What does success look like? It’s fair to say that we’re living in some interesting times. People are launching lucrative careers through video platforms, such as YouTube, and making money from the number of social media followers they have. Good luck to those who are doing it, of course, but in this celebrity-driven era it’s…
Successful people didn’t just get that way because they had a unique idea. Sure, coming up with something original probably helped them, but it wasn’t the only reason they reached the top. The people that aim for the stars also understand that they need to be emotionally intelligent if they want to succeed. What does…
I don’t know about you, but there have been times in my life when I’ve had to give up certain things. No one likes doing this, especially if what you’re giving up is enjoyable stuff! New Year’s resolutions are all about giving up what is not good us in the long-term. It could be too…
Remember when people made phone calls? Whenever you needed to know something, you just picked up the phone and called them. These days, we’re all chained to our laptops, emailing each other day and night. Did you get the report? What do you think about this approach? Email is a wonderful tool, but like social…
Turn on the news and you’ll see plenty of people in hot water over mistakes they’ve made. There are some pretty powerful people out there, I’m sure you’ll agree, who make expensive and damaging errors every day. Now, I’m not saying that’s OK or that they shouldn’t take responsibility for what’s happened. But my point…
Many people think that in order to be successful they need to be perfect — perfect at business, perfect at the gym, and perfect when socialising with friends. I’m here to tell you that’s not the case, and there’s no need to place that much pressure on yourself. As I’ve written before, determination and persistence are…
I love a good idea. I also love hearing other people’s good ideas and then watching them take shape. Throughout my career, I’ve had many people come up to talk to me about their great ideas. Now, as you probably have guessed, I didn’t necessarily agree with them that their idea was great, or would even…
If you asked a random sample of workers whether they want the top job how many would say yes? Probably quite a few. CEOs, after all, earn a lot of money. They also influence and shape their organisation, and they’re working at the forefront of what they do. If a CEO is really good, if…
I’ve worked with quite a few self-made men and women over the years. These are the people who have impressed me with their level-headed approach to wealth and achieving success. They walk the walk and not just talk the talk, and it shows in their achievements. Very often these people come in pairs. What do…
Newspapers and magazines are full of stories about work-life balance — why it’s important, how to achieve it, and why so many people struggle to maintain it. It’s a relatively new buzzword and, like all fads, is sure to be replaced at some point by another new one! But I want to talk a bit today…
