Clean start-Audit time By John Rahme An audit can be very daunting and scary experience, bringing in an unfamiliar face and a stranger to give you advice on where your business has been and is gone wrong. It’s hard not to be offended by suggestions that the auditor makes as it suggests to you that you are not capable of managing your own business.

Training Plan
Training Plan Ashley Jones Just finished a workout and thought you may be interested in what we are currently doing. My dear friend and colleague, Damian Marsh, has asked me to use more commas and full stops in my writing, so here goes. Firstly, why do I strength/power train.
