No Oscars For Me Then (From A Devoted Yet Disappointed UK Movie Fan)

84aa-poster-iphone

Dear Hollywood, I am one of your biggest fans. I pay to go to the movies each and every week, sometimes more than once. I pay to stream movies at home and I buy DVDs. I am very diligent in the run up to the BAFTAs and the Oscars and I make sure I see everything by whatever means at my disposal, cinema, DVD purchase and streaming. This means that the first two months of each year are full on for me and my movie-going pal so that we see everything that’s nominated. That’s how much we care about you, [...]

You And Your Money: The Thorny Topic of Tipping

Good Tippers

I am a generous tipper. I was even before I saw this photo! Here’s my thinking about tipping, then I’d dearly love you to share your thoughts and opinions. These are difficult times. The people who generally hope for a tip are usually in service jobs which are often quite badly paid. In the UK, where I live, service leaves a lot to be desired and I feel quite strongly that this is our fault. We do not create a climate where its OK to be in a service job for a while or for ever. We need people to provide these [...]

Cheers! A Lovely Day Out In Champagne

Champagne Day App

This is the first App I’ve been involved with, even on the periphery, and we are pleased and proud to announce its launch. Do you like Champagne? I do!   And I’ve already been to the Champagne region twice. Once to Rheims without this App, and once to Verzy with the people who created the App. You cannot imagine the difference between the two visits and I know which one I will be taking in the future. Cheers! Apart from anything else, the Champagne we drank on our second trip was so much more enjoyable,  light, refreshing, organic and from [...]

Email Overwhelm: The GLOW I Get From An Empty Inbox

Empty Inbox

I had this topic on my list of potential blog posts, then the Minimalists beat me to it, so I thought I’d better share my views on this today as my system is different from theirs. I share their goal, I just go about it another way. Are you in Inbox Overwhelm?   I think most small business people are.   This is how I cope with it. When I went to bed last night, I had one unanswered email remaining in my inbox. I use my inbox like we used to use an in-tray and everything which is in my inbox is all [...]

Why Group Work is Enjoyable and Profitable For All

Meeting of Minds

I’m a person who loves to work at home, alone. I like going out, it’s always refreshing when I do but I prefer it at home, working, alone with my creative thoughts. But this thing I know. Human Beings are generally very sociable animals indeed and I am a rare bird. What most people like is playing nicely with others.   Bucketloads of us are working at home these days and most of us don’t like it like that. So what can we do about it? As business owners working in the soft skills area, we can offer groups to [...]

The Enormous Missed Business Opportunity The Megaupload Story Reveals To Me

Little Pirate

I really don’t know anything about the debate about online piracy and what it’s costing the original artists and makers of music and TV, but here’s what I do see. An enormous missed opportunity for the global players in this marketplace. Here’s how it seems to me as a consumer with an unmet desire and a credit card. I don’t own a TV but love to watch programmes on my laptop. I particularly love US shows like Homeland, The Good Wife, The Big C, Bones, House, Grey’s Anatomy and so on. This is quality television programming but here’s the rub. Although [...]
