Just ask Hilary. People buy from people. With the spotlight on choices by the people and some monumental personal decisions on both sides of ‘the pond’ this year, it is never been so blindingly obvious: “I’ve learned that people forget what you said, …

Bill and I were discussing business over coffee and a magnificent ‘sticky bun’ the other morning. More reflection than current news. The state of ‘people politics’ was popular, as was all things general when Bill suddenly said… ‘I’m really not looking forward to the New Year Charlie. I’m not sure we can carry our existing…

It wasn’t a planned stay, we happened to react to an invitation – perhaps because we were at the right place/right time, we were available. Our hosts here in Broome were planning on a 4500km road trip next morning to Brisbane and were looking for a house-sitter: “Here you go Charlie, take the keys. Look after…

So here’s the scenario… ‘Looking forward to seeing you at conference Tim.’ Says I. To which Tim’s reply was … ‘Hey, yeah but sorry I cannot make that date now, I need to be elsewhere and I don’t want to let them down.’ Let THEM down … Most of us understand that the best kind of…

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…

Writing for leisure should be an enjoyable experience, an outlet where you can express your own personal views and tell a story or two. Ian had reached a hiatus to his latest manuscript and decided to ‘down tools’ for a bit so I ‘put the kettle on.’ Working with a new author can be rewarding,…

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…
