I love to help answer your questions so do keep them coming. Here’s my top three tips and advice for anyone looking to get started in digital marketing this year.

In this season of life as projects pump up, and I juggle the demands of managing my sphere of influence. I am learning to lean into what I know as the unforced rhythms of grace. I believe that is where we see the best fruit and progress grow. Have you experienced this? It’s the sweetContinue reading “Learning the unforced rhythms of grace”
Nobody starts out an expert
Thought for the day. Whether you are in business, marketing, or any other profession. Nobody starts out an expert, and everyone’s journey is unique to them. I hope this reminds you today that you have permission to go after that dream, learn that new skill, chase that dream profession. The main key for anyone lookingContinue reading “Nobody starts out an expert”
Work with purpose
To work with purpose is to know that what you do has a larger meaning than to simply provide the means to an end. At the same time, it’s important to maintain balance and know that even Henry Ford, the founder of Ford motor company, worked as an engineer for Edison Illuminating Company of DetroitContinue reading “Work with purpose”

Often we refuse to start because we are too scared of the cost, but by doing that we’re only really missing out on unexpected gains that if you look close enough are worth far more than if you hadn’t stepped out in the first place. What do you need to start today?

I was recently asked for advice on how to start aContinue reading “How to start a blog”

What London and life is teaching me
It’s official I’ve finally made the leap out of the country and into the city; from Glasgow to London to be precise. I’ve been horrendously bad at blogging over the past… cough… Two months; but with good reason. All that shuffling and waffling aside, it’s safe to say I have now arrived in London andContinue reading “What London and life is teaching me”
