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 [...]

The 7 habits of highly ineffective people
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?
Personally I don’t make New Year’s resolutions due to the stigma of having them fail. Instead I set goals [...]
My choice to be broke and miserable
For the last few years I chose to be broke and miserable. After all… isn’t that what struggling entrepreneurs are meant to be? At least the broke part with a sprinkling of overworked and exhausted.
The truth is success is not as easy as everyone makes out. Well - to be accurate - I would say [...]
My crippling business disease
Many of you don’t know that I actually suffer from a crippling disease that affects my business rather dramatically. Without realizing it my symptoms can strike without warning and I end up getting absolutely nothing done. I believe this disease strikes many business owners but not many are willing to admit it.
I’m referring to the [...]
Is all this talk about passion in business a load of … ?
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 found [...]
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 [...]
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. I’ll probably talk about the seminar more in the coming weeks but today I [...]
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 [...]
How to start your own business
There’s a lot of advice floating around on how to start your own business. Unfortunately a lot of it is misleading and will cost you a lot of time and money. There is - after all - a good reason why most businesses fail.
The biggest problem I see is a new business owner who is [...]
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 I [...]
