Luxury or Just a Label? The Truth About High-End Business Time to Refine Your Practices Good day Reader! I had to get this one out before tomorrow because there is no room for foolishness on this topic.

Beyond the high price tags, sleek aesthetics and yet another overused buzzword, what actually makes a business premium? Experience does. I've broken down what truly...

But no, that's not where I have been.😉 A plan needs time to develop and regular check-ins to ensure it's still on track. So a planned Dust Off turned into a Clean Up, which has me working through a lengthy list of actions to finish. Enough about me, how are things with you? You may have...

The shock horror of being caught out when ethics are ignored

When Business Boundaries Are Crossed Short on Time? Catch the Medium Highlights Good morning Reader! What would you do if you found out a former service provider was still using your data—without permission? It happens more often than you’d think. A contract ends, but access isn’t revoked. Maybe it’s an old login, a shared document, or even physical keys. Some take that as an invitation to help themselves. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. The Ethical Blind Spot Some call it...

All That Glitters Isn't Valuable Catch up on Medium Dear Reader, "How to snag a client" using deception and power plays isn't an ethical strategy. It's manipulation. When someone assumes they know better, slaps a label on it and blocks anything to the contrary, preventing a real conversation, that says a lot. This happened to me on the weekend. Someone (the author) liked my comment and then called me a "know-it-all" before disappearing (aka blocking me). It's a prime example highlighting a...

Not Even a Month Down and I'm Frazzled! Catch up on the Ethical Insights Hi Reader, I hold my hands up and confess before you even catch some attitude. A whole lot is going on, and I suddenly realise I'm not a circus act 🤡 far from it! So besides being in the middle of drafting my first bespoke policy for CAS Ltd (please don't judge, a builder always has outstanding jobs to do on their home, I know from working with them for years - I've clearly picked up a few bad habits).🫢 Here's something...

The Ethical Strategist and the Operational Hummingbird

Hello Reader, I remember many years ago we went out for dinner and there was party of three who had taken our usual table in the window. I recall not being happy but the disappointment, err no - annoyance faded when I overheard the conversation. One very camp man was a little too loud and cut off someone else mid-sentence "Okay, enough of that. Let's talk about me!" And so I start that way to prepare you for what's to follow... Nothing fancy this time 'round because of a few reasons: At the...

Where Good Advice Takes a Wrong Turn Catch up on the Ethical Insights Hello Reader, 'Tis the season for mayhem and madness, if you celebrate at this time of year, I', not even going to ask how it's going. For me, it's time to take a driving hiatus while the possessed try to buy everything in sight. Podcasts have been a welcomed distraction, well, almost. The other day I was listening to a business owner preaching the words that are warming to my soul, "always ensure you have a contract."...
