I’m learning massive amounts. It would take a book (hmmm, there’s a thought) to share them all. In the interests of brevity, here are three of the biggest learnings from taking a chance on the Inspo journey: Belief and Courage are the Answer: Do you want to make a brave step in life or your […]
2019, I am grateful to you for: Businesses seeing Inspo as a brand they want to work with; My bike, for getting me everywhere I need to go (which extended as far as Portlaoise this year); People being willing to trust me to deliver work for them in the ‘unknown’ space; Finding a (legitimate) way […]
Today is your day. It’s there for you. The only question you have to ask yourself and answer is: What am I going to do today to make this my day? * All the days that have come before today are gone. They are in the past. What tomorrow brings is tomorrow’s business. The day […]

Inspo’s last blog focussed on the importance of the front and back offices. Both for business and ourselves, and our career. Another key concept that has emerged in more recent times in business is the concept of the ‘mid-office’.
