Summer Rush
My business isn't exactly seasonal, but it's been crazy how much busier I've been since the weather has improved.
It's really amazing how people's moods change when the weather is nicer. Clients have been calling with requests you couldn't have talked them into months ago, even if you'd held their kids to ransom.
Now would be a good time to hire someone, but with industrial relations laws in flux I'd be stupid to put some gumbies on right now. I can't imagine how many more Aussie businesses will be acting the same way.
Of course that wouldn't impact on hiring high-level people, but I can't even contemplate investing the time and money to train a gumby or two, only to find out six months later that I have to keep them regardless of how they turn out.

This is also why I’ve been blogging less, lately.
Quit your job and blog full-time.
HA!
I need to find someone to sponsor my road trip around Australia first ;) I’d blog full-time, if I could do it from a caravan stuffed with webcams and perky models from around the world.
We’d even find something charitable to do, like having models teach hicks and indigenous kids how to use the internet. Of course it would all be documented on the daily video diary.
“First you click on the — oops, my boobie fell out *giggle*”
There’s a blog for ya.
Milo, how on earth would you have time to blog fulltime if you were in a caravan stuffed full of perky models!!
By making wise use of the refractory period :)
By that point you would pass out from lack of blood to the brain. I suggest you use a stunt double every once in a while… —>

LOL dude, get in line…
Don’t complain too much Milo, you remember what it was like when business was slow.
