Every time we sit down with a small business owner, the conversation eventually drifts to the same place: why does no one talk about the real stuff?

The late nights. The endless decisions. The fact that sometimes running a business feels more like spinning plates and a brain filled with monkeys and symbols than building an empire.

That’s why we started The Hotdesk.digital. Think of it like the desk you crash at when you need to get work done… The smell of strong coffee, no fancy boardroom, no pretence, just straight talk and a community of people who get it.

The Reality of Entrepreneurship

What you’ll find here

This isn’t another “10 tips to success” blog. The Hotdesk is for the messy middle of business. The bit between the unhinged Instagram stories, Instagram highlights and the LinkedIn “humble”brags.

Here you’ll find:

  • Opinion pieces that don’t tiptoe around tough topics

  • Honest stories of wins and hurdles

  • Practical insights you can actually use, not just pin to a vision board

  • The occasional spicy take designed to get people talking

Why it matters

Small business owners carry a lot—responsibility, risk, reputation. And sometimes it feels like no one is saying out loud what we’re all thinking. This space is for those conversations.

Pull up a chair

So, welcome. Make yourself at home at The Hotdesk.digital. Read, share, argue, agree. Whatever you do, just don’t sit quietly in the corner. Business is better when we actually talk about it.
