I used to have a spending problem. So much so, I treated junk mail like my personal shopping list, and deep down, I wished my life was like those photos you see on Instagram with dudes wearing fancy watches, in a driveway full of Italian exotica and a clutch of bikini babes draped all over…
How many of us feel like this? I feel like this almost every day! Once you hit your middle years, the demands on your time, your brainpower, and your energy are overwhelming. You start to value your time above just about everything. If you run a business, you know what I mean more than most….
Am I too late? Has life passed me by? Is it wrong to want a better life? What the hell is wrong with me? These are the questions I struggled with this time two years ago. I’d become a cliche; sitting there on the toilet at 2:00 am, thumbing my phone for answers: “How to…
When I was 10 years old, I knew I could be anything. My imagination ranged free and wild, unfettered by the harsh realities of what was to come. My mum and dad had already lived through difficult times and operated from an entirely different perspective to mine. Likewise today, in their 70s and 80s, they…
Most of us are trained to believe success is inexorably linked to the attainment of goals. But this kind of success isn’t enjoyed for long because that moment of attainment is fleeting. We reach a goal and then it’s over the very instant it’s reached. Failure to replace the goal with a new one then…
Two million in equity; that’s all I wanted. I almost got there, too, before losing everything I’d worked for. I pushed too hard; I went too fast, and I overextended. I had no buffer. When the company I worked for almost hit the wall, I took a 50% pay cut. My wife lost her job….
I’m as guilty as any workaholic gold star-chaser. I fixate on goals. Lately, though, I’m seeing they’re not the answer. It would seem we’re hardwired to seek out destinations. We want to get over the horizon, climb our mountain and catch the view from the top. But why? Centuries ago, we worked to sustain our…
It’s incredible how busy we all are. Even six-year-olds are busy. My 81-year-old dad is busy. Every time someone asks me how I am, I say, “Busy!” I guess my dad’s version of busy is different to mine (his is 90% fun). But I’m wondering how the rest of us got to be so…
Australia is one of the wealthiest nations on earth. Our standard of living truly reflects the maxim, ‘The Lucky Country’. So it’s easy to justify the way we indulge ourselves in material pleasures. We’re huge consumers. I’ve always loved toys. Motorbikes, cars, four-wheel-drives, audio gear, photography gear, camping gear, gadgets – all of them! I…
If you’re a parent, you know only too well how impetuous kids can be. Especially teenagers! They want everything, at the same time, and they want it now. Sadly, many adults behave the same way. In today’s Internet-connected society, we’re bombarded with something like 5,000 marketing messages every day. It’s little wonder we’re dopamine…
