    Action coach

    Note: I am not an Action Coach, I've just used one.. I've more than likely spent £3k with the chap I use for one business I was struggling with (numerous reasons). From the contacts he's brought me and the advice, my turnover increased by around £50k with a good direction forward. So they...

    Action coach

    Hi L.H.M So I have used both action coach and BNI. Both have helped me and been successful, but would completely agree with the above comments. Coaches can know absolutely nothing and start a franchise. The coach I used had a successful background in coaching and running high turnover...

    Why have a shareholders' agreement?

    Why have a shareholders' agreement?

    New Computer or Tablet?

    Thanks Hello-Internet, I've actually managed to figure out a way to use a mouse with an iPad too. So should be able to use like a mini-computer, just wasn't sure how I would feel not having a physical laptop... Do your team have the 11" or 12.9?

    New Computer or Tablet?

    Hi All, My MacBook Pro is still going strong, but I'm tempted for a cheeky upgrade. I'm thinking of leaving my current laptop in the home office linked up, so I don't have to disconnect all the time going to and from offices/meetings. My question is: Do I upgrade to a newer MacBook Pro or do...
