I’m practically a Jackie Chan. I do my own stunts.

I also do my own photography, my own marketing, my own library donations, and my own coffee spills, which if you look closely at the promotional photo for Parenting Unpacked, you will notice are very much included at no extra charge.

That is the promotional image. The one I took myself. On my dinning table. With a glass of weak coffee that looks like tea that had been sitting there and two biscuits I placed artfully, which is a generous word for what I did.

Now. The woman who told me I was not a marketer. If you are reading this, I want you to know I have been thinking about your feedback. I have a diploma in marketing. A degree in marketing. A postgraduate qualification in digital marketing. Seven years of corporate marketing experience.

You might have had a point.

Still pretty proud of it though.

Not too bad for a first timer.
