Saying thank you to Danny

Today’s post is a bit different.

Before I go any further with this series, I need to stop and give credit where it’s massively due.

*None of this would have happened without my friend Danny McMillan.

In December last year Danny ran a course. I went along. It was technical, it was mind-blowing, and honestly a lot of it went over my head 😂

But what I saw was what was possible. And once you’ve seen that, you can’t unsee it.
That was the spark.

I’m not a coder. I’m not even close 😂😂

But I am a problem solver.

I don’t look at a wall and think about how to get through it. I think about how to get round it, under it, over it, or find a completely different route entirely.

So I took what Danny showed me, and I made it work for my brain.

What followed was about three weeks of near-total hyperfocus. Late nights. Very late nights. A few 4am finishes.

My partnered barely saw me. My body is not thrilled with me. Classic ADHD superpowers, deployed aggressively. I’m bloody knackered!! 💤

But today I’m writing this from the European Seller Conference (I highly recommend it by the way - it's an annual highlight of Amazon seller events)
And for the first time in longer than I can remember, I have actually switched off.

Because before I left, I set the team up with systems, SOPs, task management, and a version of Claude that works the way I work. They don’t need me to explain everything anymore. It’s all there.

I picked up my phone this morning and instead of a list of questions, there was nothing that needed me urgently.

That has never happened before.

Danny, this one’s for you 😘😘
