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

Bali business observation 1- Service @ Meads Bar
Let’s face it, Australia is a pretty cool place, with lots of great bars, restaurants and cafes of which we can go and enjoy ourselves with friends and family.

In this post I spend some time talking to Tim Hyde from www.the-riotact.com Canberra’s leading online news and opinion site, and true social media site in the context of the social media definition Tim refers to.

PC or Mac?
I think the time has come to look at a new computer and having been a PC user my whole life, and not the most tech savvy person out there I am torn between my choices. I found it hard enough just to choose what type of laptop to buy last time with only one
Not just a haircut- the ‘Wow’s’ keep coming!
Today I got a haircut- nothing overly exciting there, but I wanted to share the experience, and the satisfaction I got from my experience. I am an ‘impulse’ haircut client. If I feel the need for one, I will just walk into a place and ask if it can be done NOW-
