  • follow up … follow up … follow up …

      ‘How is business, Ben?’ Great Charlie, had a couple of enquiries last week which sounds just about right for business. Fantastic – take a donut! What kind of work was that? Well, nothing has happened just yet, I need to follow up. Now I know many of you reading this would have been in…

  • Be you, get naked

      ‘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…

  • The significant salesman
  • Commited. Entrepreneur In or out?

    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…

  • Vision through friends

    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…

    I was mulling over my schedule. It was 6am and I’d already jumped in the car for the first meeting of the day, a rendezvous with business colleagues and guests. There are times when I do wonder of my intentions. ‘What’s it about?’ I ask myself. It can be tough working from home … I’ve…

  • Circle or Square?

    Who’s happy? I asked. ‘I just seem to keep heading in circles,’ came the shout from the back of the room. ‘Great’ I said. ‘I don’t feel as if I’m achieving though, I feel I’m doing all the right things, for very little reward.’ ‘Widen the circle perhaps, maybe you’ve become stuck in a corner?’…

  • Know your vision of the future?

    Bear with me now … Do you know where your business is heading and what it shall look like when you eventually ‘get there?’ “What? Of course.” I hear you say. “That’s a natural!” Comes another … I know the evangelists profess the ‘only’ way to achieve is to keep that picture of the ultimate ‘me…

  • Routine and the glittering prize …

    Living by the coast I spend much of my spare time along the shore-line. The combination of energy by the sea, oxygen in abundance, the space, solitude (apart from the dog of course,) are a great combination for inspiration. I like to scour the shoreline for sea-washed glass. Just fragments of colour glistening amongst the…
