With the change of season, there has been quite a lot written recently about the comfort of various items of Smith’s School of English promotional clothing. What I want to stress is just how important it is to wear these items, and not just when handing out flyers.

With a wonderful wife and two great kids (so far) to provide for I realized that in the future this wouldn’t be enough to pay for school fees, medical and everything else. So in January 2004 I sat down with Smith’s School of English and we put into effect a plan. In September 2004 I opened my school in Okamoto, Kobe. This was also the start of my property investing. With an English school??? Let’s go back a few years.
