The Olympic story I reluctantly shared

I wanted to share a story that’s close to my heart.

You may know that I’m a water polo player and I went to the Athens Olympics in 2004 but it’s not something that I’ve written about much. Why? I’ve told myself over the years that it doesn’t always tie into web marketing and so I’ve avoided it. Also I’ve been afraid that it might be misconstrued as blowing my own trumpet so I’ve been reluctant to share my stories.

But when Kevin Kruse, a NYT best selling author, reached out to me in April to ask for my best time management/productivity tip as an Olympian and entrepreneur, I realised it was an incredible opportunity to share my experience.…

Ouch… my first copywriting shocker!

Click to tweet >>

Confession time.

I remember my first Bluewire News vividly — for all the wrong reasons.

It’s Saturday afternoon in Brisbane and I’m nervous as anything. The email is written, designed and coded. It looks good too (at least by 2005 standards!)
