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…

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…

I’ve managed to learn one or two things over the years, certainly one is that doing business is far better with friends: with people you trust, admire, enjoy being around, and with people who make you laugh. Agreed, there are good ways and there are bad ways of going about working with friends. Anyway, below…
