One of the benefits of having a blog, even if nobody reads it, is you can use it to assemble and store valuable links for your work or life. I was reading the Irish Times this morning on my iPad and came across a case that illustrates a point I am arguing in an employment… Continue reading An excellent benefit of having a blog (even if nobody reads it)

Two reminders to myself
I am writing this note to myself to try to remember two important principles of what I do to build my brand and business. I often forget them and get side-tracked. Firstly, don’t try to make content for everyone. You can’t and won’t please everybody. Make stuff for those with whom you will do business,… Continue reading Two reminders to myself
Writing a blog post every day for 12 months-how it has gone
I set myself the challenge of writing a blog post on this blog every day on the 31st January 2022. I have managed to do it, too, and today is 21st February 2023. And I will keep going, keep writing a blog post every day. Sometimes, however, I wonder could I get more from the… Continue reading Writing a blog post every day for 12 months-how it has gone
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?
The mental health benefits of blogging
I am firmly convinced that blogging has significant mental health benefits. In the same way that a diary years ago provided a secret, sacred place for a person to unload what was on their mind a blog can provide a similar benefit nowadays. You never would have published your diary and it would have been… Continue reading The mental health benefits of blogging
Maintaining the daily writing habit in Sorrento
Back in February, I think, I made a promise to myself to show up here every day and write a blog post. It could be a short one, a long one, and about anything and everything under the sun. But I would write something. And I am proud to say, have stuck with it. It… Continue reading Maintaining the daily writing habit in Sorrento
Finding legal diamonds in the Twitter sewer
I am not the biggest fan of Twitter. I have often described it as a cess pool, an open sewer, feral, and so forth. But it keeps drawing me back, and on some rare occasions I come across a post or tweet or link that I love, or I find really useful or interesting. I… Continue reading Finding legal diamonds in the Twitter sewer
Blogging every day for 12 months-how it’s going
I made a commitment back on 31st January 2022 that I was going to blog every day for 12 months. This blogging was to be done on this website and was entirely separate from blog posts that I might write for my law based websites such as BusinessAndLegal.ie or EmploymentRightsIreland.com. It was to be entirely… Continue reading Blogging every day for 12 months-how it’s going
The curse of knowledge, and the great opportunity that presents itself
I was contacted by a client of mine recently who was interested in buying a retail unit for his professional practice. He was confused about what was actually being offered for sale, however, and asked me a number of questions about it. The questions appeared to me to be stupid questions. As far as I… Continue reading The curse of knowledge, and the great opportunity that presents itself
