2012, a year to find shops to rent

It’s 2012, wow. Time to set myself some clear goals so that I can see some tangible improvements in my business by the end of the year.
It’s been a bit of a pipe dream for a while but, I think I really should start to put things into motion and get a retail property [...]

Retail Therapy

Geoff’s always wanting to give me business advice on how he thinks I can grow my organic produce business further (excuse the pun). As you may or may not know, it’s an e-commerce business so operates solely online, delivering fresh, organic produce to people’s homes. Recently though I’ve had an increase in competition from the [...]

More office space please!

I feel so claustrophobic in my house at the moment. I need a bigger kitchen, bathroom, living room and I definitely need more office space. Geoff has basically moved every single one of his possessions into my house and now it’s just cluttered and messy.
What was my clean tidy, organised office has now become [...]

Leave a message on my Retell 332

Geoff and I have been having major debates lately about whether or not my virtual office is worth the money I’m spending on it. I’m certain it is as it means my post is going to a secure location and will be kept until I feel the need to pick it up. He says it’s [...]

My Virtual Office

So the flu hasn’t cleared up. I’m still in bed feeling extremely sorry for myself and living on a diet of chicken soup and hot lemon drinks, it’s far from lovely.
As I’ve been virtually running my office from my bed (Geoff gave in as he understood I couldn’t afford to stop working for more than [...]

Fame and fortune?

After some good advice from some people in the know I’ve decided to up the advertising for my business. Business has been good but apparently to move to the next level I need to expand my reach a bit and some more online advertising should be able to help with it. I just need to [...]

Exhausted!

I know I shouldn’t moan as it’s actually really good that my business is doing amazingly well but I just can’t help feeling exhausted! I feel like one of those hamsters running on a wheel, or a dog trying to bite its own tail.
Running your own business really is hard work and I literally [...]

Tweet like a bird

I know I said before, following my online dating saga, that I wasn’t keen on putting any more of my details onto the web. Well I still maintain that posting personal details comes with its unwanted risks, but I’m starting to think that being online a bit more could improve my social life and my [...]

Healthy Business

Healthy Business!
I know I was toying with the idea a few months ago to start expanding my business and to say the least the idea hasn’t gone away.
My business has been doing reasonably well lately and although I enjoy the current work rate I do feel like I should be doing more. I’ve [...]

Organic farming documentary

I came across this documentary on YouTube about organic farming. It’s only a student project but it’s pretty well done if you ask this laywoman! Ah, to retire to the countryside and live on a farm would be a thoroughly lovely way to spend my days… Might need some help though (yes, she’s still here)…
