It Is Time To Tell Imposter Syndrome Where To Go
There are so many talented and incredible people, despite all the hurdles and challenges the world throws, continue to show up, serve, deliver and be the best they can be.
When you look back over your successes and achievements for the year, do you still feel like a loser?
Or feel that someone will pop out from behind a bush and shout ‘what do you know? ‘Who are you to do what you do?’
These feelings leave you feeling like your web of lies will untangle, revealing you as the imposter you are?
You are not alone. The highest achievers feel like that every day.
Why Hiring an Award Writing Specialist Isn’t Cheating—It’s a Smart Move
When the topic of hiring an award writing specialist comes up, some think it’s cheating or disingenuous.

The day my life took a swerve: How I got into small business
I thought it was another busy day. Pumping out stories, dealing with the media and juggling the personalities of the senior execs.

Want to know why no one is engaging with your content?
Information overload is the norm. Every day, people are hit with over 2 million bits of information per second, including 73GB of content.

The Hansel and Gretel Approach To Building Your Profile
Followers. Engagement. Influencers. Hits. Analytics. All very important when it comes to building a profile online. But it is easy to get so fixated on these metrics that you forget about the good old fashioned approach to getting business and that is through connection, giving great value and building relationships.
Influencer vs Influential
When my son was at that age when adults asked ‘what are you going to be when you grow up,’ he told me he wanted to be a Twitch star. I will admit to being completely in the dark about what that meant, but as I listened to his explanation, I was gobsmacked people got paid because others are happy to stare at their screen as they built a Minecraft world or did a dance routine. It was here I first heard the term ‘influencer’.
Awards are like Breadcrumbs Building your Authority
With so many things on the small business owner’s plate, adding business awards may seem like one bridge too many to cross. But (there’s always a but) entering awards is not just about YOU and what YOU have done, awards are a tool that builds connection, relationships and credibility in the minds of the people who are looking for businesses to work with.
