When it comes to business and personal
values, it is often Integrity that is selected by most people on their list of
top 5. But if we look at what integrity is all about we find that it cannot be

been violated, this is your integrity.
Both myself and the business have signed up
for the Unashamedly Ethical pledge on their website. They offer ...

As we get closer to the implementation date
of the CPA, we are finding more and more people are still ignorant to its
implications and impact on their businesses. In this post I want to focus on
some of the marketing issues covered in the CPA, and how they will impact your
existing marketing campaigns.
As far as marketing goes at the moment, the
only restriction that I am aware of is the inability to use comparative
marketing. The CPA outlines a few more restrictions for us in the act it is...

This week my daughter turned 4. She has now
come of age as a child and begun to master her world. She has friends, play
dates and a network to solve problems she faces each day. Her short term future
is clear and apart from a small chest infection she is really happy with life.
Her brain is in the process of making new discoveries and connections each day
and according to research she has already learnt half the things she will learn
in her entire life.

The consumer protection act comes into
effect in October this year. This act spells out all the rules of engagement in
the supply chain of both retail products and services industries. It affects
almost everything to do with the running of your small business. We will, over
the next couple of weeks try to understand as much of that act as we can, but
please understand that I am not a lawyer, nor do I understand the law as well
as I could, and that this is just an act and only becomes law once...
