ShareAnd a big hello to my over-thinking friends. You know who you are. As I’ve said many times before… Thinking: good. Over-thinking: bad. The Almost Brigade Many of us have been almost doing things for years. Almost changing habits. Almost getting in shape. Almost facing our fears. We boldly stand at the precipice of change [...]
ShareWas That You or the Dog? Motivation is kind of like flatulence. It comes and goes. Some of us have it often. Some of us don’t. Some of us do but pretend we don’t. And some of us blame the dog. For the flatulence, that is. But I digress. As is my way. So, what [...]

And to unlearn. Opportunities to develop new skills. To explore potential business ideas. To build new relationships. To observe brilliant people in action. To get [...]
ShareA Trilogy? In recent times, I’ve received a bunch of emails (maybe, twenty) asking me to write a final instalment in my ‘Twelve Steps to Get Shit Done’ series. Interestingly, I didn’t know it wasn’t finished. Oh well. What started out to be a bit of fun has turned into something of a minor phenomenon here [...]
ShareNot Just An Idea As you know, once upon a time the car and motorbike were just clever ideas. So too was the wheel, for that matter. Of course there was a time when things like space travel, the internet, Facebook, the Harry Potter series and even mundane things like long-life milk were just wacky concepts [...]
ShareTransformation is the Motivation Everyone who visits this site has one thing in common: a desire to change something (or maybe, many things) about their current reality. It’s normal to want better. More. The same can be said for people who join a gym, enlist the services of a life coach, start their own business, [...]
