Many, MANY years ago… Back when I was fresh out of school, and in desperate need of some beer money… I briefly had a holiday job in a local warehouse. All through the day, trucks arrived to unload goods at the back, while other tucks took out goods from the front.  I...

I recently wrote about why NOW is the best time to start a home business. I finished my newsletter with a request. “If you have obstacles that are stopping you – or worries you cannot get your head around – then let me know what they are.” And it really seemed to...

Did you see the reality show Traitors? Or were you one of the millions who watched Mr Bates vs. The Post Office? These were hugely popular recent TV events on network television that created what are known as ‘watercooler moments’. Both shows were talked about…...
