I have been agonising about what to do with my Vespa ride footage. This footage is the footage taken from a spin around the parish or a little trip someplace on my Vespa scooter. The big question I must address is whether I should be trying to talk about business or law issues on these… Continue reading My Vespa Vlog videos
The underrated value of communication
I have learned over the years about the value of communication and the ability to communicate well with whoever you are seeking to reach.

The effect of negative online comments
I don’t care how many people say they are not affected by online negative comments, I do not believe them. My view is that no matter how hard you try to ignore negative comments and criticism online they do get to you. One way or another. The drip, drip effect, and the unexpected and unpredicted… Continue reading The effect of negative online comments
