The economy is general. It’s determined by outside factors . Your economy is specific. It’s determined by you . Your economy is what matters. That’s because it is always your actions that determine your economy … and your results. We saw this everywhere a few years ago, during the pandemic loc k downs . There would be businesses in the same industry, in the same towns, serving the same marketplace; one would flourish and the other would fail. Same restrictions. Same opportunities. But massively different outcomes. Your economy and amazing opportunities Yes, the 2025 economy is fast moving and increasingly hard to predict. However, every business owner who’s doing the right things for the current landscape will thrive. I know because I work with these business owners every day. We’re working on  their  economy. We’re focused on the things  they can control. It turns out that’s almost 100% of what actually matters, f...

This article gives you a behind the scenes look at those rags to riches stories we love. Plus, why they’re not always quite what they seem! People love a good story. So much so, that facts are often changed in order to make the story more compelling. Now, with some types of story, it’s unlikely to cause us any problems if the story we hear has been embellished. If that prince was a little less hunky in real life than in the story, it’s okay. Similarly, if the fish Bob caught wasn’t quite as big as he told us, that’s fine. But what if it’s a fact that Sir Richard Branson was actually born into a very, very rich and influential family ? Rags to riches… really? Where we have a challenge, is when the stories we hear are intended to provide us with a business lesson, yet they have a key piece of information missing. Like the rags to riches stories, which contained no rags! 2 Types of business story There are 2 types...

Designing a new home isn’t just about bricks and blueprints anymore—it’s about creating a space that feels amazing and photographs beautifully. In an age where every corner might end up on someone’s feed, homes are being designed with an eye for aesthetic, comfort, and shareability. Think natural textures, calming palettes, and design features that make you want to double-tap. Here are some of the top tips for creating a home that’s Instagram-worthy and soul-soothing. 1. Layout With Intention Before the styling and color choices come into play, it all starts with flow. A well-thought-out layout doesn’t just feel good—it photographs well. Natural sightlines, open spaces, and smart zoning make a space feel effortless and look cohesive. Think of every room as a frame: how it opens, how it connects, and how it tells a visual story. 2. Natural Light is the Real Filter No filter beats soft, natural light. Large windows, skylights, and glass doors should be top of the design l...

One of the quickest ways to improve your results, is to spot and fix the tiny things that can make a big difference to your business. Here are some ideas to quickly get you started. Sham spam In 2024, I almost lost two, high-quality enquiries from people who became new clients. It was down to what I call sham spam . Here’s what it is and how to avoid it. Yes, I know you check your spam email folder. I’m specifically referring to the anti-spam folder on your website, designed to filter spammy messages from reaching you. Genuine business contact form enquiries are sometimes wrongly filtered as spam and you never see them. I learned this one the hard way! It doesn’t happen often, but often enough to justify checking occasionally. Why not check your spam folder after you’ve finished reading this? It takes very little time. Customer connections Regularly make time to connect with at least one of your clients. This incudes former...

Let’s be real, your home should be your happy place, the ultimate chill zone. But who says comfort can’t be stylish? As an interior designer obsessed with creating spaces that feel as good as they look, I’m here to spill the tea on how to inject personality and cozy vibes into your home – and yes, that includes a major throwback that’s making a serious comeback: the beanbag ! Forget those shapeless sacks of the past. Today’s beanbags are all grown up and ready for their close-up. Think sleek silhouettes, luxurious fabrics (hello, faux fur and buttery leather!), and even structured designs that offer serious support. They’re not just for dorm rooms anymore; a strategically placed beanbag can be the ultimate statement piece in your living room, bedroom, or even a stylish home office nook. Why are beanbags having a moment? Let me count the ways: Ultimate Comfort: Seriously, sink into one of these bad boys after a long day and feel the s...

I’ve heard numerous business owners ask the same question recently. They want to know when things will go back to normal. They’re asking the wrong question. Things can’t go back to normal. Time only moves forward. There’s no going back. Even if we invented a time machine, normal means something different to every person who asks the question. But that’s okay. You can get things back to normal for you and your business. You won’t need a time machine. You only need to know what normal means for you and your business. Back to normal So, what does your version of normal look like? You’ll typically find it was the way things felt for you at a certain point in the past. Usually this is a sense of stability or security. Plus, a feeling that things were more predictable and consistent, less volatile. Whatever normal means to you, write it down. Once you have your very own, unique picture of what nor...

