Just do it. My attitude has always been that if it doesn't work out, you can do something else! No one has it all sussed, we're all on a learning curve.
Your elevator pitch (AKA - what do you do?)
We are the non-agency digital agency based in Trafford. We're WordPress experts, who design, build and maintain websites. We're also experts in SEO and digital marketing. We offer our clients a wide range of services which mean they can pick the service they want to fit their budget. We're also a small business too, so we understand that sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done!
Your must-have app for business
Asana - with two of us working on projects, we'd be lost without it!
Top productivity tip
Use a productivity tool like Asana, it helps us keep in control of what we need to do, and when. We make sure any email that comes in with actions on it, are translated straight to tasks on Asana.
The best and hardest thing about being a business owner
Best: Being able to meet lots of wonderful people. I've met so many fabulous people and learnt so much. It's what keeps me going!
Hardest: Sometimes it can be hard to remember that you're not alone. Lots of other business owners feel the same as you do and struggle with the same things. Surely everyone hates doing their accounts?
Your wisest words of encouragement for anyone thinking about self-employment?
Just do it. My attitude has always been that if it doesn't work out, you can do something else! No one has it all sussed, we're all on a learning curve.
