Burn It All Down

Read this if you sometimes feel like throwing your business in a wood chipper, liberally sprinkling it with petrol, then setting it on fire.
P.S. Coming soon (probably June) - About Page Palooza. A four-week supported event to help you get your About Page written. Oh, and it's free.

After a shower, food and coffee, I thought I'd return to my laptop, bursting with vim and vigour eager to blast through my to-do list. I was wrong Reader I've been back home for more than 5 hours, it's 6pm, and it's time I accepted that I will be filled with...
What do you love to work on that other people would rather avoid Reader? Mr Worditude spends a huge proportion of his working day gazing at spreadsheets, and he's perfectly content (something to do with freight and accounting 🤷♀️).For me, it's sales pages. I've worked on hundreds of sales pages for clients. Long ones. Little ones. Brand new pages for freshly launched offers. Re-vamped pages for long-established bestsellers. It never gets old. I still love working on this magical...
