How Can I Make This Work for Me? The Question That Built a Business
Linda BinnsWhen I created this interview series, I wanted to go beneath the success. Not the strategies, or the credentials — the real human story. The moments that actually shaped someone. The decisions made not from confidence, but from necessity. The places where a person had to choose themselves, even when that felt terrifying. My conversation with Dottie Scott gave me all of that. Dottie is the founder of Premium Websites and the Ask Dottie series — a web designer, speaker, trainer, and best-selling author who has spent nearly two decades helping small business owners claim their space online. She’s known for making the complex world of digital marketing feel accessible, even joyful. But before all of that, there was a young woman who didn’t know the word introvert existed. Who had a camera and a dream that didn’t quite fit. Who ended up building something from nothing — not because she had a grand plan, but because she had no other direction to go.
