4 years in business didn’t happen by accident. It’s taken late nights, hard work, lots of juggling and quite a bit of pushing out of my comfort zone.

But here I am, 4 years later, still going! Still juggling, still trying new things, still excited for the future.

🎂 To celebrate 4 years of Cultivating Creative, check out the giveaway post on my grid and be in with a chance of winning a free website audit for your small business or charity.

🌼And don’t forget to follow for real life small business content and marketing & web design support.

My advice for making your small business or charity website so much more effective is:

Open your homepage and ask yourself whether a visitor can find your key information within 5 seconds?

They need to know:
🌻 Who do you help?
🌻 What do you offer?
🌻 What’s the next step?

Think carefully about the answers to these questions and make sure they’re the first thing you see on your homepage.

If you’d like some help to get the best out of your website, check out my free giveaway.

✨What a year 2025 has been! ✨

At the start of the year I launched the Cultivating Creative Podcast, interviewed some amazing guests and supported loads of brilliant small businesses.

I’ve worked with some fantastic clients and had my busiest year yet creating websites, developing promotions and running social accounts. On top of that, I launched my introduction to SEO training and started a networking group for small business owners.

I have some exciting plans for 2026 so watch this space!

This week I led a small business co-working session. It was the reminder I needed that being around other business owners lifts my mood, boosts my focus, and helps me feel less isolated.

Sharing advice or just understanding what others are experiencing makes a huge difference and is way more fun than working alone!

I’ve shared more about the mental health benefits of connection in today’s newsletter. My newsletter offer nuggets of advice for small business owners every few weeks.

As small business owners we can be our own worst enemy! Hands up if you’ve ever held back from promoting something you do because of a lack of confidence ✋

A conversation with a client recently got me thinking about how we can increase our confidence as small business owners. I’ve found that it’s so much easier to spot when someone else is doing something amazing than it is to recognise it ourselves.

✨ So here’s my challenge! Who could you encourage today? One little compliment can make such a difference to a small business owner.

So, what are you waiting for?!
