April 14, 2020

We are being asked a lot how Covid-19 is affecting our business. What all of this means for our little Company of One, what we are doing with all our “extra time” and are we worried about what the future holds?

WE’VE GOT OUR PRIORITIES IN THE WRONG ORDER.

December 4, 2019

The end of the year is a time rife with clashing commitments. Kids school plays, conflicting Christmas parties, deadlines that all fall on the same date and simply cannot be met in the time allocated.
