Is Your Business Model Up to Date as a Creative Entrepreneur?
Illegitimi non carborundum – Don’t let the bastards grind you down. It seems like an apt way to kick off this post.

Julian Clary, Buggery, and Finding Your Purpose
Hello, I’m back from a fantastic holiday in South Africa (where I enjoyed both the beauty and food/wine of Cape Town and the amazing animals on Safari in Sabi Sands) and I’m raring to go into this Autumn.
