A couple of days ago I dashed off the world’s quickest update: Oh dearests, so much exciting stuff is coming. New and super-powerful and challenging (for me and you) and transformative (also for me and you). New packages will be happening, and my prices will be adjusted too. So if you’ve been thinking about getting…
Hey, have you heard the news?
I have a new website! It's called Cash and Joy and its mission is to increase the awesomeness of the world - of course - through glorious and meaningful marketing.
Why did I focus on marketing? Because marketing can be the most fun and meaningful activity of your business instead of the most dreaded and icky... if you do it right.

New packages will be happening, and my prices will be adjusted too. So if you’ve been thinking about getting a super-charged dose of my best insight, inspiration and clarity, you should…
Change tolerance (and why you don’t have it)
People have differing levels of pain tolerance, depending on the source of pain. We might be totally fine with getting punched in the gut, but cannot bear to be mocked. Needles are okay, but never ever ice. Feet that are almost totally insensible, but don’t touch the elbows. I think we have the same varying…
You don’t have a writing process
You have writing processes, plural. This is something I’m getting reminded of more and more as I start writing for two different websites at a time. Writing here and for the (shiny and new, have you had a look at it yet, haveyahaveyahaveya?) Cash and Joy are totally different experiences. I wrote an article for…
The new website is live!
Now as you know, I am impatient and impulsive and always running full speed at the thing I love. So although the professional (awesome) design isn’t done yet, and lots of the extra content needs to be added, here it is, dearests: Cash and Joy It’s my new darling, and the new direction for the…
Certainty and ambiguity
When you’re a beginner, you desperately crave certainty. Tab A into Slot B. First you get the power, then you get the money. The Biggest Loser creates success by removing all uncertainty in its contestants: jump on this treadmill for six hours then eat some steamed chicken breast and you will lose weight. (This is…
Pretty much everything you need to know about SEO
And now, a splendidly informative guest post by Trever! If you could spend 20 minutes right now, and then maybe an extra 30 seconds every time you wrote a blog post in order to double the traffic to your website, would you do it? Most bloggers just don’t seem to “get” Search Engine Optimization (SEO)….
Meditations on awkwardness
photo credit: qf8 Hello dearests. I’m not actually dead. I’ve just been having a lot of awkward stuff going on lately, and I don’t know about you but awkward makes me hide. So, in true Be Awesome Online fashion, let me expose all my awkwardnesses! BIG changes are coming. Really big changes. And that makes…
What’s Next?
I wanted to talk for a moment about something that’s been keeping me sane over the last few years, especially in high-stress times. But first of all, I’d like to tell you a tale to illustrate how much of a muppet I am. I had the fantastic experience of travelling to Seattle a few months…
Just ask.
My sister-in-law has a saying, “shy bairns get nowt”. For those of you not fluent in the Yorkshire dialect, this translates as ‘shy children get nothing’. In other words, ‘if you don’t ask, you won’t get’. For the last three and half years, I’ve been blogging regularly over on my site. I’ve never been a…
