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
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 [...]
How easy are you to influence?
You’d be amazed at how much influence is used over us every day. From professional advertisers to children… everyone is out to get what they want. So just how easy are you to influence?
Below are clips of Derren Brown showing just how much our own decisions and imaginations might not belong to us. The best [...]
Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz Video
Finally got my hands on a copy of Psycho-Cybernetics: A New Way to Get More Living Out of Life by Maxwell Maltz the other day (thanks Linda!) and started reading it. Fascinating stuff about how we limit ourselves based on our own self image that’s been around for 40 years+ and yet it’s still not [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
The secret of success
Are you searching for the secret of success? Well I have great news for you… the secret does exist! And some even better news is it’s not even a secret anymore.
If you want to find out how to be successful at something… chances are there’s someone out there who has already done it. And in [...]
Why low prices suck
Following a discussion today with Ben Young of bwagy fame I want to focus on price. How businesses price their products or services obviously has a large impact on how successful a business is. Allow me to share a few thoughts on the subject…
Your price is too low!
There aren’t many businesses that can’t raise their [...]
The big barrier to selling stuff… you?
I’ve never considered myself good at sales. In fact, I used to believe I was absolutely horrible at it. The reason? Because I’m nowhere near your stereotypical salesman type.
I don’t wear a suit… although I do own one now for special occasions (grr @ social conventions).
I’m not a smooth talker… I often flub my words [...]
