One of the biggest misconceptions I come across is that being busy automatically means your business is doing well. In reality, being busy and being visible are two very different things. I've spoken to countless business owners over the years who genuinely have...

The Little Place Making a Big Difference in Blyth

Today, I'm working from Tales Without Borders. Like many people, I can work from almost anywhere - home, a cafe, a client's office, but every now and then, it's good to change the scenery. Not because you're running away from work, but because the right environment...
