‘We become part of the company that we keep, that’s for sure.’ I was having a conversation with a friend as we walked the local beach the other day. Brendon was up for the holiday and we were reminiscing somewhat. The dogs were doing their doggy thing and the wind was howling, but…

I’ve been around a while, discovered some success and I’m blessed to have been working with some wonderfully talented people. Over time I’ve also discovered that success is powered by three fundamentals. Your know-how, your reputation and your network of contacts. Sounds simple don’t you think? Isn’t that how it should be though? Hey, you…

‘Thanks Charlie, I’m back in a fortnight, without the doubt I promise, and we can follow up then, ok by you?’ Ben was away for a well-deserved holiday.

The lid of the laptop came down. ‘Snapchat’ now terminated … ‘Ok, so I get it, I need to be seen to be considered ‘worthy,’ is that it? Well, yes you could be right there Ben, it’s the ‘people buy from people’ thing, when people make those significant buying decisions they’ll want to meet up with…

Those in the Network see it daily. Some who have it and some who do not. Building the business is not simply about ‘showing up,’ it’s more about being there to set course and follow through to destination. Commitment. There is no middle road for the commited entrepreneur, see if you recognise some of the…

The coffee was cold, cake a memory and as I prepared to leave the office the mobile sprang to life with text: ‘Just sent you an email, come back to me!’ The number was familiar although ‘nothing current.’ Being curious, I did of course proceed as instructed and checked ‘mail’ anyway. Hey Charlie, it’s Jackie…
