In my experience most people start a business to become rich. However, during the course of starting a business most founders realise a deeper meaning and purpose in themselves. Most of the time people who start a business realise that they actually started a business not just for money, but because they had a yearning… Continue reading Should You Start A Business?

This Is Why We Can Change The NHS
The people at the top of the NHS, it is widely thought, have it so easy.
