I’m starting a new little side business venture and once again am reminded that there is no place for someone like me in a regular business world.
I’ve decided to help solo and small businesses with digital and social media. It’s a good idea, a good fit for me.

This happened last week:
My writer friend: “I know I have to do more social media, I just don’t know where to start.”
My husband: “Diane can help you with that. She’s written a guide book and is ready to take on some clients.”
My writer friend: “Really? Diane, that’s great!”
Me: “Wellll . . . I don’t know. It’s not really a guide book. I mean other people can do a much better job than me. I don’t know anything about analytics. Or the law. But I won’t charge much.
