You are not who you think you are

My passion is helping business owners and marketing professionals discover better ways to attract clients and grow their businesses.
You’re not a programmer. You just type things into a computer hoping it does what you want.
You’re not a designer. You just design things. Which sometimes means pushing pixels around a screen until they look pretty enough.
You’re not a creative. You just create stuff. Or, probably, you steal ideas from different places and mix them together until nobody notices.
You’re not a multi-disciplinary anything. You just do a lot of things.
You’re not an entrepreneur or a founder. You just started a company. And you’re not a business owner. You just own a business.
You’re not a CEO. Or a C-anything-O. That’s just a title for what you do at your job.
You are not your job title.
You’re not a father or a mother. You just created or are in charge of a little human being.
You’re not a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife. You just chose to spend some of your time on this planet with another person.
