The Cold Shower – a business analogy
I’ve stepped up the training this week and made my long-awaited return to the gym. It’s always the same in that the hardest thing is getting packed up and physically getting there! Following the session, it’s off to the changing rooms for a sauna and then the...
Are you spending your time with Positive People?
Our attitudes and outlooks tend to mirror the average of the five people we spend the most time with. It is therefore crucial we choose our colleagues carefully in order to achieve a positive mind set. For the self-employed or entrepreneur this is a relatively easy...
Not enough time, or is it a question of priority?
I’ve been moving through the gears in my network marketing business and following my most recent promotion it was a good moment to reflect on my progress. This type of business project is often introduced as a part-time gig or a way to supplement a full-time income. A...
Treat others as if your livelihood depends on it
One change I’ve noticed since running my own business is how I interact with the local community and the people around me. This is true with my on-line community and in ‘real life’ scenarios. A friend of mine said that the best thing about working for yourself is...
Gadget Club progress report – life is good!
It’s unbelievable that I am already well into my second year of trading as Gadget Club. Running a business has been an incredible ride so far and I am undoubtedly an entirely different (better) person. I have regained my family time and balance while progressing to a...
Your mobile university – are you using it?
Everything changed for me years ago when I was introduced to personal development tapes and CDs that could be played in the car or on public transport. Some of the most successful business people in the world were recording their strategies in a way that could easily...

UWTV – When you go on-line have a plan!
WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON? 1) I’ve renamed and changed my Facebook group to focus documenting my Utility Warehouse business; 2) This group could help you save money, make money or both! The group was lying a little dormant so I needed to shake things up. There are nearly...
Mastermind alliance …
I attended a group meeting this morning focused around self development, sharing tips and experiences to help entrepreneurs build their business. There is so much content available these days and the meeting was a ‘greatest hits’ of all the best paths to follow for...
Thinking of the retailers …
I saw an article yesterday citing a member of the clergy (can’t remember who) who was championing the general public taking one day per week to switch off their mobile phones and take a break from technology. It was an interesting read and there is definitely some...
I love go-live day …
A skip and a jump out of bed this morning, as it’s switch on day for Fibre broadband for one of my lovely customers. We all take internet for granted at times but moving to faster speeds from a standard connection really opens up the possibilities and improves...
Energy Price Cap – that didn’t last long …
It’s been a hectic morning running around; once we settle into the rhythm of the day and breakfast is served, for my sins I give BBC News a chance to provide the headlines. They have a curious, mild obsession with energy prices and switching which appears to be on...
Meeting Barbara …
Non-tech related blog but hopeful may raise a smile today. After an unfortunate turn of events that landed my Mum in hospital yesterday evening there was plenty of good to come out of the situation. My Mum has recently been diagnosed with Motor Neurone, a particularly...
Three tips to improve your WiFi connection
Internet providers love to over-egg their top speeds when advertising. In the real world, once ethernet wired connections are removed and other factors considered, the achievable speed is nothing like that promised and can leave us a little underwhelmed. The good news...
Goodbye MacBook … Hello Chrome
Well today's the day I put my money where my mouth is and end a ten year love in with Apple and their computing range. I will be picking up my shiny new Google PixelBook from the store - and I can't wait! The PixelBook is a thing of beauty in it's ultra thin, light...

Unless you are living in a field miles from the nearest exchange the days of 'buffering' for Most (sorry those that live remotely!) are pretty much over. Every day streaming of Catch Up TV or online movie services becomes more common therefore so is the recognition of...
