  • The process, al fresco

    I enjoy times in the garden. Family, a cool drink, good food. It’s several years living where I am now in Northumberland and during that time I’ve had the use of three cookers, three BBQ’s. One of those was a store-bought item, the usual piece of soft metal and Allen keys, combined with plastic and…

  • Why finding referrals is like a game of tennis. (Almost.)

    Some of us find it easy to generate meaningful referrals. Others? Well, they find this not quite so easy. Take your game of tennis. It’s booked well in advance, you know your opponent and so in the interests of a good competitive match you study the form, watch his/her game and assess your chances come…

  • Dream on

    So Doug said that I was only looking out for myself, lining my own pockets and that I really only make ‘it’ all up as I go along … There are times when hearing a declaration such as this that I deny all knowledge, refute the evidence and argue until I was almost ‘blue in…

  • Embrace the Process

    The trouble with the process? Here’s the deal … a friend of mine has just found a certain amount of recognition with a rock band he is working with. See Nervus. I’ve known him a while, since he was a youngster and when catching up recently I was pleasantly surprised to see the confident young fella…

  • Stop the car!

    same old routine, same results

  • Risk and the dogsbody

  • Your story?

    So, what’s your story? How do you, stick in the mind? All around us media often appears full of ‘stuff’ that’s intended ~ just for you ~ right at those ‘peak times,’ perhaps that ‘stuff’ hits you just before you jump in the car and head off to the office? Over the car radio or during lunch…

  • Faith in me

    Mike and I have faith in a similar business field. I’m committed to spending my time building professional networks, I’m told that I’m good at what I do, my experience over the years has brought out the best in others and although it’s business at the sharp end, real ‘trenches stuff,’ it’s hugely satisfying. Today…

  • Authentic

    Michael Peterson passed in 2012. He is recognised as one of the greatest surfers, an authentic Australian ‘someone’ who set the bar for Australian surfing in the mid-seventies. His aggressive, no-nonsense style was all his own at a time when Midget Farrelly and Nat Young were dominating. Michael was the son of a doting Jean, growing up…
