At Home: a short history of private life by Bill Bryson. An interesting exploration of home mostly in England and some in the US with riffs about historical bits – inventors, disease and governments. Spies: a novel by Michael Frayn. I enjoyed it, but didn’t think it was a happy novel. Another of his […]
Numbers tell the story of your business. They tell of struggle, triumph, of recessions, weather, shortages and realized opportunities. Numbers are a language – a very logical one and one without emotion. We don’t see an exuberant zero or an unhappy negative. They just are. We feel emotion when we see numbers because we think […]
Doing what you do is the most important decision you can make. You need to be working within that sweet spot at the intersection of your passion, your strength and what people value enough to pay for. Hugh MacLeod illustrates it perfectly here.
