We have a saying at Paul Mycroft Design which explains how we rate our success as a business and as individuals:

“It’s not who you know, it’s who knows YOU.”

What does this really mean? Well, your reputation as a business owner is dependent on the impression you make when meeting new customers, when networking over a beer, how you handle yourself on email, the phone, and when responding to negative blog comments, or when making a presentation. The impression you leave can last a lifetime and determine the quality of people you can use to develop your business.

UPDATE – Fake US $50 Bill

June 9, 2009

There are American $50 bills circulating Ladysmith which is fake.

THE LDBA RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT ACCEPT US CURRENCY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

One person has been arrested but the other is about 6 foot – dark hair, dark eyes, very nervous, claims to loose a wallet but has money and was wearing dark clothes. The police said that this has been happening for the last couple of days in Ladysmith, they have had a few reports of fake 50.00 American bills. They suspect it is someone local.

Stay alert and call your local RCMP if you suspect anything!
