'Technology has helped us be so self-sufficient that it can feel old-fashioned or sort of elitist to think we need someone to help us keep our calendar, book a flight or research a new customer.

'One of my favorite toys is my Bushnell golf watch. It uses GPS technology to give me the distance to the front, back and center of greens - and a bunch of other golf data - for over 30,000 golf courses across the globe.   It's incredibly easy to use. You just turn it on when you start your round and it's ready. It even figures out what course you are playing and what hole you are on.

'There’s no finer pleasure than visiting a restaurant during its opening week. It’s never the hustle and bustle of TV restaurant opening night; it’s only on the fantasy Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares that you would launch or relaunch a restaurant and decide to pack the place. Without a TV audience clamouring for c**k-ups and catastrophes a great restaurant takes its time to find its feet.

The goal is not to remove distractions , but to gently set them aside.

'Small business, by definition, is something that is run out of minimal resources and budget. It is hence quintessential for these business owners to make the best use of what is available and thus extract the maximum mileage out of their resources.
