So I was looking at my 90 Day Challenge workbook and getting all excited about the BiG FIVE. When I started this round last Challenge of 2021, it was to generate attraction for my workshops.  I’ve already sold one, so now I can rest up for a week.  The last ’12 Week Year’ of 2021 […]

I wonder what to write here like I’m stuck and need to get going. I’m staring at my computer in my kitchen, thinking I need to post something, and I don’t know what to write. The next 90-Day Challenge is up today in the Make Your Mark Community, and my mind is blank. Again. Well, […]

We’ve been kicking ass with the Podcast and London Bloggers Meet Up‘s online and in London over the last few months.  I’ve been on Meetup.com since 2008 and I love our podcast meet up and bloggers meet up, but we do need to think of another title!

I had an agonising chat with a mate who runs a coworking space the other day, so I’m writing this post rather than punching them on the nose.  They said they would invest all their marketing money in Instagram when the lockdown ends so people could see their space.   I was in tears.   “I know […]

For a decade now, I’ve been watching people marketing coworking space. I’ve spent even more time watching people do marketing for their small businesses. I see a massive disconnect between what people say they want to do and what they actually do. Think of it like this, Dave Ramsey says that the best place to […]

We’re minutes away from launching our Velvet Platform and are looking for our first round of customers or early adopters.  Everyone from freelancers to coworking space owners asks me, ‘how do I get my first few customers?’ This post will share the basic outline of what we are doing to get our first customers.  And then, in […]

So, reader, last week, I took a look at how my workflow and execution was going in this post here. After a week of action, and there was a lot of effort, the hard truth is I’ve got a lot of improvement to do.  Part of me still feels like I’m writing a blog for someone […]

So, reader, I stopped writing here for a couple of weeks, and this post is about how I got back in the groove.  In the last two weeks, I’ve been losing my hair, and parts of my body have been falling off with confusion and stress.  Then I thought about how to set the reset […]

TLDR – I got a good result from doubling down on a weakness. Before you get into this post, I’m offering a very personal reflection of weaknesses and strengths.So if you are looking for scientific confirmation, this is not the post for you.My miserable, little life is a constant work in progress with highs and […]

I had a few calls last month with people opening a coworking space in their local area.  This post has the answers I found myself giving every time; all of the people I spoke with were independent owners with their own money.  They are opening in their local town or village because they do not […]

How do we meet people? Making an event out of connecting.  How I got into coworking  My friend Debbie has been in the copywriting business since before we had computers. She sat down one day to work out how she knew everyone in her business world.  It all led back to a handful people, and […]
