On a more personal note...
On September 1st, 2009, I received a Stage 4 Cancer diagnosis. Nine days later, in incredible pain, a client I'd been working with only a few months arrived unannounced at my hospital room, told me to lay still and be quiet. He put his hand on my shoulder and told me he was going to give me energy...
...forward to today, energised, focussed and determined not to waste any opportunity (mine or yours or the gift I'd received), I've since:
- Won my battle with cancer
- Taken up kayaking (open invite to anyone who wants to go out for a paddle with me)
- Embraced a love for photography: macro, nature, animals... (check out my galleries)
- Obtained an honours distinction in inbound marketing
- Spent $20 (+$50 promo from Google) on an AdWords campaign and earned roughly $12,000
- Expanded my creative firm's business in the middle of a global downturn
- Launched my second company – Kayak Online Marketing – taking the firm from virtual unknown to online marketing industry-leader in under a year
What's next? Maybe that's something we can explore together. Let's connect at 403-228-2525 or kayakonlinemarketing.com
