There’s something I want to talk about today that I’m seeing a lot of right now and I’m really fearing for a lot of small business owners because of it. In fact it’s the thing I think is creating the most danger for a lot of the small business owners in my community – and I’m seeing it over and…

In this week’s video I’m owning up to the fact that I have not created any new content to send to you in this way since May last year. (But you might not even have noticed… and that’s another thing I talk about in the video). Now eight months is long time without creating any new content, particularly if you…

A few years ago I ran a poll as part of a webinar I was running on “heart-centred sales”. To my surprise over half of the respondents answered that their biggest sales challenge was “Closing the Sale”.

Over the years I’ve learned that taking a “proper” holiday (as opposed to a “working” holiday – I love to take those too) twice each year is absolutely essential for giving me the clarity…

Last week I was working on a really important project but found myself getting stuck and just not making the sort of progress I wanted to. I ended up spending a whole day yet at the end felt I wasn’t getting anywhere and as a result was feeling really frustrated and unhappy with myself. Until I realised what it was…

Happy New Year! New Years always have that bit of extra meaning to me because my birthday falls on 30th December so it’s a new “age year” as well as calendar year, which gives any planning or intention setting that bit of extra significance. I like to do my planning for the year in early January, when my head is…

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…
