I've got fun stuff for you, come play!

Hello there!

As I zoom into Mailchimp and dash out this email, I feel like the house is being lifted off the stumps.

So if the next thing you hear from me is a news report that my beloved Labrador and I have gone all Dorothy and Toto on you, you'll know why.

Anyway, I have a few fun things for you- check them out!

Be clever clogs

I've started sharing what I have learnt (often the hard way) with people. It's a combination of ye olde book learnin' and some of that class room style stuff.

You can get a taste of what I mean if you email me and request a free copy of my content eBook.

You can also check out my latest adventure, hacking happiness at the Changemakers festival

Or you can come out with a sparkly brain when you listen to 3 freelancing gals who know their stuff teach you blogging for business.

Oh, and I'm pulling together a nifty lil pop-up school next year for startup, freelance and biz. If you want details, flick me an email.
