Boss of Busy, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgements

Cliché's like ‘it takes a village' exist because it reflects the truth that a book like this doesn't come together without a significant tribe of people sitting, pushing and driving the project to come to life. The champions, challengers and cheer-squad who sit firmly in my corner are extensive and I'm blown away and grateful for every single one of them, those acknowledged here and those I've missed and who I'm just as grateful for having in my life.

This book moved beyond being simply a model and an idea when Kirsty Mitchell grabbed my shoulders, shook me a little and exclaimed, ‘you've got to write the book'. Thanks for the not so subtle prod Kirsty, and for your unwavering support of all that I and our team do. The coalition of the awesome have a world to go and shake up, thanks for being one of the drivers.

Lucy Raymond, thank you once again for taking a chance on this idea, and for believing in the concept not only for book shelves, but also for your own world. Thank you to the team at Wiley for your hard work to bring this book to life, and to the beautiful Charlotte Duff who made the editing stage not only painless, but actually enjoyable. Your words of encouragement were my elixir.

The majority of this book was written in the early hours of the morning while I took up a booth at our local café, Good Day Coffee. To DJ, Ebony and the team, thanks for letting the weird girl in the corner tap away in your space while you kept the almond latte's flowing. ...
