I still laugh about it to this day. There was this big storage container in a small park at the top of our street. It had no signage. And my son and his friends were curious about it. What on earth was in it? It was an obsession. One day when they were looking around, […]
I woke up at 6:37 am, and instantly knew I’d made a mistake. I had an appointment booked in for 6:30am with a big client in the USA, but the previous day was a nightmare… And didn’t set my alarm for the next day. I instantly knew I’d bungled it, and ended up losing the […]
The ‘5-8 People Deep’ Strategy: Unlocking the Real Value in Your Network I never really believed in networking, up until I was in my mid thirties. I was a “direct response” marketing guy. Until… I was sitting in Fiji on holidays, and realised a large percentageof my best clients actually came to me through my […]
Later this month, I’m going to be heading to Brisbane for Francesca Moi’s Level Up Business Conference where we’re going to be covering everything that’s needed to stay on top of your game in 2024… And that’s never been more important, particularly with the way technology is moving. Right now, there are two choices. Level up, or […]
Richard Feynaman, a theoretical physicist, once stated: “We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way we can find progress.” If only science worked that way across the board, right? The world would be a different place today. Instead, much of it has been taken over by corporate interests, […]
I’ve been doing a lot of ‘learning how to learn’ recently. And there’s this thing called mnemonics which all the memory champions use. Now the definition of mnemonics, according to the dictionary is: the study and development of systems for improving and assisting the memory. There are different ways it can be used – everything from […]
Obedience to popular opinion is safe, but it gets you nowhere. Think about it. Was Apple obedient to industry norms? How about Amazon? Or Virgin? Not at all. Regardless of some of the question marks around the backgrounds & integrity of some of these founders… One thing can’t be denied: They broke the mould. They zigged when […]
You’ve heard about the 10,000 hour rule… And that to be an expert at anything, you need to put in the hours. But is it actually accurate? That would mean every accountant who had been doing their job for a decade or more, would be a “master.” It’s not the reality. So what’s the difference that […]
I’m in touch with a number of knowledgeable people in the investment space… And what’s interesting is, they all have different views of what’s coming next. Take bitcoin for instance. One person I know is big on the bitcoin halving and thinks that’s going to be huge… Another expert is bearish on bitcoin… So what […]
When marketing your business… You need to join the dots for your customers. Let’s take the recent release of the Epstein files for instance, which have just hit the mainstream news. Many people who are busy living their lives will gloss past it and think it’s no big deal… A bunch of famous people were […]
You’ve been told ignorance is bliss, but that only lasts for so long. Here’s why: Most things which are good or bad for us happen incrementally. And when we’re not aware of this, it can hurt us and our business. Take vegetable oil – sunflower oil, canola oil, etc. It’s extremely toxic, and it’s found in most […]
