    Out of the red and into the purse: ways to make money quickly (part II)

    To be honest, I’m always looking for ways to make money quickly. As the cost of living rises, rent rockets, and house prices soar, it’s not too hard to get into the red. But once in there, it’s always a hell of a lot harder to get out of.

    Of course, there are lots of frugal ways of living, but not everyone wants to adopt these. Sometimes we want to live the Champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget. Wait, just kidding. I always want that haha.

    Securing decent shelving placements no matter how small your business

    As small business owners, we often settle for substandard shelving placements. More often than not, we’re so relieved to appear in big stores that we wouldn’t dream of questioning this.
