Wow I can’t believe how this year has raced by. Earlier in the year I started a personal project and decided to write an ebook as an introduction to internet marketing. The basic idea being that I seem to always be discussing the topic and answering people’s questions about what to do and how to get started. Anyway earlier this week I released it as a FREE ebook “TUI’s Net Profits – Easy Tips for Setting Your Business Up Online & Marketing it Profitably” I guess I’ve c... Read Full Story

Wikipedia describes Empathy as the capability to share and understand another’s emotions and feelings, and is characterized as the ability to “put oneself into another’s shoes”. This connection to others is both an honorable and natural feeling, but can also often drive us to do something that, is the completely wrong thing to do. Since joining the Fire Service I’ve seen many situations where peoples empathy for another has not only caused them to be unable to r...

I’m a believer in education, I really am, and my children’s eduction is very important to me. I’ve pursued high-level tertiary education myself, and I regularly attend business and personal development courses. But I’m also a believer in determination, passion and experience. A huge believer in fact, and sitting next to a guy in the Wool business one evening  after speaking at an Icehouse event, I was reminded of why… His story went something like this: He was s...

I love drawing and outlining at my white board or in my note book because I connect emotionally with my thoughts so much more powerfully and with more clarity than if I use my computer alone. In this video Milton Glaser talks about drawing while he is drawing, and makes an observation of art schools where drawing has been removed from the curriculum to allow time to learn software. It seems increasingly that students now have the creative tools, but not the emotional connection with their cra... Read Full Story

‘How did you become so wealthy?’ is a question I’ve asked plenty of people in my life. But the answer I got from a very successful colleague of mine when I worked at Xerox wasn’t about a product, or a service, or a sales  or marketing strategy. It was about a belief that underpinned everything he did.
