- Put your holidays into your calendar early. If you don’t plan time off, you will fill it with stuff. I like to ensure I get a mini break every quarter (4 days off) and an extended break once a year (2 to 4 weeks off). Everyone needs to ...
I’m sure there are more, but I place stress and overwhelm into three main categories:
ONE: Things left undone (too many things to do in a short amount of time);
TWO: You are constantly chasing the future and never stop to enjoy the moment (high achievers can easily fall into this category becaus...
I’ve just finished a 9-day course. It was a big one, delivered online from 9am to 10.30pm each day.
I got so much value from this.
It was all about living in the moment and having peace of mind.
The instructor is a master at this. His presence was next level, and he was able to help us learn t...
I was at our neighbour’s place over the weekend. We have a lot in common as we both grew up on the land, and we both work with farmers.
We were talking about how some farmers get very frustrated if they see or hear of a farmer ‘selling up.’
They may even refer to them as ‘quitters’ or ‘soft.’

Are you stuck in the trading time for money trap?
Sadly – most people are.
Trading time for money was ingrained into most of us from an early age.

And our brains would visualise se...

19 Tips From 22 Years of Coaching…
We all have an identity, and we all operate from a set of beliefs.
These have been built up over many years, and most of it is now operating from your subconscious – which means that you might not even be aware of them.
The ego is why so people don’t like to receive critical feedback. The ...
Why do so many people resist help?
Why are some people so open to receiving help from others, yet others reject it?
Why do people defend what they know and struggle to remain open-minded to other viewpoints and receiving feedback to live a better life?
The most successful and happy people I kn...
Recently I stayed in a hotel in Casino NSW.
I travelled to have a couple of days with Our Cow, who I coach.
It’s hard to get accommodation in Casino, and I ended up staying in a simple hotel that was three stars at best.
I met a girl called Kylie.
Kylie is a single mother who had been stay...
My first business (22 years ago now) was a business coaching franchise (called Action Coach). I was part of a global franchise group, and there were about 400 of us in the franchise in Australia.
It cost me $80k to buy and then $1,500 a month plus 5% of my revenue.
It was expensive, but I was a...
Our succession meeting with Dad lasted less than 1 minute…
I remember the day when Dad called my brothers and me into the office.
‘We need to talk about money’, he said.
I was 17 at the time, and I thought I was about to hit a bit of a jackpot.
I was wrong.
We all sat down facing his offic...
