How do you measure the success and impact of your marketing efforts in attracting new members to your coworking space? I know this quote is often attributed to many people, not just retailer John Wanamaker. These days it's a cliché about the effectiveness and risk of what you should spend on marketi
My Attitude Of Gratitude At Getting Being Sick This Week
I've been thinking a lot about organising my workday this week. The only thing that makes this a bit odd is that I've been lying in bed with COVID as I think this. Of course, COVID is nothing to be smiling about, and I know I've little to fear compared with other people who get it. My Gratitude to be alive these days One of the things I am most grateful for these days is how I see the world and my will to live. This is what Brene Brown calls "An attitude of gratitude!"

Trust is Why I'm Not Using Your Amazing Product Or Service Today.
Hey, if you are reading this, it is more likely I sent it to you directly than you found it on the web. I send this to everyone who hits me up via text, LinkedIn, email or another way to invite me to a call or pitch me a fantastic product or service.

How Saying No Will Make 2022 The Best Year Yet
From the start of COVID in 2020 I've been through one of the most challenging times in my career. The challenge was not the economic uncertainty, health risks, global pandemic or the stuff you would think. I went through my toughest emotional cycle of change yet. And got kicked out the other side in the most exciting place I’ve ever been. The journey took me from being a die-hard independent freelancer to taking up my first full-time job in twenty years. Even writing that sentence feels a b
The Best Coworking Space Management Software: Updated
Archie App vs andcards vs Cobot vs Nexudus vs Office RND vs Zapfloor A year ago I made the statement that: “Coworking is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason.” Which, based on the data from this Allwork article proves that I was right.

The “new normal” as we used to call it, seems to just be normal now. We have all gotten used to w
Why is blogging more important than ever in 2021?
Why do you need a blog in 2021? People have asked me a few times if they needed a blog in 2021. No, I am lying. No one ever asks me that. But I wish someone would ask me because I’m dying to start a conversation about why you needed a blog in 2021. You must know people who write they’ve been “asked about” rarely have been. It is easy to start writing about something and validate its need. Do I need a blog in 2021? It would be best if you had a blog in 2021. The world has never been mor
How I beat Lockdown with a 12 Week Year and 15 Minute City
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 On Monday 4th, the last '12 Week Year' of 2021 kicks in.
