The problem we all have today is the continual desire for confirmation or even affirmation of what we believe is correct. From a very young age we were programmed to believe certain things and so our beliefs are somewhat limited. Break the mold and set yourself free. If you think about doing something; do it. … Read moreConfirmation is a killer
Yesterday I mentioned looking at the end goal and then working it backwards. We need to also look at ourselves. Who are you? What do you love? How would others describe you? Once you can answer these and take in (as well as accept) the feedback – you will be able to see if you … Read moreGot a mirror?
We all have ideas and know what we want to do. Most of us fail on the journey to get there. Is this because we weren’t good enough or didn’t know how to do it? It is more often than not the later. I knew someone who would pick up a book and read the … Read morePut it in reverse

A Leader is someone you want to follow as they make you feel like you have learnt … Read moreLeader or manager?
When I was at school we used to refer to each year as a “Standard” not a Form, or Year or Grade (Grade is not a bad one mind you!) The problem in today’s world is we have forgot the meaning of standards! Too many people produce mediocre work or deliver just what is required … Read moreMaintaining standards
We all have lots of bad habits. I’m not talking about smoking or drinking too much (but you may want to consider those too). It is hard to effect change. We all have good intentions when it comes to this but it does not always go the way we planned. So don’t try change the … Read moreChange the habit
The most successful business people in the world are avid readers! We know reading is good for us and we also complain we don’t have enough time to do it. So here’s a thought.
