Why can Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and many others head several billion dollar companies whilst many of us struggle to get one thing ticked off our to-do list a day? It would be…
#0354 School Limits
When I was on full school pickup duties I was super productive between the hours of 10am and 2pm because I had to. Without these restrictions I can spend entire days sitting at my desk…
#0336 Right Tools
All I needed was a hole. Making a small vertical garden on the weekend I was attempting to drill 12 small holes into some mild steel. It should have taken me maybe ten minutes yet…

#0269 Outrunning the Bear
Are you working harder on your business than ever only to realise you are making the same profit (or maybe less) you were when half the size? This is not an uncommon phenomena mostly due…
#0254 Order
I found myself tidying up the Tupperware drawer this morning. Every now and again I spend 10 minutes sorting through and categorising the sizes and matching lids. Why? Partly because I am a bit anal,…

#0158 It’s Groundhog Day
One of my favourite movies growing up was Groundhog Day with Bill Murray released in 1993. Much to my wife’s disgust I am still likely to watch a re-run if it’s playing on TV. Besides…

At the turn of the century, Dotcom companies used the allurement of pool tables, beanbags and subsidised cafeteria’s to attract the best talent. It worked. It quickly became the norm and an expectation that you…

Too busy… Too busy to make that call. Too busy write that blog. Too busy to start that project. Too busy to finish that project. Just too damn busy!! We start a task, it leads…

#0146 Do we really have a choice?
You may have noticed, things have changed. It’s somewhat difficult to comprehend the breadth and depth of the impact this moment in time will have on the planet. There are many changes being enforced upon…
#0138 Business is a long game
We live in a world of instant gratification and with it comes impatience. We want it all and we want it now. Business on the other hand, in most cases is a marathon not a…
