Reach and exposure are key factors for any entrepreneur looking to scale their business or their brand and social media has become the defacto way to go about it. While Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are all viable and acceptable channels for this growth, a lot of people overlook LinkedIn. I meet a lot of entrepreneurs who overlook the value that LinkedIn can bring to their business and their brand.

Starting University
So, you're starting university, or you know someone who is. As a first year law student, let me impart some of my wisdom. If you're living away from home, particularly for the first time, you're going to want to personalise your accommodation. Whether you're living in halls or any other type of shared residence, personal touches will help you settle in quickly and make you feel a little less homesick. Bring photos of loved ones, pets, your favourite celebs. Whatever floats your boat. Bring your own bed sheets, your favourite pillow, a soft toy. The sooner you start to make your room yours, the sooner it becomes your home. At first your room will seem cold and bare, but once you've unpacked it'll seem much more inviting.

Every Day Is an Adventure
Today, for the first day in a while, I woke up feeling like I was actually ready for the day. My wife’s 5:40 alarm went off, originally set for I know not what, and now ritually ignored. When my daughter asked for some milk, instead of grunting and rolling over, searching for some precious extra moments of sleep, I hopped up and got it for her, started some coffee, and sat down and got to work.

Sweatshops: Shedding Light
I stood in the middle of thousands of local workers in a plastic bag factory in the Democratic Republic of Congo. My initial thoughts reflected sympathetic feelings, “hot, uncomfortable, disappointing.” I could not help but notice the satisfaction on a young boy’s face as he reached for his baguette bread, a little bag of peanuts, and a bottle of Coca Cola — a typical yet satisfying midday snack for a Congolese, a privilege/luxury that many are deprived of when unable to work in factories such as the one in which I stood.
