Creating a wall of love on your own website is one of the easiest (and most ethical) ways to gently encourage other folks who love your work (your clients, your customers, your extended community of fans/friends/followers/ on social media) to share their own enthusiastic endorsement of your business...
so however behind you feel - however slow your start - this is your life - and this is the only moment that matters. Wherever you've been - just begin. Again.
make them count. how easy is it to become lost in thought - to lose the plot - to ruminate and preseverate and to totally forget that we are always on the clock - tick tock - and every minute on tik tock is a tock of the clock we'll never get back. This is your life. Live it well.
It's easy. There are no secrets. There are no shortcuts. There are no gurus or gimmicks or goofy ideas that will make it easier, or more expeditious. Do the work. Bonus points if you love the work. Double down on the journey - not the destination - and you will never lack for reasons to show up.
