratitude journal (seriously this stuff works!) I thank Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Ben Silbermann… Yeah. Those guys responsible […]
I believe wholeheartedly in teaching what you know. Nothing beats a teacher with experience – not the textbook kind, but the school-of-hard-knocks kind. If there’s one thing I know about it’s… being an introvert. In my former life as a freelance designer, I could mostly work around the more ‘unsociable’ aspects of my character. The […]
So you’re in a nice routine of pushing out a blog post once a week. May be more. May be less. But you’re getting it done. Then all of a sudden… life gets cray. Everything else seems to take priority and your blog posts go unpublished – and your consistency goes down the pan. Blogging […]
The first time I took the Myers-Briggs personality test I was left somewhat confused. I didn’t fully understand what ‘introversion’ meant, and couldn’t care less for that matter.

But when I came across Sarah Santacroce’s blog, I was actually kind of fascinated by all the features Linkedin offers now, that I certainly wasn’t aware of when I saw it merely as […]
Just around one year ago, I diagnosed myself with SMSD. You’re wondering what SMSD is? The symptoms are: Inability to sleep (without checking instagram one last time) Brain fog (caused by overdosing on cat videos) Lowered self-esteem (due to comparing self to others achievements) Chronic stress (from managing several different social media accounts at once) There […]
When you struggle to spell ‘entrepreneur’, it’s easy to feel like a total n00b. Thankfully, these books have been a huge help to me on my entrepreneurial (phew!) journey, and I love them so much, I thought I’d share them – a little thank you to their wonderful authors. My 10 Books For the N00b Entrepreneur […]
Ever felt like you’ve written the internet’s most epic post – it’s useful, well-written, entertaining… but only a handful of folk read it? Yep, sometimes writing a great blog post just isn’t enough. That’s when we pull out the big guns. Well, this post outlines my big guns – all 10 of ’em! It’s a […]
Repurposing content seems to be all the rage at the moment. With so many platforms available to share our content, I for one feel a bit of pressure to be everywhere at once. (Pssst! I also made a checklist to guide you through this step-by-step. Download it below!) Fortunately, there are tools out there that make this a […]
