Are you driven?

July 25, 2010 – 7:48 pm

No, I don’t mean are you so successful you have a chauffeur!  I mean are you driven to succeed?  Do you feel some force behind you, propelling you forward, driving you to perform?  Is there something that just won’t let you rest until you’ve got everything you set out to achieve?
Many entrepreneurs are like that [...]

We might as well beat ‘em now!

June 24, 2010 – 9:07 am

With a national expectation of failure by the England football team in the 2010 World Cup, it’s good to hear at least one radio personality expects England vs Germany will turn out right

Values to Value

November 13, 2009 – 8:49 am

If you thought from the title that I’m about to tell you what your values should be, you’re going to be disappointed.   I can’t tell you what you ought to value, that’s something entirely personal.   Each of us has different priorities, different things that drive us to do what we do.    And [...]

If you want to be a leader …

October 17, 2009 – 4:20 pm

I had a thought today, in the shower. I was pondering how to get the concepts behind Opportunity Management in general and Opportunity Matrix™ in particular more widely known, how to get my ideas out there. In short, as I have big plans beyond just opportunity management, how to become a leader. 

What have you done today to make you feel proud?

August 17, 2009 – 8:05 pm

I am constantly inspired by the words of Heather Small’s “Proud” – some of the uplifting lyrics in it include:

“Look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I’ve left behind”

“I’m on my way
Can’t stop me now
And you can do the same”

“You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom”

“I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending”

“So what have you done today to make you feel proud?”

Each day I ask myself that question, xxx

Be a “con-artist”: get paid for doing what you love!

July 29, 2009 – 4:15 pm

I read somewhere a while back (my notes say it was in a Dan Sullivan article, but I didn’t note the title) that all successful entrepreneurs are essentially con artists – because they get other people to pay them for doing what they love, and would happily do for nothing.  Now I’m a great advocate [...]

Only lazy people work !!

July 19, 2009 – 2:14 pm

That was a statement made at Chris Howard’s Billionaire Bootcamp last week by “Lifestyle Trader” Aussie Rob – and it really struck a chord with me.

Opportunity + Preparation = Success

April 24, 2008 – 8:21 pm

Have you ever noticed how success just seems to happen to some people – you know, the lucky ones who seem to have everything go right for them? The type who opportunities actually seek out, like they have some kind of money magnet in their heads. The type who breeze up, wave their magic wand, [...]

Action Quote #3

April 15, 2008 – 8:17 pm

A while back I said I’d be sharing my favourite quotes on action with you, so here’s another one, from Thomas Jefferson this time:
“I’m a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.”
For me that reminds me that all the “lucky” people – the ones who [...]
