I know it’s Bank Holiday Monday today, but I’m asking you to look ahead to the next one in our year. That’s not until the end of August! August 27th to be exact. Summer is on the way. Making family memories, enjoying time off and that last bit of sunshine before the Autumn sounds fantastic. …
I recently lost a client. It so happens whenever I gain or lose a client I tend to get the opposite happening pretty much at the same time, which is good I suppose, it’s a replacement, or frees up space for the new work coming in. However, it’s very disheartening. I love talking about money …
Bare with me, I’m not sure where this post is really going… The world moves at a quick speed. Business is now 24 hours a day, we are bombarded with news, information and updates all the time, wherever we are. However, to survive in this world, we must move with it. We must adapt ourselves …

Some of my posts have been shared far and wide and I’ve loved getting messages from people saying I’ve helped them. There will be lots more content posted twice a …

Winter is upon us and it’s pretty flippin’ chilly, even indoors. Is just whacking up the heating really the best way to stay warm? Obviously, it will cost you. The more your heating is on, the higher it is set, the more you’re likely to be paying. Put a jumper on. It’s standard stuff really, but …
