Sep 28 2011 Price vs. Value – I’ve mentioned it before. So, is the cheapest always the best? For some things, yes. But in general, the answer is… ‘maybe’! You need to ask yourself “Does a high initial price hide the long term higher value?” Example – a simple halogen GU10 spotlight bulb – I’m sure you’ve all got [...] Sep 14 2011 Oscar Wilde’s play on words for the title of one of his most famous writings really puts the subject of today’s blog in a nutshell… I like to think I’m trustworthy. I’m well-known for it and generally people (and in particular my clients) say they like the fact that they know [...] May 18 2011 Except Bank Holiday ones! But even with the recent run of Bank Holidays I found myself catching up on jobs that needed doing rather than doing stuff I wanted to do, all because I hadn’t had time to do them during the week… Everyone has something they don’t like doing, for whatever reason.

There is no denying that it’s a powerful thing… But it is powerful enough to save me a big bill from an Estate Agent? I used to be [...] Jan 18 2011 As you may know, 4Networking.biz is my personal favourite for Business Networking. Recently I listened to a presentation by Adrian Reynolds from a copywriting business called Millionth Monkey. The subject was “Adding 5%” and it was one of the most thought-provoking 4sights I have ever heard – I’ll try to do the concept justice… We’ve [...] Nov 29 2010 Not OUR business – we’re as busy as ever because even though Minky’s Village looks like it should be a venue for the Winter Olympics he can do the majority of his work anywhere!
