I taught myself HTML coding and built my first business website twenty years ago. It took me two months! Since then, I’ve worked across a number of different businesses, big and small: merchant banking, investment, insurance, energy, regulation and change management, across London, Sydney and New Zealand. Add to that café ownership, building two small businesses, writing a book and now being a proud director of a yoga retreat.

 

Yoga has become an important part of my life. What you learn about life off the mat is just as important as the physical movements. I love this quote by B.K.S. Iyengar: “Yoga does not just change the way you see things, it transforms the person who sees.” There are so many things yoga can teach us about life and business.

 

Starting a new business can be challenging, but creating a website doesn’t need to be. The emergence of some extremely good website builders has solved many of the challenges I faced twenty years ago. Having a business background helps, because it’s not the technology that takes the time—it’s the front end. The visual bit that customers see, where you can simply, professionally and creatively tell your own important story.

 

I have very deliberately kept my pricing affordable. That’s a personal choice, guided by my motivation to give back to a world that has given me so much. By helping other people—new start-ups and not-for-profits needing a genuine helping hand—I can put that motivation into practice. For me, it’s the ultimate expression of abundance. I look forward to working with you.
