As a start to the week, if you want to challenge yourself and perhaps gain some insights, ask yourself the following
1.What is the greatest dream in your life?
2. What does true happiness in life mean to you?
3. What is the most valuable thing in your life that you cannot buy?
4. What are your 3 most [...]
What caused me to join and then stay in ecademy, my favourite network, and to gradually move up the membership levels is very simple – the people!
For all of the theories about networking, Web 2.0 and now 3.0, ORS etc, it’s people that make or break a network; how open they are, are prepared to [...]
Ok, another question: why do you want to be wealthy? Take a few moments and write down what you will do with your wealth – done it?
Look at the list – how much of it focuses on your wants? Perhaps a car(s), big house(s), new clothes, holiday etc. Understand this; there is nothing wrong with [...]
Sometimes people feel that they are forced to take a job in order to meet their financial commitments; whilst this may be true as an extremely short term measure, if it lasts any longer than is absolutely necessary, then stress and illness will be the long term consequnce. Be open to new opportunities, and you [...]
One of the great gifts that we have been given by the Universe is that, if we don’t like any aspect of our thoughts, beliefs or behaviours, we can always change! No matter how young or old you are, you can always change.
Never buy in to the concept that you are too old to change; [...]

If you’ve got ideas of sitting cross legged, chanting ‘om madhe padme om’ to the sound of Tibetan bells, that’s not what I mean (though there’s nothing wrong with doing that if that’s what rocks your boat!)
There doesn’t have to be any religious or spiritual reason to meditate. The thing is, meditation is the best [...]
This blog has been inspired by Mehmet’s post today about ORS.
I’m not certain that the distinction between ‘connections’ and ‘being connected’ is fully appreciated. To me, connections is numbers, the number of people in your network. Many people brag about the size of their networks in LinkedIn or ecademy, for example, but connections are only [...]
Lots of employers and writers talk about work-life balance, but what does it mean? The work bit may be self-expalanatory but life? How do I know if I’ve got that right?
Ask yourself a question: what are the things you treasure most in your life? Take a little time to think and write the down. As [...]
Many people go through life making demands, stating their point of view, expecting others to agree with them… then wonder why they find it tough holding on to relationships, why they get overlooked for promotion and why they find it hard keeping clients. If this applies to you, then spend a week asking questions, as [...]
Imagine a plane in the clear blue sky; behind it is a long vapour trail, that shows the history of the plane’s journey. Ahead of it, in the distance, is the destination airport.
Who is flying the plane? Can the vapour trail pilot it? Of course not, yet how many people allow their past, their histories, [...]
