Amrise sounds like a euphemism Watty. For little b u g g e r probably.

Quick posting - major business traumas. Little time to do much else than fret about business at the moment. Will be back to post and catch up shortly.

Hope the traumas are sorted swiftly and as painlessly as possible x

Thanks all.
So things not been great and I have a lot to do but I need to work out how to phase the work in rather than usual work from 7 am to 11 pm approach to sorting things out.
And trying to put a spin on the latest disaster, as a result I will have to research each and every one of my clients which means I can trim down the client list to those who are active or have been so in the last couple of years, update their details, learn to do email marketing, learn social media and I've come up with one new product to develop and sell.
Its been a hell of a week - but - I must be feeling a lot better than I was a few months ago because I have begun to see that I can make something out of the business trauma.
And in same light, I re-did my application for the course I had found - I've no idea if one can apply twice - but - I did. Now if I don't get on it I know that I have given it my best shot.

Highly recommended. When I was really busy, I made myself stop work at 9pm, and have the rest of my evening for myself.

The research and focus is recommended in everything I read about modern business - helps with proper fees as well, I think. And a new product sounds great.

Good for you, on both of these - business seems to be changing so fast, that without constant reassessment and planning, you just get left behind.

Even the floods back in 2001 showed that - some businesses were flooded, and as a temporary measure, they set up websites (it wasn't automatic back then!) and the websites did so well, some of them never reopened their physical stores.

Sending hugs and some spare strength I found down the back of the sofa. X
