I once told an interview panel that if I got the job, I wouldn’t do anything for three months. Shockingly they didn’t hire me.
The need to pay more and slow down
I have two young children, a four-year old and a one-year old. The four-year old started primary school a few weeks ago. It’s something that I have been looking forward to for a long time!
How I’m keeping my inbox to single figures
I currently have 19 e-mail accounts set up in my mail app. Most accounts are for various businesses that I run because when I set them up, I always create an info@ account as the general account and then if needed a support@ account linked to my help desk software. Just counting the info@ type ac…
Success! I’m down to just 18 hours of work a week
When I first started my business, I had three goals. I wanted to be able to work from anywhere, I wanted to earn more money than I had in a ‘real’ job and I wanted to work as few hours as possible. Finally, after nearly 10 years, I have managed all three as I have finally lowered my working hours…
