I am now into my 10^th year of being my own boss. How did that happen? Here’s a look back at my achievements (and random copywriting themes) from the last 12 months.

Eight years is a long time, but it doesn’t feel like a long haul to me. I still feel the same challenge, excitement and achievement. Let’s take a look at some significant moments.

It’s squeaky bum time! Today I am listening to recordings of four client interviews to create case studies. As a copywriter, I do this all the time without batting an eyelid, but today feels very different.

With a shimmy, hurrah and a flourish it’s time to celebrate seven (you read it right, seven!) years of digital copywriting and blogging.

Celebrating success is something we should all do more often. When we achieve success as a small business owner, we tend to swiftly move on to the next job and forget all the good stuff that’s just happened.

I’ve been running my own business for 5 years - that’s longer than I’ve ever been employed. Today I'm saying a big ‘Yee Hah’ to running your own business!

Testimonials are like gold dust. These snippets of success not only prove that you can do what you say, they’re also valuable content to use across all your communications.

Case studies are valuable content to have on your website or as a pdf to send to potential clients. This post outlines the key benefits and how to structure and write a case study.

It’s become tradition at this time of year to reflect on the highs and the lows of the last 12 months. Four years have passed at the speed of light!

Sometimes you need to ask for help to solve a problem. But some of us are reluctant to admit that we need it. If you can start a business, surely you can solve anything that comes our way, right?

When is a start-up no longer a start-up? Here’s to celebrating three years of Comma Sense, lessons learned and highlights achieved. Drum roll please…

I stopped working with a long-term client. We’d been working together for 18 months; I’d been writing their blog posts and monthly newsletter.

It’s 5am at Liverpool Airport on a dark, rainy October morning. We’re waiting for our flight to Portugal and I make a new friend. She was around eight or nine years old.

I always shop around to find the perfect birthday card. If I can’t find it in the shops, I’ll revert to a trusty online shop that usually comes up with the goods.

Can you see a time when bloggers will be redundant and computers rule the blogosphere, or are real-life human bloggers here to stay?

I’m so proud of everything I’ve achieved over the last 12 months, so thought I’d review the year and share some of my achievements with a numerical blog post.

I’ve heard lots of motivational speakers during my career and the people who stand out for me all do one specific thing - they tell stories.
