Nobody is perfect. Nobody has a perfect life. There are whole minutes, hours, days weeks, months and even years that feel awful. Do you remember the Queens Annus Horribilis? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQFPtu78Tmw What do you do when that happens? Best bet? Grieve and move on. Which I know is much easier said than done. Grieve. Cry. Mourn […]

Marketing – A Pixelated Workshop
April is marketing month. We’re looking at the new theories of marketing. It used to be about AIDA: getting attention, piquing interest, and sparking desire that leads to action. Getting attention is becoming much harder today as we are all hit with almost 3000 marketing messages – a day! We have had to become adept […]
Book Review Cash in a Flash
Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G Allen did it again. After the success of They followed up with Cash in a Flash. It follows the same format of the story of Michelle on one side and the how-to part on the other. The take home message is that the only thing stopping us is fear […]

Me and Time
Time has always been an issue with me. I don’t feel the passage of time. I didn’t know that for a long time, because of course, I can’t see what I don’t have. On the other hand, I can park my car in a strange city, walk to a building, go up the elevator, snake […]
