Let me take you back to 2002. I’d just completed my politics degree and returned home after 3 years at university. Now, I was faced with the unenviable prospect of discovering what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I didn’t have many ideas. I certainly knew what I DIDN’T want to do. I didn’t want to be stuck in an office for 40 to 60 hours a week I didn’t want to work solely...

20 years ago (September 2003), I began working as a tennis coach.  At the time, it represented a major step forward in my life.  Prior to that, I'd never enjoyed a single moment of the jobs I'd worked. I spent my entire time working in a sports retail store, as a bartender, at a call centre and working in data entry, clock watching and praying for the end of the day.  This was the first job,...

First, the numbers. Arnold Schwarzenegger has won 7 Mr. Olympia titles (the most coveted title in bodybuilding). Movies that Arnold has acted in (of which there are over 40), have grossed a total $4.5 billion worldwide and, at one time, he was the highest paid actor in Hollywood, commanding $20 to $30 million per movie. In 2003, despite being born in Austria and only becoming a US citizen in...

I first read Robert Greene’s 48 Laws Of Power back in 2021. After reading it, I was, in equal parts, fascinated and shocked. There’s no doubt that Greene has written a masterpiece. Deep thought and extensive research has gone into this work. Robert Green’s insights into what it takes to attain power are razor sharp, revealing how famous figures from the past were able to climb the greasy ladde...

We become what we repeatedly do.” This blog post will challenge you to look into the minutia of your day and question how you spend your time. Then, it will ask for just an hour and a half in implementing 7 simple habits that have the potential to cr...

What's this? Now, you may give the obvious answer which is an iPhone X but that’s not what I’m talking about. You may also say that it’s a communication device - a mobile phone - but that’s not the point I want to make either. While the above object is both of those things it’s also something far worse. What you see in the picture is a 5.8 inch dream killer. Yes, this device has the powe...

At the beginning of 2022, I set myself 15 goals. It was going to be the year that I wrote two books and published one, all while purchasing a rental property and securing tenants. The outcome? I only achieved 4 of my 15 goals.  By the beginning of October this year, I could tell something was going wrong. I'd already failed with a few of my goals and was way off target with most of the remai...
