Posted on February 9, 2015 by Susan Grossey author

A new look for spring

Posted on March 10, 2014 by Susan Grossey author

When you’re a one person business, as I am, you have to learn to prioritise.  You only have so many hours in the day (after all, those episodes of “Poldark” don’t watch themselves in the evenings) and so you have … Continue reading →

Posted on October 14, 2013 by Susan Grossey author

I hope that you will forgive me for hijacking today’s post to ask for your help.  Over the weekend I was looking at my company website (www.thinkingaboutcrime.com) and it occurred to me that it might be due for a revamp. … Continue reading →

Under-promise and over-deliver

Posted on July 15, 2013 by Susan Grossey author

I have been (in effect) self-employed now for nearly twenty years.  Unemployable, my nearest and dearest tell me.  And those who are considering the self-employed life often ask me what skills they need and whether they are suited.  To my … Continue reading →

I’m not an early adopter.  I still watch “Poldark” (the original series) on videotape.  I do not have a smartphone or anything beginning with an i, and I drive a 26-year old car.  And so I was always going to … Continue reading →

What’s a nice girl like me doing with a subject like this?

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Susan Grossey author
