Disclosures

The contents of this website: HTTPS://SOLOBUSINESSMIND.COM and blog are written and edited by me, Richard Brecknock (AKA RichardB or RichardGB).

If you click a link and purchase a product or service through that link, I may receive compensation. If I provide opinions on products, services, websites and other topics, any compensation does NOT affect the topics or posts or opinions I make in this blog.

I abide by word-of-mouth marketing standards and believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity.

The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own.

I always provide my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. In rare cases, I may mention products that I have not personally reviewed. However, this occurs only when I am satisfied that the manufacturer produces high-quality products.

Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

Comments Policy

I welcome any and all of your thoughts – supportive, critical or otherwise.

Please note however that I will censor or delete comments that are:

  • abusive
  • off-topic
  • contain ad-hominem attacks
  • promote hate
  • use foul language
  • are blatant spam or advertising

All comments are held in moderation until I can get to them (usually once a day unless I’m away). Please be patient. If your comment is valuable and contributes to the discussion, it will be included.

I apologise for making the following point to genuine visitors and I’m sure you understand why I say it… Please note that ‘nice post, thanks’ type comments from “Buy LCD TV” posters will be marked as spam, so it is in your best interest to contribute to the conversation as a real person.

Thank you for your cooperation.
