Handshakes aren’t worth the paper they are printed on!
05-03-2010 We identified that a clients current contractual agreement with their Chinese supplier was worth nothing – it was just empty words that weren’t legally enforceable leaving the company extremely vulnerable – it didn’t provide for continuous supply of goods, didn’t protect against faulty good which added up to potentially financial disaster given units take 6 weeks to arrive by sea leaving a massive whole in their available stock.more

Horoscope for March
04-03-2010 What’s happening in the heavens during March? March begins with the emphasis on the sign of Pisces. This is the sign of dreams and imagery, so we can all let our imagination run wild and spend some time connecting to our hopes and wishes. How we can turn them into reality? Mars, planet of motivation and action finally moves forward again in Leo on the 11th heralding a dramatic shift in energy. Mars expects us to leap into action and get things done. Achievement and accomplishment comes just in time for the Spring Equinox on the 20th as the Sun arrives in the fiery and passionate sign of Aries,more

Planning for Success
By AmandaB
How are you getting on with your Business Plan? Have you tried? .... but maybe not got far?
It's so important to get clear on the goals you're aiming for, otherwise you'll be like Alice, when she asked the Cheshire Cat which path to follow. As he said, "If you don't know where you're going any path will take you there."
Have you ever set off on a journey and just thought you'd see where the road leads and hope it'll be somewhere nice and the travelling will be pleasant? Only to find that the road is not an easy drive and the place you arrive at doesn't even have a good pub!
You can't afford to take that risk with your business, you need to know where you're headed and how to get there, an idea of the resources you'll need and how long it will take. If you don't know how to develop Business Plans for your business, contact amanda@amandabouchconsulting.co.uk for help.
