From my own research, I know that most people who read and engage with me on this blog has an obstacle that they are trying to overcome. That obstacle can be an illness, an annoying boss, not enough time in the day or a lack of funds. Whatever it is, it is something that is holding you back. One of the best pieces of advice I can give you for tackling this problem …

Have you been in this scenario?

You need to hand in a project at school/college/university/work and you are under a tight deadline. If you do not complete it before it needs to be handed in, you will face the wrath of your tutor/exam board/boss. You have been given plenty of time to complete it…..but you end up doing it last minute.

Why is this? I don’t know the exact reason but I do know that a lot of the time we work harder at reaching a goal when we have a clear …

The Dark Knight was one of my favourite films of last year.  In fact, it was one of my favourite films in the last 5 years. Not only was the storyline excellent, but some of the scenes and script I thought was amazing & I personally took a lot from it.  All the characters were great, but Heath Ledger as the Joker (RIP), was exceptional.  (Almost as good as Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects…..almost).

You will probably read a lot of quotes from the Joker …

The last half of the naughties saw a lot of growing trends; availability of Broadband on a large scale, online video growth went through the roof, connecting to friends/acquantances became easier and the gap between an unreachable celeb to the common folk decreased due to the likes of MySpace & Facebook.  However with the good, always comes the bad – and they can trend too! One in particular has been the rise of the Internet Gangster.

Urban Dictionary describes these “hoodlums” as: “One who uses the internet as a …

I have worked in music and online for over 10 years now and I used to think that it was just this industry where it was not based on talent alone to break in. However over the years I realised it’s every industry. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

One of the reasons social networks have become so powerful is because people are becoming famous overnight. Unless you were already a celeb, the 1 thing in common people who became famous all had were powerful communities ie, …

Ricky Hatton, Tactics & Flexibility!!!!


Monday, May 4, 2009 in Leverage, Real Talk, Sport

“When the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail.”
Abraham Maslow

I just finished watching the Ricky Hatton fight again.  Now I am no boxing expert but after watching the first 30 seconds, I was not surprised of the outcome. Why?  Because he was using the same tactics he always uses and was going up against somebody who knew exactly how to counter it.

Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao’s trainer, said after the fight that they knew Ricky Hatton’s tactics before they …

Good To See A Musician Using The Power Of Twitter.


Sunday, April 19, 2009 in Leverage, Music, The Power of Digital

Find more videos like this on ThisIs50.com : IF IT’S HOT IT’S HERE!

Yet again, the power of Social Media is becoming more and more important in the direction of music. Watch the video above with rapper Fabolous talking about how he changed direction with his new project based on Twitter. I like seeing or hearing an artist who listens to his fans and then acts upon it. Whats good about twitter is that it gives any artist (or anyone with talent) leverage to take feedback to their record label. If …

“What are you asking, if I don’t have the answer/it’s probably on the web, like I’m a damn tarantula”.

Sometimes the simple punchlines in hip-hop are the best and most informative.  Weezy sums up a lot in this quote about the Internet. With there being billions and billions of web pages online, 99% of things are covered.  In fact, it is harder to not find something. This means everything you want to know or become is potentially at your fingertips.

The key to finding your answer is the question you ask.
