Making off piste videos and generating clients

I wrote a blog post last week about the remarkable ability of random things to create connection. Since then, I have had further evidence of this underrated, overlooked phenomenon. I had a consultation with an individual about the breakdown of a marriage of many decades. The individual who came to see me for advice was evidently… Continue reading Making off piste videos and generating clients

The most important skill in any small business or start up

One of the most important skills that any entrepreneur or small business owner can acquire is the ability to organise and manage. I have created and run many different businesses and undertakings since my first one in 1986. The one common thread running through all of them, like a seam of gold running through bedrock,… Continue reading The most important skill in any small business or start up

It’s hard to stay calm, but I will have to try harder

From time to time, I will meet an individual who has a problem, a legal problem. Usually, he or she can give me the information I need within minutes of the meeting commencing and I can quickly identify the issues and prospects of success with a claim or legal action. We can go into the… Continue reading It’s hard to stay calm, but I will have to try harder

I used to hate cutting the grass

I used to hate cutting the grass around our place at home. I saw it as such a waste of my valuable time. And no sooner would I have cut it, but I would have to do the same thing the following Saturday. And the following. And so on. Now I am looking forward to… Continue reading I used to hate cutting the grass

When you have achieved a victory, tighten the strings on your helmet

I cannot recall where I came across this quotation, “when you have achieved a victory, tighten the strings on your helmet”. But I take it to mean that the time you are most vulnerable and in danger of doing something stupid is when things are going well. I have always been of this view, and… Continue reading When you have achieved a victory, tighten the strings on your helmet

A short, vertical video experiment on YouTube

I published a short, vertical video on YouTube yesterday evening at around 9 pm. It was only about 50 seconds long and it was simply me baking sourdough bread at the weekend. There were no words, no speaking but I got a nice piece of music from the free YouTube music library. All the music… Continue reading A short, vertical video experiment on YouTube

The remarkable ability of random things to create connection

I published a video on my YouTube channel a few days ago about writing with a fountain pen. It is a video which I debated internally whether to publish at all or not. But I have been experimenting lately with the type of content I publish on YouTube and am looking to broaden my subject… Continue reading The remarkable ability of random things to create connection

I went to mass yesterday for the first time in many years

I went to mass yesterday for the first time in many years. I cannot remember when I last went. It could have been ten years ago, but I am unsure. I can give a few reasons for my decision but the most important one, I think, has been my reading of Graham Greene novels, most… Continue reading I went to mass yesterday for the first time in many years

Making videos for fun and profit

I have been uploading videos to YouTube since 2011, St. Patrick’s Day. Originally, I did so to generate leads and clients for my solicitor’s practice. And for the following ten or eleven years I simply continued making and publishing videos and distributing them widely on social media sites, after firstly uploading to YouTube. Always with… Continue reading Making videos for fun and profit
