Amy’s Gran Fondo – Part 2 – Execution
The big day has come and gone and I am pleased to say the execution part of the bike ride was a success! Close to 4000 people supported the Amy Gillet Foundation for the 2013 Gran Fondo, a 110 km timed event with the extra 10 km decent into Lorne being un-timed for safety reasons

I have recently been on an adventure with a business colleague Jeremy Watson to Melbourne, then to Lorne for the 2013 Amy’s Gran Fondo bike ride along the Great Ocean to Apollo Bay, then inland over some horrible hills and back to Lorne on Sunday. So what does this have to do with business? Not

Are you a tart?
That got your attention I’m sure, but I don’t mean it in the way your dirty mind is thinking, so if you thought this was going to be a seedy post full of sexual innuendo, then you’d better leave now (sorry). What I mean by the question, is are you a social media tart, specifically

If you are a small business owner, particularly in the services sector it is most probable that you work from home and don’t have a remote office.

Business Coaching- what’s all the fuss about?
I recently put together the following article for Don Grgic from the Business Boost Centre for his blog-site ‘A Passion for Small Business”. It is not meant to be a ‘come and buy business coaching’ article, but more an information piece on what to look out for if you may be considering exploring the process.

Bali Observations Part 2 – Is Wi Fi the missing link?
As commonly happens when we travel, we take our gadgets with us, whether it be just a smart phone or tablet, or all of the above and the trusty laptop, I am sure most business owners (and non business owners) are the same. We love to stay connected whether it be to share the holiday
