I just got back from LeWeb in Paris, after having spent 2 weeks in Thailand where I proposed to my girlfriend and she said yes! It was a great holiday and Thailand is a very special place. This blog isn't about that trip, but I started with that because being in a relaxed frame of…

Jude Law and Elton John at Peace One Day Concert for UN International Day of Peace
It's not every day you get to participate or play a part in world history, but last night I was privileged and humbled to be in such great company as a Patron of Peace One Day being able to support them in their great endeavours.

Learning everyday
Life goes by so quickly you often forget that everything which happens, is an opportunity to learn even more about the world around you and more importantly about yourself. Curiosity about ourselves is what has lead us to being here in this time, inventing the technology we have around us, and asking those questions about…
It really does beg the question of truthfulness
I think I might have seen one too many website where people are selling some sort of business or personal development course, and I'm beginning to question whether all these so called "experts", really are truthful in their claims. The most recent one is some guy who on the face of it seems quite credible.…
Art is Arrogant
First off, I must apologise for not writing in so long. It has been crazy since July and after having come back from Billionaire Bootcamp in Portugal, I once again had a notebook full of new ideas to implement and have been busy creating new and exciting things in my life. Just a few nights…
Put Your imagination to the test
If someone asked me exactly one year ago where I would be today and what I would be doing, I think I would be hard pressed to say what has actually been going on. I might have said something like life is good and fun, and business is still going steady. Now that is still…
It's time to act, Day 4, implementation Day, moving beyond words
This is the last day of the Engage Today 2009 conference and what a spectacular event this has been.

Day 3 Growth, sustainability and a live interview with Sir Richard Branson

His speciality is certainly in the field of creating partner models which created synergies between businesses. He uses the analogy to equate building a train track to building your business from scratch, and instead you…
Engage today 2009 review Day 1, Accountability
The last 2 days have been an incredible experience. Far from the norm, I’m here in a cold cold Calgary, with a person who warms the hearts of millions of people all over the world, His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Before I talk about his talk, I’ll recap what’s been going on here at Engage…
Commitment with Compassion, the power of deeper understanding, Engage Today 2009 event day 2
Today was the day when we all get to spend some time listening to the Dalai Lama. We were asked to turn up about an hour earlier than usual, due to security checks that were in place to protect His Holiness. This was totally understandable, once in the conference room, we were literally yards away…
Final Day Report on the Ultimate Marketing Seminar and Moving Forward

Sometimes you get so close it takes someone else to remind you of the basics
So today I’ve been attending the Ultimate Marketing Seminar run by Think Big Education and endorsed by Chris Howard. It’s been a pretty good day so far and really inspiring again to hear from knowledgeable people speaking from the mind through to the techniques. Listening to the speakers really gave me a good old refresher…
