I’m hoping that you’re reading this post because you’re a proactive entrepreneur that wants to avoid making unnecessary mistakes ahead of time, but I’m ready to concede to the fact that you’re probably reading this because you messed up – big time. Most business owners will know just what it’s like to lose a client, but not all of them will have learnt from their mistakes. Today you can do just that, as I highlight the list
Staring at the screen wondering which film to watch for inspiration, motivation or just to kill an evening?
