The POWER of being DIFFERENT

TODAY I FELT EVERYTHING CLICK I was on fire I knew I could achieve anything I wanted, I set my daily goal and surpassed it, that was today. Now yesterday on the other hand wasn’t like today at all, nothing seemed to stick, nobody was available goals weren’t achievable and maybe I should have just stayed in bed. So more »

SO YOU THINK HAVE A GREAT IDEA

SO YOU THINK HAVE A GREAT IDEA You’re not alone in fact everyone I have ever met has at least one burning in the back of their brain. You see the Great Idea is one thing that we humans cling to in our misguided belief that we are special. Of course we are not special when it more »

Who’s Shaping YOUR future

HERE’S A HINT….IT’S NOT SOMEONE ELSE This year as never before we will be challenged by uncertainty and restrictive behaviour as the frugalness that tight monetary constraints incur continues.

So The Cups half Full…. Big Deal

OK I ADMIT I am a bit scratchy at the moment, this Christmas Spirit I am meant to be feeling is really tiring and seems to be a one way thing. Clients haven’t got into the swing, in fact they are trying to cram as much into the next few days as humanly possible. Which more »
