They’re very small, unique, colourful and can hold a sustained hovering flight position while drinking nectar. They’re synonymous with wonder, beauty and specialness – all positive attributes.

        Best Free Mind Mapping Tools

There’s heavy competition in the field of mind mapping software. These days I work across PC and Mac environments so finding mind mapping software or apps… Read More »Best Free Mind Mapping Tools

            Is Your Business a Hobby?

              “Nothing happens without a sale” isn’t quite true. A lot happens to get a sale. The first thing being, you need something to sell. If you don’t have something to sell and offered for sale then you don’t have a business, you have a hobby. So, ask yourself – “where are my buy buttons?” Can’t find them? Maybe you don’t have a business after all. Now if you are literally just starting out then you might be excused – just make sure you don’t fall into the perpetual student syndrome.
