The fine line between success and failure was graphically illustrated in the match between Manchester City and Manchester United played this weekend.

With only a few minutes to go the sports journalists were shown preparing the headlines as they thought is was all over for Manchester City. ‘Chokers’ was one headline being prepared. If Manchester City had lost that match there wouldn’t have been a good word to be said about Mancini and his players. The results they had attained…

Another week – and more depressing headlines!

• ‘Costing more to fill up the car than to do the weekly shop’
• ‘Half of over-50s will have to work beyond state pension age’
• ‘UK in double dip recession’

- just a few of the headlines we are seeing.

So what do you do about it? Well some people will sit back and grumble and moan and blame everyone and everything. So how does that help?

Others will evaluate their circumstances and work out if there is anything…

Before I had anything to do with utilities I had 2 other main careers. I was a Phys Ed teacher for many years before moving into fashion retail, eventually owning 5 retail outlets.

Whenever anyone asked what I did, either of those two professions would evoke a very positive response.

Now I am in the world of utilities – what a difference! The reaction varies from total indifference to open hostility. ‘Oh you are not one of those awful people who…

Hardly a day goes by at the moment without some newspaper headline or item on the news, pointing out the increase in the cost of living. It makes depressing reading and viewing. Costs are rising but incomes are not rising at the same rate – if at all! The result is less disposable income or worse still, too much month at the end of the money!

Do you grin and bear it and think ‘that’s how it is’ or do…

Ladies – this is of course something we have always known but at last we can prove to any sceptical male: when we say we are actually saving them money by shopping , we can prove it with figures in black and white!

Utility Warehouse Cashback Card

The Utility Warehouse CashBack card gives you money off your monthly utility bill by just doing your normal shopping.

Here’s a typical scenario. You do food shopping every month. You…

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. This is an old Chinese proverb but it is as true today as it was then.

Sometimes change is thrust upon us and that is outside our control but the real change that makes a difference, is the change that YOU decide to make, the change over which YOU have control.

Change can seem a massive challenge and can take you…

Yesterday I was at a training event with the company I work with. It’s a training that all new distributors with this company have to attend. That is absolutely right that this should be. I would have no confidence in a company that let you loose into the public domain without training. Can you imagine someone wanting to become a hairdresser and being allowed to cut your hair without undergoing training first? I used to be a teacher but…

Working from home can conjure up things such as addressing envelopes, filling out surveys, tele sales, translating or tutoring. Some of it is very mundane and boring but nevertheless perhaps fulfils a financial need at a particular time.  There are alternatives however.

How would you like to Work From Home on a recession proof business with a British PLC company based in London, that has won national awards for its customer service…

Is your current income enough for your needs?  Or for the lifestyle you desire?

In this current economic climate more and more people are finding the need to have a second income. There are many openings out there. The 64 thousand dollar question – which one is the right one for you?

You should sit down and make a check list. What are you good at, what are your interests, what investment can you give – both time and financial, what…

Many police have 2nd jobs. My highly motivated team is looking for both serving policemen and ex police personnel to join them – is it YOU?

Headlines in the Times today report that many police officers have second jobs because they need a second income.

Concerns have been raised about ‘conflict of interest ‘with certain types of jobs and whether allowing police officers to have a second job will create a part time police force. The Police Federation has defended the…
