One Of Those Days 

One of those days. We all have them.

The days where it seems impossible to do anything, get going in anyway possible. 

Your heart is heavy and you just have so much to do, you want to do nothing. 

But you are your business...

If you don't do anything then nothing will be done and your momentum will diminish...

OR WILL IT?

Listen up, I know it can feel tough and lonely and all just too much. I have been there. I still go there at times. In fact I was there just 10 minutes ago. 

Then I remembered one of my techniques for taking action... you are reading it. 

Being an introvert, getting stuck in my head can be one of the hardest struggles to get past. But writing helps me get out of my head and to get moving. In fact now, just a few minutes into writing this post the fog is already lifting inside.

I feel empowered as I am taking action right now - reaching out and connecting with you, my dear readers. 

Blog posts are all about sharing our journey, helping others in a real way, when we can share how we got to where we are at, we build trust, as no-one gets overnight success. 

There is always a journey, a story, involved in our path as to why we are doing what we do and why, and the obstacles we have faced along the way. 

Oh yes, obstacles and failures are part of any journey to success.

You only have to read a handful of biographies from entrepreneurs who have made it big-time to see that they became bankrupt and failed big time before they hit upon the idea that made them millions. 

But you are probably like me, a bit risk-averse, and are not looking to be a billionaire... but would love to not worry about where the next penny is coming from, or about how you will pay for your retirement, where you dream of travelling and experiencing different lands... 

We are a heart-centred, creative solopreneurs who love to support others and put all our energy into this. When we connect, it is 100% connection. We listen deeply, empathise with the struggles and come up with personalised solutions. We give our all to the clients we support. 

But to do this we need to get clever with our energy, take action in the right way, at the right times, in the right order. 

Trying to do everything at once leaves us feeling overwhelmed and disheartened that we can EVER grow our business to the point that we no longer worry about the next sale... 

But it doesn't have to be hard. 

Using the techniques and routines I share inside the Introvert Business Booster, you can discover the art of taking action online.

I am not against online summits. I am against poorly designed ones. In 2026, a summit is not a content library or a visibility stunt. It is a designed experience.

Teaching vs Transformation: Why Framework Thinking® Creates Lasting Authority

Christophe Stourton’s feedback after the Long Lasting Authority Think Tank Summit caught my attention for one reason. He wrote, “event seems too small a word.” That line stopped me, because it named something I’d been sensing: we weren’t running an “event.” We were designing a transformational architecture.And that distinction matters. Teaching gives people information. Transformation changes
