You’ve probably heard the 80/20 rule in business – 20% of your clients create 80% of your revenue and hence majority of your profits. What if we applied the 80/20 rule to a different application. That being 80% of your enjoyment or happiest hours come from 20% of your time. If I consider my time…
A good friend of mine happens to be a Golf Professional and Coach. So it was after much frustration I gave up the idea that I could work this damn game out myself. I also proved time and time again that you can’t buy a golf game in a golf shop. I decided I either…
I haven’t sat down and done a blog for a while, I’ve been crazy busy over the last couple of months. Prior to COVID-19, Deb and myself had our plan for the next two years, that all things being equal would get us to our next phase in what we would like to do in…
I’d like to tell you a short story about a recent experience I had. I promise it will take no more than 2 minutes of your time. Social swimmers like myself take our swimming relatively seriously. We swim to maintain a level of good health and fitness. It doesn’t matter if you’re an elderly lady…

We spent last weekend with close friends who were visiting Brisbane. It was great to catch up and just hang out. The weeks leading up to this had been very challenging and personally trying with my Mum passing away, within the same week we hosted a lovely young English couple – which was a pleasure…
It’s really simple – we’re born, we breed, we die. That’s the life cycle in a nut shell. Unfortunately some species have fallen by the wayside due to varying reasons, the breeding didn’t go so well for those guys. Without any doubt two of the above are certain. 1. If you’re reading this then you…
My darling wife tells me I have no fashion sense. She’s pretty good at this stuff. I’d say it’s a fair call, I’m not known as a male fashionista – unless that’s in a practical way. What I mean by saying “practical” is more like well worn T- shirts, board shorts or jeans that are…
I was really disappointed in myself. I’ve since made a commitment that I will make a better choice next time. So what was the big deal? Like all of us, sometimes life can feel a bit slow, dreams and goals just aren’t happening fast enough, a little more cash in the bank would be great…
