When I first started doing seminars in the year 2001, I’d start off talking. And flipping slides. And then talking some more. And then two days or three days would pass.

Why An Audience Matters (More Than Talent)
The cartoons before the encouragement (notice, no colour). And then, along came an audience. 🙂 I was lousy at marketing. Well, let’s put it this way: I was (and still am) an outstanding cartoonist. And marketing was nowhere close to being my forte. I’d write, but I’d agonise over it. The only thing that kept […]
Why Do Press Releases Get Rejected?
As a journalist, I might reject your PR piece for lots of reasons. Here are just a few. Avoid as many as you can, and you’re more likely to have positive results. 1) It’s irrelevant to what I do or what I’m working on. If I cover health topics exclusively, don’t send me a release […]

I love the New Yorker (I’ve been a subscriber for years—yes I get it all the way to New Zealand). And this cover summed up perfectly what I wanted to say. Saved me having to draw a cartoon instead. In the year 2003, I went to a presentation in Australia. There were 450 people in […]
Should You Outsource Without Learning? Or Learn and Outsource?
You know the feeling of getting home from the airport. You get in the taxi, and as the driver wings his way through the streets, you know your way. Should the taxi driver dart down some crazy avenue, or decide to take you for a spin, you’re instantly able to avoid being taken for a […]
The Myth of the Sales Page
Imagine you want to sell a product, service or training online. What’s the first thing you think of when you’re getting ready to promote the product? Why it’s the sales page, right? So you scrub the page; you polish it; and you hope to hell that the customer is going to buy bucket-loads of your […]

Most people think momentum has only one step. That step is to move forward. And keep moving forward, no matter what the obstacles. These people have Plan A in mind, and by golly, Plan A is going to get done no matter what! But what if Plan A itself is a momentum-killer? So most days […]
