Simon’s maker story 🎢

“For the better part of 20 years I’ve been building other people’s businesses, helping them fulfil their dreams… it’s about time I chased some of my own!

I really get to know each and every customer and subscriber. I want to know their problems, their successes, I want to feel their passion. When I understand _why_ they’re doing what they’re doing, it gives me such a buzz – my mind just starts popping with ideas of how to help them grow their business. And I don’t hold back – if I can share something that will make a difference, I’ll do it, I don’t want to keep that sort of knowledge and experience trapped and make people pay exorbitant prices for it.

I think the biggest obstacle I’ve personally faced is how to get things off the ground when you’ve got little or no capital to spend/survive on while you’re building. These days it’s a super crowded space and you really have to work hard to stand out. It’s never as simple as ‘build it and they will come’ – but it’s a lot harder than you anticipate. It’s also not enough to get that first set of customers – you have to keep on filling that funnel, and it gets harder over time.

I think humans are inherently lazy creatures – we tend towards complacency, so when something’s working, we settle into a comfort zone. But the different industries and markets are all moving so fast these days, you can’t stand still as that’s basically the same as going backwards.“
