Which I have to admit is a rather funky bit of software – easy to use now that the ever-dependable Kim Black has fixed a link error overnight. Earlier this morning I wandered into my home office and opened all the post envelopes that arrived since I last cleared the decks a week ago. Even

Here’s me testing the link from Macjournal to my blog this morning.

Approaching the Easter weekend, I was in conversation with Sonya Hamill this morning and reminded of an old statement: I’m too busy earning a living to make any money There are times when you are, as Michael Gerber would say, “doing it, doing it, doing it” – and for a successful dentist that might mean

Here’s a link to a Sheffield Telegraph article on how S10 Dental are bringing other small businesses in their area together. Another example of the sterling work done by practice manager Julie Webster. Now, more then ever, you MUST engage with other entreprenuers in your location. An added-value alliance – you converse with each partners

Friday evening and a 4-hour wait for my flight from Edinburgh to Exeter and then a late drive home to Falmouth. A chance to reflect on an inspirational trip north of the Border and some new friends. Wednesday was a delight – to meet with Willie and Xandra Maceachan and the team at the newly
