First off, Happy New Year!
I hope the rain and wind hasn't got you down, just remember the saying "after a hurricane, comes a rainbow"... or is that Katy Perry lyrics?! I'm sorry to say that my first post for 2016 is a bit of a rant. In the past few weeks I have visited too many websites that are ugly, hard to navigate, don't provide the right information or all of the above. It doesn't make sense to me that this far into the online game, so many places haven't put their best digital foot forward. Especially when it can be such an easy fix! I don't think websites need to have all the bells and whistles, but they should enable people to find what they need with ease and give them a positive first experience with your business. Every time I visit an unfortunate site, I feel like sending them an email saying, "hey, you can do better than that... let me help you" but I'm not sure how they would feel about that. Insulted? Or interested? Maybe I'll give it a go. I'll keep you posted. Until next time... Fx I've been a bit quiet on here lately, living life and doing actual work (yay me!) but with tomorrow bringing with it a new year, I thought it was time for some reflection.
2015 was a big year for me; The Miss turned 5, The Little Mister turned 3, we sold our house, I FINALLY went to Niue, and I quit a job that paid fairly but was deeply unsatisfying (not in that order). In doing so I ceased to be an employee for the first time in forever; which was both liberating but scary. I found myself talking to people who had backed themselves and their talents by creating a business, and I wanted to help them succeed. Anyone who believes in themselves enough to take the risk of starting a business gets my respect and admiration. It takes a certain amount of moxie to say, "Yep, I'm good at this so I'm going to offer it to the world" and then actually doing it. It takes moxie and smarts to be successful at it. To anyone out there doing things on their terms, in their own way, gets a high five from me. So here I am, attempting to follow in those people's footsteps and offering the world (or at least this part of it) my skills and know-how to try and help take their business to the next level. I'm pretty darn good at going loud about how awesome other people are, but a bit more subdued doing it for myself... 2016 is the Year of the Monkey. It's also the year that I will get my little business All Sorted and try to make a real go of it. Thank you anyone and everyone who has supported me thus far, keep watching this space. Happy New Year! Stay safe, happy and well. Fx |
