Taking a Small Business Into the New Year

Like most other people there was a time when I made New Year resolutions - and like most people I never managed to carry those resolutions beyond the end of the first week in January.

From there I went through a period not even thinking about making resolutions - what was the point if you always fell back into your old ways?

But the urge to make resolutions is a little hard to resist and hit has struck me again. Perhaps this time I might actually keep some of them because it’s something born out of necessity that I somehow have to fit into an already busy work schedule.

So this year, although it’s a little late, I’ve resolved to set aside an hour a day to learn some new coding skills. A reasonable amount of our business is centred around websites and there was a time when I could write HTML by hand just as quickly as I am typing this.

That was back in the days of HTML 3 and the code used in web pages as moved a long way forward since then. So it’s time for me to catch up and that’s why I need to relearn those skills.

What about you? What skills do you need to take time to brush up on?
