Things are changing

I can feel life starting to pick up a bit, especially for my kids. My son is spending a week with a company deciding if he wants to join them on an apprenticeship and his rugby training has started up again... although no contact. I've just dropped my daughter off at the park to meet a few friends, I'm so happy for her to get out a bit, be with friends to chat like teenagers do. I've got on fine with my morning but now waiting for various people to get back to me, hence time to write my blog. Several...

Time, being helpful, offering advice - but don't be a fool

I didn't need to read loads of books by famous people in business to be told how to treat people, I've always done the odd job either for free or in return for something else or trade or even just because I knew the person needed my help and if they didn't get that help they couldn't move on and seize an opportunity. Somethings are also down to time, at that time that person might really need you and in months or years to come, they may return the favour. To a point! none of us want to be used or...

Grated cheese

That's what I've dropped on my desk and on the floor! I really shouldn't eat my lunch at my desk. It's quietly peaceful today, getting on with a current Shopify site which will hopefully go live early next week, quoting on a second one for a Leicestershire based engineering firm and designing a range of possible social media posts for another client. My daughter has got to grips with her new learning book from school and I'm pleased her online classes now last till 1/2pm and not just the 2 hours of work she was doing. My son is having...

Groundhog day

It is starting to feel a bit like groundhog day. It has taken me several months so I guess I'm lagging behind the majority of the population. But now I do feel a sense of 'being stuck at home' working everyday with the relentless cooking, cleaning and picking up coupled with the thought of not going anywhere. My work has kept me occupied and the work we are doing in our garden has given the family a project to focus on, but I now feel after all these weeks, finally its starting to get to me a bit. My dog walks...

The new everyday normal

It's Monday, I'm at my desk, I sat down at about 8.30 this morning and it's been a full on morning. Very excited to be working with a new client, someone I've known for years but contacted me out of the blue. He like many business owners are starting to realise it might be some time before they visit clients again or work in other offices so he needs an online identity for Linkedin and Twitter and a website, a clean simple easy to navigate site to refer potential prospects to. He has no real branding or corporate id in place...
