I was perched atop a pallet of paper, a glass of tea in hand, just outside the works where Dan plied his trade when I was surprised with a question from my usually content 23 yr old friend. “Charlie, I’m supposed to be identifying my USP. Why does being in business have to be so…

Collaboration is a much anticipated and at the same time, such an overlooked benefit to networking. What happens though, when things don’t quite go to plan? Been there? You know it don’t you?

The trouble with the process? Here’s the deal … a friend of mine has just found a certain amount of recognition with a rock band he is working with. See Nervus. I’ve known him a while, since he was a youngster and when catching up recently I was pleasantly surprised to see the confident young fella…
