For those of you who may have missed me, please accept my apologies for having neglected my blog for so long, . The thrill of operating your own business comes complete with the opportunity cost of having to keep your nose to the grindstone, at times.

There are some clients whose expressions of gratitude almost makes you feel guilty about getting paid for the job. I have recently had that experience.

Here is a quote from a rave that one of my clients just wrote on their blog, about the service they received from me:

If you are blogger, you know that your site is not unlike your child. And when your child is sick, you tend to stop functioning. You want answers. You want certainty. You want experts. And we got absolutely none of that from our hosting provider Network Solutions. From Network Solutions we got ticket numbers, escalation promises, and false assurances. So we panicked and called in the real expert.

Virtually Marj. WordPress developer extraordinaire.

We love Virtually Marj for the following reasons:

She knows her stuff

She delivers exactly what she promises on time.

She is a human being.

I swear that I blushed when I read what they wrote. If you want to see this post on their site, visit MothersofBrothers.

Even though their praise is directed at me, the three things that they noted are essential to anyone’s success in business so it bears repeating.

If you don’t pretend to be good at something that you aren’t, are clear about deliverables and time frames, and remember to be yourself, you have a recipe for success.
