Guest blog – A new plan for the Summer – Ange de Lumiere
I have a new plan for the summer, which I started implementing last year with great success. Before this plan, I felt I could not even sustain a business and in truth, it was a struggle. Every year I dreaded the summer holidays because it meant I feared losing...
