The Fisherman And The Banker

This story has been around for a long time, and it illustrates a very poignant point. If we are continually striving so hard for success, we can easily miss the point that success is not just about the accumulation of wealth and power. What is it that you really want in your life. Think about this carefully, and ask yourself …

Frankly, I’m Puzzled….

Is it just me, or is time completing flying? Can you believe it’s already the end of ANOTHER financial year? I always like to treat the end of June like the end of a year.  It is a great time for some business re-invention. But today, I want to talk about an idea that many entrepreneurs and sales people fail to …

Are You A Lion or A Horse?

The lesson in this blog was taught to me around 6 years ago and it was THE deciding factor that took me from a stand-alone business owner to running a multi-million dollar company with more than 20 team members in less than 2 years.

The one ESSENTIAL skill that most people lack in selling…

This is a topic that took me two years in business to grasp. When I did, I made more sales than I could handle and helped a number of my coaching clients achieve the same. This is what helped many business owners that I have worked with move their business to a million dollar company in record time. When I started …

The people you meet in Hotel bars…..

I was having a drink at a Bar at the Mecure Hotel in Baltimore 2 days ago, and met one of the most fascinating people I have ever met…… The reason I was at the Hotel Bar, was because I was attending possibly the greatest marketing course designed, to help business owners get more results……. But the one thing that …
