Building a Better Business, Despite the Obstacles

The last week started off on a great note with a trip over to Bolton on Sunday, a pleasant evening in the bar with fellow BNI members which saw Dr Ivan Misner join us for a brief period and then a great event on the Monday. The Build a Better Business conference was great, networking and tons of useful information to improve your business, your sales and your networking. There are a lot of things I will implement that will improve the performance of Tad Web Solutions Ltd.

The rest of the week was a bit of a slide downwards with a few exceptions. Back in the office on Tues to find the rain still comes in, the Internet was intermittent on Wednesday, we left early on Thurs as they were working on the firewall, and on Fri we left very early to work from home as the firewall is preventing us from using ftp to transfer files to or from our servers. Getting very peeved with our landlords now and things will shortly come to a head if not solved very quickly.

The week wasn't helped by a message whilst in Bolton on Mon saying that Peter's tutor needed to come in the next day without prior arrangement which means Peter loses around half a day of work. On Tues his tutor says he needs him in college the next day, again unplanned, so another day lost.

Friday also saw PalaceFM lose in their bid to get an FM licence for their community radio station. We hope they continue with their great radio station and we will continue to provide web support to help them.

So the problem is we're a bit behind schedule with last week's projects and big apologies to customers for that. The good news is that it's a problem - a problem because we have a lot of work on the books. So I'm stopping whining as I've got some catching up to do and need to crack on.
