New Year, New You

What has 2021 got in store.
What will change, however, is me.
2020 has been a tough year for me, mentally speaking. It has been a roller coaster of depression, despair, anger and a general feeling of "what is the point?" With a lot of expletives and mini-meltdowns thrown in for good measure. I am so lucky my other half has kept a supply of emergency chocolate for such incidents.
I have however, been very lucky that Popple Services has been growing for the past year and I am truly thankful to all my clients, old and new who have helped me on this journey. I am so grateful that my business has survived when so many have failed.
In 2021 I want to continue to grow, both as a business and as a person and I intend to start the year with a positive mind-set. Obviously, that is a lot easier said than done and especially considering that we have no idea what 2021 has in store.
But if it's the zombie apocalypse I am so ready for it!
As for Popple Services, in 2020 I introduced an author mentoring programme and I have found it truly inspiring. I want to work with a lot more authors in 2021 as it is wonderful seeing the books as they emerge from someone's mind into a manuscript, as well as watching confidence grow as proposals are sent to publishers!
I also look forward to continuing to work with my current clients on their blog posts and websites and am really excited to see what new clients are going to introduce themselves to me this year.
