The 5 Best Things About Working for Myself

Desert Island

Taking up Marion’s theme, which also just happens to be the topic of an end-of-term challenge we have set the Better Bloggers, here are my Five Best Things About Working for Myself. This is a BlogTag and if you would like to play, just let me know and I’ll send you an invitation to participate early next week. We are giving the Better Bloggers a head start until Saturday. My self-employed career is now some thirty-five (35!) years young. And over that time my Five Best Things would definitely have changed and changed again, and again. This is the 2012 [...]

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 [...]

Accounting Tips for Solopreneurs: Be Nice To Yourself & Your Accountant

Overworked Accountant

Throughout January, in the UK, I have watched people struggling to get their accounts stuff together for the 31 January tax return deadline. Spare a thought for your accountant if you have one.   What (s)he really doesn’t want is 100% of clients delivering their stuff in January. Imagine that just for a moment,  what if you had to do all your work for all your clients in one month of the year? And January at that, perhaps the grimmest of all months. In January last year I had cause to visit my accountant to get his signature on something to do with anti money-laundering regulations [...]

Entrepreneur: How Do I Know I Am One?

Wealth Dynamics

A comment from a virtual visitor earlier in the week got me thinking. Here’s his comment “Isn’t Entrepreneur a word that is used to describe other people?  As in you couldn’t really say “I am an Entrepreneur”, even if other people labelled you as such?”  Thanks to Michael for that. Actually I can, so I disagree with Michael. I don’t hold the word Entrepreneur in quite such reverence. Guru perhaps. Genius definitely. But Entrepreneur no. How do I know I am one?   Because I started and ran my own firm of accountants and sold it after 20 years and the guy [...]

Stop Struggling: When It’s Right, It’s Easy

Easy Button Staples £2.49

When I play Cashflow 101 with my clients and things go well, we hit this button and it says to us “That Was Easy!”   I remember almost nothing of my NLP training because I was in a trance for seven days straight, but even I know this is what NLPers call an anchor. I am training my clients, with thanks to Bianca who gave me this button, to take note of how easy it is to do what they want to do – make more money more easily.   And in so doing, I am undoing everything they used to believe [...]
