Why I suspect (sorry!) that you aren’t very good at DIY!

I don’t mean that I doubt your ability to put up a shelf, build a flatpack or repair a garden fence.

Instead, I’m afraid I’m doubting your ability to create compelling marketing materials.

In this era of fancy and user friendly apps and during a time when money is tight for almost all of us, it’s very tempting to have a go at DIY and tackle things that are outside of our skill set in order to save money and to ‘make life easier’.

I know this only too well – this year, with Monty still off work and being conscious of expenses, I thought I could have a go at doing the tax return myself in order to save some money.  I managed it – but not without a serious amount of stress and, I firmly suspect, some errors. I just hope that they don’t come back to bite me.

I also know what it’s like to try other things myself and not manage to do them as well as the experts.

Our amazing designer, John, was on holiday at the end of May when I decided that I needed a placard for a project we were doing at the Royal Highland Show.

No bother, I thought to myself, I’ll just go on Canva and create one myself. Ha, ha, blooming ha.

Have a look at my terrible effort next to the one that John created when he returned from holiday. I think the side by side says it all really!

Sometimes, if you need a new website, new branding, a compelling piece of copy or even a podcast, chances are the experts can do it better.  And, from now on, when I need anything financial, I’m going to speak to my new accountant!
