I created this video a number of years ago just as I was celebrating my 6th year in business (I recently celebrated my 10th!). However while it was recorded a few years ago, everything I say is as relevant today as it was then. In it I talk about some of the key milestones I passed during my first two…

“Heart-Centred” is a phrase that I use a lot when talking about my approach to business. I first heard it at a time when I was struggling to define who I was in business and who I was here to serve.

I gave myself permission to get off to a slow start this year and January has mainly been focused on Planning and Learning – in fact I finished my 2022 Planning only yesterday! A friend pointed out that my timing is perfect as the Chinese New Year starts today, and many people consider this the “true” start to the year. …

For me it’s true to say that my first few years felt like navigating from inside a bank of fog. I didn’t have any sense of where I was going or what I really needed to do to get there. Even when things were “working” I often didn’t know why, or know what I was supposed to do next from…

I shot this Facebook live almost a couple of years ago now in snowy Toronto while attending a Mastermind with my business mentor Stu McLaren.

Today’s blog post is prompted by a question that was asked during a webinar I held some time ago.

It’s early September again, with that “back to school” feel – not only if you’ve got kids, but for all of us who took time off over the summer as we gear up ready to get back into the flow of work and business. There is one thing I am guaranteed to hear several times a day at the moment…
