Let’s be honest: staying visible as a business owner can feel like shouting into the void. It’s easy to feel like it’s all pointless. But here’s the truth: it isn’t. So if today feels thankless, if you’re wondering whether to write that post or go to that event — do it. Stick with it. Your future clients are noticing — even if they’re not telling you yet.

As my little business tiptoes toward its very first birthday (1st July — mark your diaries, or feel free to pop a gift in the post! 😉), I find myself reflecting on the past 12 months with a glass of very reasonably priced Aldi Champagne in hand and a whole lot of gratitude in my heart.

We often hear the phrase “Nice guys finish last.” But in business—and in life—I’ve found the opposite to be true. People like working with nice people. Not the flashy ones shouting the loudest online. Not the ones who make life complicated. But the ones who just… make everything that bit easier.

We often hear that delegation is a skill. And it’s true. You can take courses on it, read books about it, and attend training sessions that break it down into bullet points and flowcharts. There’s a whole industry built on helping people learn how to delegate the "right" way.

This month has been nothing short of amazing. You know those rare moments when everything feels like it's clicking into place? That’s where I’m at right now. New clients, new experiences, and a flurry of word-of-mouth recommendations have made it feel like the message is finally getting out there—and people are actually seeking me out. That’s surreal in the best possible way.
