It's never easy

We had a meeting with Tim Martin last week - he owns one of the largest companies in the UK. He's someone who we have a huge amount of respect for and as business owners we hang on his every word. When someone's been there and done it, you know that they will have had experiences both positive and negative well beyond our own, so when they speak, you listen.

He recalled a story - the moral of the story of which was that if you own a business, you have problems. It goes with the territory. That's why we love it - the variety, the constant challenge, no two days the same. It's a rollercoaster. Forget the fact that we live on the beach etc and the lifestyle is fantastic, we face the same challenges as all other small businesses around the country .... okay the view is good. Please stop feeling sorry for us!

Bit frazzled this morning as I phoned Pipex to query a bill. Turns out Janey is the account holder and they wouldn't speak to me. Frustrating and will have to wait until later. Not that interesting I know. Sorry, slow news day!
