Achieving the balance in business
Today we welcome back Malcolm Owens to Small Business Owner…
Working in small business can lead to feeling apart from the wider world. Time and achievement demands weigh heavily. Always frantic, balancing current workloads with the flow of new business, time at work and home. Never relaxing, always busy, trying to get ahead. A [...]
In camera
The Force is strong with this one.
Rather less with this one.
Speaking of cameras, we should close the loop on our phone vs camera debate.
Thanks to your generous advice, a bit of soul searching and two omens, I was able to choose.
I bought a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 (DMC-ZS7) and a Nokia 1616.
Here’s why.

Go the guts
Do you feel and follow your instincts?
It’s cold, dark and raining. You’re tired, hungry and far from home.

Now, while the Voice of Reason was happy to share her thoughts on life at Empire House, she wanted the Senior Writer [...]
Plan B
I usually spend hours perfecting these blog posts, but today I’m not feeling at all well*. I’ve also got some crushing work deadlines.
