Ryan Jones lives in Colorado, USA. He doesn’t yet know that I exist or that I’m about to give him $97. I live in Cambridge, England. I have a piano but was frustrated I couldn’t make progress with sheet music. Then I discovered Ryan’s awesome business Play Piano King and now feel enthusiastic about tinkling [...] The phone call came at 2 o’clock this morning. A friend nearby has been feeling sick and she finally decided to call me, nervous that she might collapse in the night. I went round, stroked her hair, made sure she could sleep safely through till morning. A few hours after publishing the latest blog post, [...] Self-employment means you get paid independently – hopefully many times over. There’s a special moment where you lose your Getting Paid virginity. Someone says you’re just what they’ve been looking for; they want you, they need you… YES! You enjoy the delirious satisfaction of that first incoming financial transaction, that warm after-glow, staring in awe [...] I messed up last night’s public call.

She wrote: “I’m struggling with how to advertise and promote myself without having to spend a fortune in the process. Any help you can give me is appreciated.” It may well be that you’ve been asking [...] If you’re anything like me, the start of September is exciting… and a little daunting. It holds the same ‘fresh start’ energy as January, making it a prime recipient for a whole bundle of your good intentions. “Get the website done”, “create a Facebook page”, “go to more networking events”, “declutter the filing cabinet”. It [...] It’s totally weak to get support, right? You’ve found your passion. You want to follow your heart, make a difference, share your gifts… … and that means it’s time to knuckle down and figure everything out by yourself. Does that feel true for you? If so, then you’re a lot like the women I’ve been [...] |
