Do you use interviews to promote your business, increase traffic to your website or raise your profile? When I was writing my book I wanted to include chapters written from the perspective of my children, but I knew I didn’t have a chance in hell of getting either of them to actually write anything! So …
I got into a bit of a fix the other week. I was made a great offer for a training course I really wanted to do but I needed to pay for it quickly. And as every small business owner knows, cashflow can be a problem. I had cheques to pay in and client invoices …
