Can you believe I’ve been writing this blog for over a year now. With 2023 fast approaching I thought it worthwhile to do a short retrospective around tomwatkin.com and the journey so far.
Work winning doesn’t require sales.
It’s been an eventful year with the successful launch of my book and increasing engagement with my blog and other content. I’ve engaged a small number of coaching clients who I am helping grow their revenues in a systematic way. I’ve also talked about my book and business development to a number of companies and organizations. Additionally, I’ve made some great connections with business authors and business development thinkers across the globe.
It’s been a fun year and the tomwatkin.com ecosystem is beginning to pull together.
