Spouting Shite

During the first week of September I was asked to act as the ‘blogger in residence’ at Sunderland Software City. This involved a commitment to write a blog post every day for a week on the ‘trials and tribulations’ of running a small business in the software sector.

Sunderland Software City is a new initiative, based in the North East of England, designed to inspire and encourage the growth of the Software Industry in the region, and to make the area an attractive location of choice for software businesses.

My posts are here:

• Today is catchup Monday
  A insight into how messed up the world becomes when you return from holiday!
• Data entry day
  Why using one CRM system is a good idea!
• Job descriptions make me mad
  A general rant about why small businesses need engaged and well incentivised staff…not time wasters.
• I would rather play golf than discount our prices
  A rant on the current market conditions, and how people have started to abuse the position.
• I am a Butcher, a Baker and a Candlestick Maker
  Just a general commentary on the fact that small business owners need to wear many hats just to keep the ship on track.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to rant, vent and generally spout shite. I hope that people enjoyed looking at my world through my rose tinted glasses
