It is both beautiful and horrific at the same time. From someone who has had the joy of three children learning to play instruments I can talk first hand as to the pain and pleasure…
Some Sydneysiders would argue we have the most beautiful harbour in the world with its centrepiece being the Sydney Harbour Bridge. In all its engineering beauty it can also be Sydneys biggest bottleneck. If ever…
Running a business is a little bit like having kids. Impossible to describe to a newbie and no-one can fully appreciate the rollercoaster ride until strapped in and the go button is pushed. Like it…
There is plenty of both… Time and money. Whatever you have you choose to either use it or abuse it. Why do something now that can wait until tomorrow. Focus on the things that will…
Autopilot is another way to describe habits. Getting up at a certain time, putting your shoes on a certain way, driving the same route to work. We form these through our lives as a way…
Every two weeks or so one of my daughters gives her room a good clean. Puts everything in its place again and it drive me insane. Not the cleaning part, that I applaud. The 13…
Well before social media there are countless examples of enduring personal brands. Napoleon, Shakespeare, Darwin, Einstein and the list goes on. Of course back then you had to have done something of historical significance which…
