Advice for a young person wanting to pursue a career in law

I was contacted by a young person on Instagram recently who expressed an interest in pursuing a career in law. He wanted to know if I would have any advice for him. Having thought about it I concluded that the best thing he, or any young person in his position could do, would be to… Continue reading Advice for a young person wanting to pursue a career in law

Crashing my drone and recognising the story opportunity

I wrote a few short weeks ago about buying a drone. I then published a video on my YouTube channel covering the same topic. But no sooner had I hit the publish button when I crashed and lost the drone in the River Boyne. I wrote about this yesterday on this blog. I was tremendously… Continue reading Crashing my drone and recognising the story opportunity

I lost my drone in the River Boyne yesterday

I was sickened. “Connection lost” was the message on my drone controller yesterday at the Leinster Bridge on the N4. The river Boyne runs under that bridge and my drone (a DJI Mini 2) was last seen travelling smoothly under one of the old, stone arches of the bridge. It was going to be a… Continue reading I lost my drone in the River Boyne yesterday

The best way to learn stuff? Persevere

I wrote yesterday about my intention to change the WordPress themes on my two biggest, most important websites. It was a job I had put off for a year or more as I felt it might be a task that could get tricky and would need time and space to deal with problems that came… Continue reading The best way to learn stuff?

Changing the theme on my 2 biggest WordPress sites

There are a few days remaining in my annual leave and I still have a few little tasks I need to tackle. The most important one is to change the theme on my two biggest, most trafficked websites, BusinessAndLegal.ie and EmploymentRightsIreland.com. Both websites are of crucial importance in my business and generate an enormous number… Continue reading Changing the theme on my 2 biggest WordPress sites

Making videos for fun

I have spent a lot of time over the holidays learning more about making videos, videography, timelapses, drone videos, editing, and related things. I may never put what I have learned into practice, or at least into commercial practice. But I enjoy learning new things, new skills and I enjoy making videos. The fact that… Continue reading Making videos for fun

Redoing my audiobook “Buying a House in Ireland: A Step by Step Guide by a Builder/Solicitor”

I have spent the last few days rerecording my book, “Buying a House in Ireland: A Step by Step Guide by a Builder/Solicitor”. This book sells well on Audible on audiobook format but I have had an English narrator to date and I believe it would be better if I was reading it myself. There… Continue reading Redoing my audiobook “Buying a House in Ireland: A Step by Step Guide by a Builder/Solicitor”

The dilemma of my daily writing habit

I wrote yesterday about the commitment I made in January 2022 to write and publish a blog post on this blog/site every day. I have managed to achieve that daily goal and have developed what I believe to be a tremendously valuable asset; an asset for me personally and my business. The mental health benefits… Continue reading The dilemma of my daily writing habit

The daily writing commitment I made in January 2022-how has it gone?

I have been writing on this blog every day since 31st January 2022. I made a promise to myself at that time and made a public commitment to write a blog post every day. I confess to taking some pride in having done so to date. For the most part it has been easy to… Continue reading The daily writing commitment I made in January 2022-how has it gone?
