Indemnity Fees – Where Is The Ceiling?
I have a client who has been qualified as a dentist for 30 years. He is skilled, dedicated, talented and knowledgeable. I would happily be his patient if the need arose.

The Monday Morning quote #308
“In doing creative work do not start your day with addictive time vampires like the New York Times or Twitter. Instead, begin with your work.” – Edward Tufte
The Weekend Read – Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith

You can’t always run…..
I don’t tend to post much personal stuff here as I presume that my life and its ups and downs is of no great concern to anyone outside my immediate family and close friends. I am suspicious of the motives of those who are having such a wonderful life on Facebook when I know theContinue reading “You can’t always run…..”
