A year ago, I found a business partner and an investor but four weeks later the doctor told me to stop now or discuss chemo in 12 months. I let go of the staff and informed my partner and investor, and was forced to spend the next six months in bed. Now I’m back at the starting line a year later – three months into the launch - and we are doing exactly what we set out to do: transform businesses with marketing departments of one.
We have 12 clients and counting. Our clients describe us as: the best six weeks their business ever had; the clarity (and kick) they needed to deliberately grow their business; and the small business game changer who makes challenging the status quo easy and profitable.
Despite using up all my savings and living on a pittance while we get going, I have stayed the course – and my partner and investor has too. They deserve a place in your showcase for putting parts of their lives on hold while I deal with life’s waves, because of their commitment to helping business owners doing some good in this world, to expand their work.
