Living and Loving Life

Over the last few months plenty has happened in my life and in my business. I have found that I have experienced a lot of growth in many areas since January. I am now thinking about expanding into many areas in which I would have never dreamed of setting foot in a couple [...]

Ze Good Deed for Day Number Two

Yesterday in the middle of the day I went out of my way to take a friend to an important appointment.  This particular friend didn’t have transport readily available to them on the day and asked if I could possibly help out.  I am thankful that my business day usually provides enough flexibility that I can help friends and family out [...]

Planning for the Years Ahead?

I’ve heard from a good many Business Entrepreneurs that December and January (especially January) are their quiet or slow months.  Maybe this is true for you as well.
For me and my business it has been the total opposite.  Things have really taken off in the last couple of months.  I think a big part of this might [...]

What Networking Groups are you involved in?

I am curious as to what Business Networking Groups are available on the web and would like to encourage you to leave a comment at The Virtual Rave or here telling us about the groups you have found to be invaluable to you.  I’m hoping that this might offer links to a wide array of networking forums that business owner’s can then go and check out at [...]

Stop, Revive and Survive!

You might know of the saying ‘Stop, Revive and Survive’.  It’s a well known motto in Australia which reminds us not to drive when we are tired.  It reminds us to periodically stop, take a break, have a stretch and maybe even a coffee so that we can last out the journey.  Somehow this made me think of work.  It made [...]

The Balance Between Good Process and Maintaining Friendships

In setting up and maintaining systems I encourage you to remember to take the needs of others into consideration. There are times when it is best to…

Busyness in Business

I don’t know whether anyone else is finding the same this week?  I have been absolutely flat out – and loving it!  I have plenty of work and more seems to keep on coming my way!  It is like that in both business and in life.  One week everything happens in full force and then the next week is so quiet it leaves us twiddling our thumbs and wondering [...]

Finding More Time For Christmas

Do you hear this phrase as much as I do? 
“It’s almost Christmas already, where did that year go?!” 
It’s Spring time in Australia at the moment as well which is the traditional time of year for a Spring Clean.  So this got me thinking…

How can I get through the hustle and bustle of Christmas and put the real important stuff [...]

The Everlasting Impression…

As business owners it is all about that lasting impression that we leave.  Honesty and reliability would be two key personality traits that would be at the top of any clients list.
To do a job well we need to have two things: expertise and enough time (plus a bit) to ensure our ability to meet [...]

Sticking to Priorities

Keeping busy?  I am – and I’m absolutely loving it!  The key I think is not only working out our priorities but also sticking to them.  If you don’t have any priorities then there’s a huge problem.  If you have your priorities set out but you’re not sticking to them then the problem is just as big as if [...]
