  • Lessons from The Bridge

    It was ‘after hours’ and (unlike me) I found myself on my way to a pre-arranged meet with friends and colleagues at London House Of Lords (!) … ‘come along’ they said, ‘it may be worthwhile simply to take a look at the place.’ As I alighted at the station and made my way, I…

  • Leap year – pop the question

    It is well documented that our business population spends a whole lot more time online than predecessors. We know this already. ‘That’s a no-brainer! Tell us another one.’ I hear you say. Many of us understand that the personal connection is vital, that’s why were driven to add/like/share and participate. Essentially though, the real business…

  • Faith beats the monkey!

    Teri disappeared into the night toward her car and as I closed the door behind her I realised that the business I’m in is set up around a really simple idea… so simple I thought. I’m in business to help others become more successful. When these people become more successful as a result of something…

  • the plan for profit

    do you need to revise the ‘short cuts’ to success?

  • Unsubscribe, go on!

    “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…

  • It’s a like!

    I’ve never found myself entirely comfortable when presenting to a room full of faces. Happy, smiley or otherwise. Group presentations in my line of business are commonplace and more often than not I surprise myself by enjoying the experience. By enjoying I mean I find myself ‘in the zone’ and the message is invariably safely…

  • Take time for coffee

    Breakfast was over, I had grabbed a coffee and was about to head toward the office when the ‘phone rang. Now the other hand was busy. On the other end of the line was Tricia. Tricia had recently started a physiotherapy business and returned from holiday with what is recognised as a seasonal ‘gripe’ –…

  • My best friend

    “I’ve had enough.” Many times I’d heard this from Alice and never really listened … now I couldn’t help but notice, as she uttered the words, the decibels were definitely a notch or two up on ‘the norm’ and I noticed also, she didn’t look particularly happy. ‘It’s too hard, they’re not listening to me,…

  • Blame it on the Greeks!

    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…

  • The one golden nugget

    What do you get reading about elite performers … about their drive, their discipline? It’s different feelings for each of us as we hear how others set out to achieve ‘best in their field’ status – learning more about themselves as they work at reaching those goals. It’s great to hear of their dedication, their…
