You can’t stop a hailstorm

It’s peak season, the hours are big and we are making hay while the sun shines, and I’m also drinking more so take that for what it’s worth. I’ve managed to give myself a day off today, the narrative being to rest. The problem is, not doing any of the 300 jobs needed around theContinue reading “You can’t stop a hailstorm”

The season of “going to work”

Maybe it’s time to write down a few thoughts, the nights are getting colder, the air is crisper, the summer sun seems a distant memory. As the leaves change colour and the seasons change so does the business cycle of this small business. The summer season has been and gone and the time to regroupContinue reading “The season of “going to work””

Does money equal success?

In writing this blog, it should be noted that I am not some hot shot business man who has made my fortune. The context is from a business owner who is getting by, paying their bills but doesn’t hold much excess for the finer things in life. Our small business is still small, learning andContinue reading “Does money equal success?”

Sometimes it’s just a hard week

Originally I typed this blog after a hard week, one where I was ready to just give up. The truth is it was just a way to get a few things of my chest and rant. Like the process of writing an angry letter and never posting it (make sure you don’t post them!). ItContinue reading “Sometimes it’s just a hard week”

Compounding your mum

Yes, I admit it is a silly and crude title, but it’s a hook point (a concept I once read about, it gets your Attention whilst mindlessly scrolling ). It’s been a long while since I’ve blogged, far too long in fact. It’s not apparent that it’s been missed by anyone though, in fact IContinue reading “Compounding your mum”

Making the past more valuable, reflecting on 2021

As the world celebrates the passing of the old and the potential of the new, I am a prisoner of my own surroundings. After testing positive for Covid 19, and following government guidelines and have been in isolation from after just Christmas to the first few days of 2022. After announcing it to my customersContinue reading “Making the past more valuable, reflecting on 2021”

A Question of work?

So as the grains of sand fall through the life glass, another week has past in the blink of an eye. As we now approach December, life will become warp speed and a bit of a blur. As the frost covers the cars, the grass crunches under foot and the morning air is crisp it’sContinue reading “A Question of work?”

THE YEAR YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

So here we are, 2021, the promised land. After one of the most unprecended years in multiple generations 2020 was over and the frost covered morning of 2021 began. New years, in my humble view should always contain reflection. To look back over the year and find moments to be grateful for, lessons to learnContinue reading “THE YEAR YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.”

The positive side of mistakes

“I made a mistake”, four words, four little words that have the power to be self destructive or self motivating. The pain and embarrassment will still be the same but the outlook and direction of recovery will vary completely on which path is chosen. This week hasn’t gone my way financially. From car repairs, toContinue reading “The positive side of mistakes”
