No CommentThey say the hardest part about using the gym is actually going.
For many of us the idea of going to the gym everyday can be daunting…but the idea of staying fit is something that we all want to do.
Sometimes going to the gym can be problematic for us: long busy days, not near a gym, slight injury, knowing when to eat as not good to exercise on a full or empty stomach etc etc. One of my goals is to improve my heart rate so a few weeks ago I asked myself;
“How can I …
Do you ever feel that no matter how successful you may be in a particular field, it still is not enough? This is a feeling I have frequently.
Professionally – you can always have 1 more client
Physically – you can always look better
Mentally – you can always learn more
The list goes on and on.
I was having this discussion with a friend and I said that if there was a film title that described my life it would be the James Bond film, “The World Is Not Enough”, as I feel that …
I was watching Dancing On Ice final (Don’t ask me why), when one of the male skaters mentioned something that caught my attention. They had to do the “Bolero” dance by Torvill & Dean and he said that every skater has studied this as a child growing up and that it was iconic.
It got me thinking about other sports and if I was a child, what would I want to watch and study to be a better sportsman in that particular sport. Here were my answers for my 3 favourite …

What I Learnt Today Was….

I’ve always wanted to start up a school based on the teachings that I have learnt from life. I feel the lessons taught in Music, Television, Film & Sport probably helped me more than any teacher from school and furthered my career than my degree. I have tested these in 3 areas to help teach others so far:
As a trainer in social media I often use references from the 4
When I helped improve Borderline D/C students increase their grades (B/As) in English GCSE coursework (was littered with references).
Whenever I am …
Most of my ideas, training methods and in some cases, taking action comes from 4 areas: Sport (Football), TV, Films and Music. So it’s no surprise that what I learnt today came from one of the 4 – The TV show “The Sopranos”. Carmelo Soprano said in an episode:
“More is lost from indecision rather than wrong decision”
I couldn’t agree more. I’m pretty good at making decisions. I’m even ok at making wrong decisions….but I specialise in indecisions. Here are my top 5 things I either must do or want to …
One of my favourite cartoons as a kid was Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner. I had hours of fun watching Coyote run and run and run after the Road Runner and never being able to catch him. Today I was going on a Youtube trail – You know, when you say “let me watch 1 video before I start work” & 3 hours later you have watched 180 hours worth of footage due to that “time wasting” function Youtube has called “suggestions”.
Anyway, I came across a video where Coyote …

The dictionary defines influence as: “The Power to sway or affect based on prestige, wealth, ability, or position”
There is a lot of buzz around this word “Influence” in the social media world right now and rightly so as this, as always, will determine a number of factors like change and impact. Kim Kardashian was reported to be the most influential person on Twitter recently due to the fact then when she talks, people listen…and more importantly, they act. I have heard rumours that she …
So it’s a new year and a new start for some people. Whether you have your own business, are looking for a job or leaving your current job for pastures new there is one lesson that will probably be on the top of people’s goals in 2011, directly or indirectly, and that’s cashflow.
I remember this time last year I was in one of the worst situations of my life to date. I was broke, my hands/Repetitive Stress Injury were still hurting (even though there were signs of improvement), I had …
With 2011 just round the corner, some of us maybe thinking about new years goals & i’m sure saving time in any way, shape or form will come up Ie. How can I get everything I need done in enough time next year? How can I fit more “me time” in next year? How can I leave work on time next year?
I love working with people who are interested in saving time and a question that I am frequently asked is “How did you become more productive at a very …
In '08 I started suffering from Repetitive Stress Injury & it changed my life drastically. I lost everything. However, after I had my pity party I realised I could do something about it and take back control. This blog is for anyone who has had a challenge in their life and wants tips and inspiration about overcoming it.
