[![Bar at the IBIS Ostbanhoff](https://i0.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2013/09/berlin-bar-thumb-640xauto-3274.jpg?resize=640%2C480)](https://i1.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2013/09/berlin-bar.jpg?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)Right now, I’m in the foothills of the most scarily busy phase of my consulting life since a few weeks back at the beginning of the year. My diary is looking pretty solid, bar a few gaps for content/consulting work that’s home office based until, well, probably December. That’s lovely for security of income and planning, but rather bad for my blog.

Right now, I’m in a brief lull between getting [back from Berlin](http://nextberlin.eu/tag/sd13/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), doing a frantic day’s desk work and admin, before I go into another two days of a big training project I’m co-[delivering with Neil Perkin](http://neilperkin.typepad.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

The big lessons I learnt from the last busy period were:

- Don’t stop networking
- Don’t neglect your shop front

So, here I am, getting myself going on the blog again. And on point two… anyone fancy a coffee?
