I went to Chris Howard’s Breakthrough to Success event in Auckland in September and I must say I was blown away. The content he delivers is fantastic and while there’s a sales pitch it doesn’t get in the way of what you’re learning. I had planned to go back this time as a volunteer helper [...]

The 7 habits of highly ineffective people
In the classic book “The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People” Stephen R. Covey lays down the groundwork for becoming a highly effective person. Funny how that works since it’s right there in the title. But let’s face it… some of us don’t really want to be effective!
There’s so much pressure of us from society [...]
Improve productivity 145.749% in just a few days
Ok so maybe I can’t quite measure my productivity that accurately but I’m recently discovered a highly effective yet totally counter intuitive way to improve productivity. Over the current week I’ve gotten so much more done and actually ticked about twice as many things off my todo list as normal. I’m even about to tick [...]
Why New Year’s resolutions always fail
I think we’ve all had the experience of making New Year’s resolutions only to break them in just a few short weeks. So why does this happen? And how can we see our goals through to completion?

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. I realised that since it was [...]
Business success: Take action and follow through
Most people don’t realise just how important their mind is when it comes to business success. It’s shocking really and I speak from experience as I’ve been a prisoner of my own mind on many occasions. If you want to take action and follow through… as strange as it sounds you probably have to fight [...]
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. Now [...]
