Before the pandemic made us change all of our habits, I used to meet with my friends in a nice cafe -one of the few places where I could find gluten-free cakes.
I remember one day. Me, taking a sip of my green tea, and her sharing some story about her son, when suddenly I stopped hearing her voice in mid-sentence.
This article is a bit of a rant.
I’ve been ruminating about this topic for weeks, and I have to admit I’m a bit hesitant about sharing it with you.
Yes, I know.
I’m all about authenticity and telling things as they are, but the current situation is pushing my buttons so much…
…that I’m even rethinking the nature of my work.

We’re getting into week number eight of our lockdown here in Madrid.
Experts are beginning to worry about the psychological consequences of this confinement.
So for the first time in eight weeks, adults are allowed to go for a walk…
… as long as we keep social distancing rules, it’s shorter than an hour, and we don’t go farther than a kilometer away from our house.

Because if not, then nobody will be able to understand what it is that you do.
People won’t come asking for your help if you don’t have that bedrock, that great foundation of a clear marketing message in your business.
