Do You Want To Live Forever?

I had an e-mail the other day from sales and marketing guru and all round good guy Bob Poole.  I always enjoy reading Bob’s e-mails because he invariably makes me laugh out loud and he seems to be a one man disaster zone when it comes to weather mishaps. I don’t care how many feet of snow or inches…

I’m Stressed Senseless

“You sound really stressed man” Such was the comment a friend made to me on the phone the other day. I paused for a minute and was about to say, “Nah, I’m good” when I realized my wife had said the very same thing the previous day. My initial reaction in both cases was to deny I was stressed,…

Are You Screwing Your Kids Up?

Did you know that skin damage caused through over exposure to the suns rays is irreparable? Did you also know that most damage is done before somebody reaches the age of 18, but often doesn’t manifest itself until years, sometimes even decades later. If you are a parent I’m guessing you may well have already known both those facts…

The Real Purpose of News

Sheep reading newspaper

So there I was minding other peoples business on Twitter when somebody made a comment about Balloon Boy. I had no idea what they were talking about and foolishly said so.

I get a lot of people that come to see me that think there’s something wrong with them because they are approaching or even in their forties and on occasions fifties and don’t know what to do with their life. I spoke of this in the post You’re Not Alone, but I want to go all self-indulgent and share…

Selling Out To Amazon

As you may or may not know I’m currently co-authoring an e-book with best-selling author John Strelecky, called ‘How To Be Rich and Happy’. It’s taking a great deal of my time, not least of which because John selfishly took himself off to China on some supposedly work-related vacation. That’s what you get when you work with a man…
