Recently I discovered a fatal flaw in myself that I believe applies to most business owners. Yet when this barrier is removed it’s amazing how our productivity increases. I believe the scientific term is “I can do anything better than you…”

The fatal flaw of most business owners
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

Marketing for small business - Avoid these mistakes

That’s why small business owners have to become marketing [...]
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 [...]
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 by [...]
Increase your sales in just 12 hours
Both time and money are constantly scarce for business owners. I’ve been in business long enough to know this firsthand. But it’s a bit of a paradox… if you don’t commit time to marketing you won’t have more sales/money.
I’ve been struggling with this problem ever since my first client. What are the critical actions that [...]
World Internet Summit - Auckland 2009
The blog has been postless for a few days because I’ve been off at the World Internet Summit held in Auckland. It was a four day seminar with great speakers on all aspects of internet business and marketing. However I think it held a lot for bricks and mortar business owners as well.
Not least was [...]
