Socket in February 2006

Yay for the heavenly pohutakawa, the sizzle and smoke of the barbeque, coffees in the sun at street-side tables and languorous swims in warm waters… long may they continue!

We wish you a Happy 2006 and hope you’re having a spectacular summer – in both your work and personal life. Finding a happy medium between them is a constant challenge for many, particularly those of us in self-employment. Having great energy is a true advantage in fuelling business success, as well as in managing the many aspects of our busy lives.

So, to kick the year off to a great start, we’ve invited a very experienced expert in the field of work/life balance.
