This is part two of “Get on a Plane” if you want to read part one click here. The “Get on a Plane” analogy may be quite obvious but, I want to impress on you the reader how much ‘getting out your own way’ is crucial to doing great things. On to the second story […]
Copyright
I was at a session on copyright and trademarking a few weeks ago and I came away with a few good nuggets, I thought I would share, as I know there are a few people out there it will effect. First rule of thumb, copyright exists with the creator! If you are the designer illustrator […]
Writing a Book
Over the last few years I’ve felt the growing urge to write a book, this probably coincided with the fact that I turned 40 a year ago. Then there was also the fact that my Dad had gotten in to writing, though he was pursuing fiction and I nonfiction. Two of my Dad’s brothers were […]
Becoming a Key Person of Influence
My KPI journey started officially back in November, but I started the process a few years earlier when I found a video by Shirlaws and it was Daniel Priestley presenting the Entrepreneurs Journey. Watching this I instantly started to listen to what Daniel was saying as I could see my own struggle of the wilderness. […]

Today’s science is starting to better understand the use of self-affirmations as a tool for self-development. Studies in […]
Get on a Plane 1
This post was a little too long, so I split it into two posts “Get on a Plane” part 1 and 2. “Get on plane” is a feature around a few of my failures, not my successes. However I have learned from those experiences and hope to help you see why. Both of these stories […]
The Power of the Small
5.40am and I’m up and heading down to make my morning coffee. I had hoped to be up at 5am, but clearly my body was not ready for doing anything at that time. So I’m here, just having read my brother’s response to my 1k-words-a-day challenge, and I thought I should write something that has […]
Work Ethic
Celebrating the unsexy things that make us successful. I want to say that I’m an epic designer, that I was brought up in luxury and had every want pandered to. I want to think I live in Monaco six months of the year, and I want to sound posh. But, reality is pretty much the […]
