In some areas it would seem so. In general business it would not make sense to produce a product or service that we think is great but the customers don’t. Most successful businesses would do lots of market research to see what their proposed customer base wanted before investing resources. So why then does it […]
Have you ever paid attention to the narrative you tell yourself? I’m too fat; I’m not good at relationships; No one really likes me; I’m rubbish at…; I’m boring; I’ve got to be the best; Everyone is cleaver than I; etc. etc. Some of these things may be true but if we go around telling ourselves them constantly and also […]
The return to sunshine and lighter, longer days is usually an uplifting thing. We feel more hopeful, more alive than those dark days of winter. We want to renew and refresh our homes and sometimes our lives. However for some of us we don’t feel that renewed energy – we just feel worse that we […]