I shared an idea recently with some entrepreneurs, which I think you may find useful. It’s a powerful, yet very simple difference in how the most successful business owners run their day. I’ve also included a tip, which you can use to accelerate the growth of your business. Let’s go! It starts with an observation When I speak with business owners who are frustrated with their progress, I find they spend a lot of time reacting . Specifically, reacting to the demands of their customers and colleagues. As such, they spend too little time developing their own business. This scenario is most commonly expressed in that often-repeated business advice; You need to spend more time working on your business and less time working in your business . Of course, every business owner needs to respond to the needs of their business. What I’ve discovered is that the most successful business owners respond differently from their average counterp...

In the seedy underworld of drug runners, romance scammers, and crypto cons, one name continues to reek like rot beneath perfume: Hyeji Bae . Known for her deceptions and debauchery from Seoul to Tokyo, this elusive manipulator has finally made one major misstep—and it’s not going unnoticed. Once flaunting her life under the Instagram handle @oliviahyevang , Hyeji has now panicked her way into obscurity by changing her username to the cryptic @duchgafdcf . A laughable attempt at escaping scrutiny? Absolutely. In doing so, she left her original username up for grabs , and someone with a conscience—and receipts—snatched it like a vulture circling a rotting carcass. That reclaimed tag is now being used as an open archive to expose her horrifying legacy —and let’s just say, the contents are explosive. Screenshots, voice memos, transaction records—it’s all there. Crimes Hyeji thought she buried are now resurrected in full view, unfiltered and undeniable. A Digital Crime Gallery ...

In a shocking turn of events, Yui Miura (三浦結衣) has resurfaced with a completely new look, leaving many questioning whether this drastic transformation is an attempt to escape her tainted past. The notorious gold-digger and scam artist, known for her history of prostitution, financial fraud, and manipulation, has now emerged with platinum blonde hair—perhaps in an effort to reinvent herself.

When you own a high-profit chunk of your marketplace, everything improves. You’ll have no meaningful competitors. Growing your business will become easy. You’ll attract the ideal type of client or customer every time. And you will never again have to compete based on price. I’m going to show you how to make this happen. I’m nice like that. Let’s imagine someone is the owner of a small marketing agency. Ironically, that’s one of the most common industries with this problem. Now let’s assume they know that there are lots of ideal prospective clients in need of a new agency. But their agency isn’t getting a big enough share of these wonderful, prospective clients. By the way, let’s assume this agency also has a well-designed website, nice branding, some kick ass testimonials and experienced team members. As well as all the services you’d expect. Given there are lots of outstanding prospects out there in  need , why doesn’t this well-equipped ...

When I ask a business owner who their ideal customer or client is, they almost always reply with demographics; average age, location, income level, etc.  Whilst demographics are certainly useful, they’re just a piece of the picture. Demographics will tell you who to target with your marketing. However, to get that demographic to buy from you, you need to know  what matters to them . That’s their motivation. That’s what drives their decisions. That’s what drives their actions. That’s what determines whether they buy from you… or don’t. Demographics alone can be problematic. There are wealthy people who spend the lowest possible price for a reliable product. They’d happily buy a £5 pen, but wouldn’t dream of buying a £500 pen. There are also those on low incomes who would take a loan out, just to own that £500 pen. Income level is only part of the picture. I was inspired to share this with you, ...

Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that has reshaped the way we do work. However, this tool relies on humans to function, requiring the proper training and prompting in order to be helpful. This is called prompt engineering , which is the art and science of what you say and how you say it when using AI. Prompt engineering rewires how the user thinks, leading them to effective commands to yield the best results from their chosen AI model.  Studies show that over 80% of IT professionals think they can use AI. However, only 12% actually have the skills to perform prompt engineering effectively. Because of this, there is a pressing need for AI literacy in many fields, with as many as 2 in 3 leaders admitting that they will not hire candidates without AI skills. Many professionals know the basics, but lack the in-depth knowledge needed to advance their careers. With the current 50% hiring gap between AI jobs and AI roles , AI literacy is now more important than ever.  ...

Chronic pain is a persistent and often debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Whether it’s the result of an injury, an inflammatory disease, or a long-term health issue, managing chronic pain can be a complex challenge.
