The Reason I Hate Fridays
I think lots of small business owners and entrepreneurs will actually agree with me.

It Feels Wrong To Advertise Now, But Is It Really?
With coronavirus sweeping through the world and with us in a lockdown together with many countries around the world; it doesn’t really feel like the right time to advertise.
