Wise words, Barrie. The niche comment is an interesting one. Most new businesses are advised to niche. In my early days I found that difficult because I didn’t want to close down any opportunities. I’d say I do have a niche now, but it evolved over time. It wasn’t planned - it just happened.

I like the idea of niche emerging … many of the folk I speak to have been pushed into narrowing their focus way too early, in one particular case just to make it easier for someone to put what they do in a box. I guess if taking a direction is a freedom, it’s good, if it’s a constraint then it’s worth loosening the definitional boundaries a little. Thanks so much for reading, Andrew. Hoping Spring is springing for you.

It’s tricky. When people start a new business, we often lack confidence and experience so take on board advice without knowing if it’s right for your own peculiar set of circumstances. I guess you have to try and be brave to move on if it doesn’t work. Easier said than done.

Spring is springing. Bath have a very big match at The Rec this evening - v Saracens. 2nd v 3rd. My voice may be hoarse tomorrow. Hope yoy and JoJo are having fun.

So true ... that's one of the reasons I love offering the Sessions ... being able to offer a counter-perspective can unlock some confidence.

Good luck tonight - I know long-standing rivalries demand that I should begrudge Bath's progress but I really admire their style of play and I am rooting for them to disrupt the old order. Bon chance.

We're in good form, thank you ... life is gently unfolding, jut how we like it.

Coming from a Glawster fan that means a lot! Glad you re both in good form - you seem to be judging from your online musings.

This thing you offer is generous, kind and powerful. I wonder, do you have a collection of all the things you've learnt from the sessions. A little book might be in order.. "Lessons from..."
