The 80% Rule
November 9, 2009
Working flat out? Have too much to do? What can you do about it? Put your prices up, because you’re under charging!
You’ll probably lose some clients, but with the extra capacity you’ll be able to deliver higher quality solutions, thus better value for the clients you retain. A good balance is 80% capacity, but you decide. You’ll have the same overall profit, your clients will benefit from you doing this and so will you!
What’s Your Most Valuable Asset?
November 6, 2009
It’s not your home, your car, your stocks, your shares or your money… it’s your time. It’s the one thing you can never get back, don’t waste it.
You can spend it, or you can invest it… it’s your choice, choose wisely

Whether it be a grain of sand or a rock, in water they sink alike
As I mentioned the other day, in What’s the f’in diffference the little things can be just as important as the big stuff
I’ve never made a mistake in my life!
September 2, 2009
I was watching a film the other day and it had the following line…
“A man learns nothing from winning, but the act of losing elicits great wisdom, not least of which is how much more enjoyable it is to win… it’s inevitable that you will lose from time to time, the trick is not to make a habit of it”
I’ve often said that I’ve never made a mistake in my life! OK I admit, that may sound a bit pompous… sure I’ve made errors, big ones! but I’ve always learnt from them, so I don’t see them as mistakes, but as learning experiences.
The day I stop learning from them, is the day I start making mistakes!
Brands Build Character – Character Builds Brands

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. What branding expert said that? Abraham Lincoln of course???

Build a man a fire & he’ll be warm for a day… set a man on fire & he’ll be warm for the rest of his life!
Watch Your Behaviour

‘Power’ is derived from position. ‘Authority’ is derived from title. ‘Leadership’ is derived from behavior.
