I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger

I’ll start this post by saying, many of the following statements may contradict advice I’ve given in the past. Some of you may agree and disagree with the words that follow, all of which are based on something I’ve gained over the past several years. Experience.

Who does this South African Wordpess-a-holic think he is?

We get quite a few requests in our inbox each month for paid reviews. Almost all of which have nothing to do with business or have any relevancy to you guys and gals.

Thankfully, we were approached by a young entrepreneur for a review a week or so ago.
