Positively Influencing 1,000,000 Lives
March 14th 2024 by
In 1999 I created a company vision. For two reasons: 1) Everyone was banging on about company visions. 2) I had nothing to lose. My business was stumbling and I was thinking about throwing in the towel. So, I created a vision to Positively Influence 1,000,000 Lives. And everything changed. I rediscovered why I was […]

Is there anything worse?
March 7th 2024 by
On Monday I made my regular live broadcast about the pros and cons of waiting. I’ll write about it in a few weeks. In the middle of my broadcast Mrs H called my mobile. She knows I’ve been doing theses lives, at 12 noon, every week, for the past 4 years, so there must have […]

February 29th and I had to
February 29th 2024 by
It would be remiss of me to not write about a Leap Year when the 29th lands on one of my regular newsletter days. The next time a Leap Day is on a Thursday will be in 2052. I’ll be 85 and unsure if I’ll still be sending you a weekly message. Here are a […]

Why you’re definitely above average
February 22nd 2024 by
Answer these: Are you more or less honest than the average person? Do you have a better or worse sense of humour? Are you kinder than the average person? Are you a better or worse driver than the average person? Do you care about your family and friends more or less than the average person? […]

Steve Wright and Me
February 15th 2024 by
Like many in the UK, I grew up listening to the legendary Steve Wright in the Afternoon. As a roofer, in the mid-eighties, there was NO OTHER SHOW to listen to while making North East homes watertight. So the leap from scrambling around the rafters with a sack of nails between my legs to being […]

If you think education is expensive, try…
February 8th 2024 by
“If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” That’s a great quote. Attributed to Ann Landers (Eppie Lederer), Derek Bok and a bunch of other chancers who wish they’d said it. Everyone claims they’re ‘always learning’. And to a point, yes. But the truth is most have lowered their learning to a leisurely stroll. Why? […]

Do you PP?
January 25th 2024 by
I’ve found myself being a PP. Have you? A PP here. PP there. Here a P. There a P. You get it. It’s… People Pleasing. And gosh, it’s tiring. Attempting to reply to every comment. Answer every question. Having a ‘yes’ attitude. Accepting too much. Taking on other people’s problems. The worst is when […]

Do you get nervous
January 18th 2024 by
Do you get nervous? A question that often comes my way, especially concerning my main job: Which is being on stage, facing crowds (that sometimes stretch into the thousands) and keeping them enthralled while I teach them the secrets of How to Be Brilliant. Talk about a keynote title that creates a rod for your […]

Self-driving cars are about to do this…
January 11th 2024 by
Imagine a world where cars don’t just drive themselves, but also chat with each other. This isn’t a sci-fi scenario, it’s the imminent future of self-driving technology. These vernacular vehicles promise to revolutionise our roads by optimising routes, scheduling travel times, easing traffic and elevating safety. It’s a thrilling (and yes, a bit scary) […]

Social Shocker
February 1st 2024 by Michael Heppell
The best business minds… are not on LinkedIn. The best video makers… are not on TikTok. The best socialisers… are not on Facebook. And brace yourself. The best photographers are not on Snapchat. And no one is on Threads 😂 Time to stop beating yourself up if your Instagram following isn’t flourishing or your […]
