That ever so English institution called Wimbledon
Wimbledon is quite something. It is such an English thing. For months leading up to the competition, the speculations are rife as to whether a Brit could possibly win it this time and just for a change. And the pressure on the poor English players is horrific.
Today is the first day of the competition [...]
Do you know how to sell
No matter what business you are in, what service you offer, what skills you have there is one underlying skill you have to have. You have to know how to sell. All business is about selling. In fact all life is one big selling campaign.
