It’s bloody hard being an entrepreneur. Anyone that pretends it’s easy is wrong. Getting even a single additional customer can often be the damned hardest thing. Which is why you need a fortress. Not a fortress formed from stone with flags on the battlements. No, you need a fortress to protect TWO THINGS: Your MIND […]
I am here to tell you that it’s not your fault, apparently. If you’re a dad who’s prone to embarrassing dancing then don’t worry, it’s not your fault – that’ll be a bout of ‘beat deafness’. If things aren’t going too great in your business then don’t worry, it’s not your fault – that’ll be […]
Why do so many people big up work? The other day I gave feedback to a coaching client on a marketing flyer. Only a couple of tweaks were needed. I asked her when they’d be going to print? “A week on Monday” she replied. Why would she say this? There’s 20 minutes work maximum needed […]
Here’s something to get your brain cells churning. It’s a biggie. In fact I’d say it’s the number 1 mistake that most people know. but don’t do. It’s not about money. People who’ve got money to spend make the exact same mistake. It’s a mental mistake that has to be fixed in the way that […]

Most people tend to procrastinate to some degree but apparently around 20% of people allow procrastination to stop them fulfilling their potential… and that’s the kiss of […]
On a coaching call with a client last month we came up with a real killer promotion for one particular business in their group. They went away and implemented it and the results have been staggering. Game changing. A five figure cash sum banked in less than ten days. Result. “How do you come up […]
Why are there so many people on this planet who do so little to improve their life? And the business owners who simply allow their business to tick on by. Why is that? Year after year… I’m lucky to have worked with many proactive, go-getting business owners. But even for them, at times they would […]
So many business owners (and our employees!) lose focus and get caught up in the ‘day-to-day’ stuff that can be destructive if not treated. Oh, we all know this, of course, it’s just that there’s a seismic gap between knowing and doing. It’s only the doing that makes a difference – which is why I […]
I talk a lot about responsibility. It’s a re-occurring theme because it’s absolutely critical to achieving big success, yet so many business people that I meet willingly give away responsibility for their future and for their lives.
