Do You Make It Happen or Let It Happen?

You’re out for a meal, but service is slow. Do you wave at the waiter? Do the funny nod thing to get their attention? Or do you sit back and wait, hoping someone will come over? It’s a classic example of how people operate in life.   Some people make things happen. They’re the ones […][...]

Why Distribution Beats Content 

Here’s a thought that might make you rethink everything: It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how people get it. You can have the best content, the most brilliant ideas or a game-changing product, but if it’s hidden, what’s the point?

Introducing – drum roll… Philo Farnsworth. Heard of him? No, he has nothing to do with pastry. Time to set the record straight. John Logie Baird didn’t invent television!

How I’m Voting

It’s July 4th and across the UK people are heading to the polls for the General Election. Now, I’m not going to tell you which party I’m voting for. That’s between me, the ballot box, my wife and everyone else who knows me! Instead, I thought I’d share with you ten principles and values I […][...]

What Happens When You’re Thrice as Good?
