“Good morning …so here’s something really special for you today.” Ever get the feeling that the whole world is on a sales pitch? As a self employed, multi-tasking ‘all things mastered’ professional of today I found myself asking (again) how do I really get the right ‘stuff’ – the real business, done? Daily I’m bombarded…

We’ve all been there before haven’t we? You know, those situations when you say to yourself … “I should really do that now – otherwise I’ll never get it done…” My dear ‘other half ‘ reminisces daily … what Sue had forgotten today, she was adding to the mental list for tomorrow. I invariably chuckle…

The Greeks certainly know a thing or two about life. After all, our entire civilisation was founded on Greek philosophy and teaching. The following story goes back a way although not quite as far back as the early Greek philosophers (I’m not that senior) although it is thanks to the Greeks I now understand where…

I’m into Bonsai just now, it’s easier on the bones than digging the borders and I like the idea that once the initial planting is done we now ‘just’ need to give it time, some TLC over time. With the holiday season bringing more time for most there is a certain reflective period that many…

Driven. Or being driven? So what’s new? We all have that sinking feeling at times. Take a step back and smell the roses. It’s tough being us sometimes innit? Especially for the self employed, the multi-tasking ‘all things being mastered’ professional of today. It depends on how long you’ve been in business of course although with…

In business as in everyday life we make choices of what purpose to pursue, whom to engage or avoid, whether to answer mail, make that call, attend the meeting, leave ‘stuff’ for another day or clear the desks. We decide whether we beat the traffic to the ‘pumps’ via the take-away or hit the supermarket…

The Inner Circle thing … A guy called Bill was in touch recently and asked whether I could help him sort out with preparation to a press release he was writing. It was issues with editing he was having trouble with and even though I didn’t yet know him well and given that it’s not…

Positive: a desirable or constructive quality or attribute. “take your weaknesses and translate them into positives” It’s easy to be influenced by all that mainstream media brings to the doorstep, good and bad (sad), all of this conspires to influence our own thinking and in some instances, our well-being. These days I tend not…
