I was just watching a great interview with Gary Vaynerchuk done by Dean Hunt and Ciaran Doyle. Combined with another one from Perry Belcher (from my paid GKIC membership) it’s got me thinking about how passion and business mix. I’ve had this discussion with my friend Mark a lot as well but we’ve never really [...]

Choosing a business model that actually makes money
Choosing a business model is hard… and a lot more important than most business owners believe. It’s also a major reason why most businesses don’t make much money – or if they do – still have poor cash flow. A lot of this can be avoided before the business is even officially launched. Retail is [...]
Chris Howard – Breakthrough to Success Review
I attended Chris Howard’s Breakthrough to Success event in Auckland, NZ on the 4 – 6th September 2009. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went in but was curious to learn more about Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP) and was offered free tickets so thought what the heck.

Are you holding yourself back like these people?
I just spent the last 3 days in the most incredible seminar (for lack of a better word) of my life. It’s called Breakthrough to Success and I’d recommend absolutely anyone to go… however that’s not the point of this post.

Unique marketing ideas don’t work…
Last night I was up until 2:41am and I realised something… unique marketing ideas don’t work. Well not as well as we’d like them to work anyway. This was brought on by rereading Seth Godin’s classic Purple Cow. Seth was talking about how marketing is not an afterthought… but an integral part of product design. [...]
A positive mental attitude is mandatory
A positive mental attitude can mean the difference between success and failure in any aspect of life. But I’m not talking about some hairy-fairy pie-in-the-sky type of positive attitude. I’m talking about a strong belief in yourself and the mental fortitude to overcome all obstacles. Life is hard… get over it. But what you and [...]
Simpleology review – My success story
I thought I’d do a quick Simpleology review for you to follow up on my post yesterday about the secret of success. Now the first question you’ll have is probably “What the hell is Simpleology?” Seems like a good place to start. Simpleology is a method of achieving your dream life that has been developed [...]
