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…

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

“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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

I took a pit-stop for a really good coffee and cinnamon bun (couldn’t resist) with a friend yesterday, we were comparing notes, putting the world to rights and generally catching up with business. Gerry said he’d become disillusioned with the current network forum he was attending. Seems the weekly meeting, consisting of a half hour…
