Nope! This title isn’t a suggestion that anyone reading this should become a detective in order to earn their living. It is however a suggestion that it might be useful to examine the conclusions you are drawing from the experiences you are having. What we humans appear to be pre-programmed to do is to come […]
When your oddity becomes your asset. When starting a new business it seemed every one was banging on about ‘identifying your USP‘ and it’s took me a while to work that out.
