How many small business-owners hover on the brink of expansion? In the six years that Awa Press has been publishing, the number of books has increased, the number of staff hours has increased, our sales - both through bookstores and special sales, export and the internet - have increased, the number of phone calls and emails we receive every day has increased. The one thing that hasn't increased is the size of our office. We operate out of a heritage-listed cottage in the heart of Wellington. We love it here. We even have a garden filled with sunshine and edible fruit, herbs and vegetables. But alas, the time has come to move. So in between commissioning, editing and producing exciting new books, we are also perusing vacant office space. So far, only one place has taken our fancy. We'll keep you posted....Stretch those limbs today31/ 8 / 09; 11:16:21 AM
Apparently 80 percent of cyclists who do the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge
don't start training until September.
Some real layabouts leave it until October. On the other hand, I've seen an
awful lot of people on bikes hurtling along Karaka Bay Road in the howling
southerlies recently, so, yes, there are some bloody keen types out there
and they're looking good. One wrote that our book Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge
Guide has changed his life. 'Since I learned about cadence , my cycling's
improved 5000 percent.' We're feeling real good about that. |
