Craig fulfilled my request for copywriting to promote two projects for my business. He took time and care to understand the messages needed. Craig is easy to work with and I much appreciated his professional help.
What does it mean to be ‘in business’?
What does it mean to be ‘in business’?
Everybody employed within business and those who run a company will have heard the phrase ‘to have a business mindset’, but what does this actually mean?
Sure, we all have a mindset, but how do we switch between our everyday thinking about our personal and family lives into a thought process that focuses solely on business? Are they indeed mutually exclusive? I would argue not. To celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week (14-20 November), join me as I divulge the key ingredients that have helped me on my journey to date, as well as detailing the kinds of people I continue to learn from.

Craig edited a short story to go into an anthology. He was efficient, worked within the constraints that were set by the compiler of the book, and met all deadlines throughout the whole process. The role of an editor is not just to correct the text but also to ask questions. As my story was historical, Craig quite rightly challenged me on some of the facts and contentions within the fiction and I was grateful that he did so. I will be happy to use Craig’s services again and have already asked him to edit another story for the next release in this set of four anthologies.
