Content Marketing is one of the hungriest beasts in the world. Its never ending appetite for new and interesting content can swamp you with its demands. A lot of business owners worry that they won’t be able to find enough topics for their needs. They hesitate to jump into a content oriented marketing plan to engage with customers. As a …
“Change your life”, everyone wants some version of this. Sean D’Souza thinks differently. Very differently. Maybe it’s because he’s an accountant, a creative, a cartoonist, a voracious reader, a teacher, and an early riser (4 a.m. to be exact). With a life brimming with so many ideas and thoughts from all different worlds, Sean infamously vowed to take three months …
Are you considering going ‘Virtual’? You’ve been hearing about these Digital Nomads for a while now. Maybe you’re wishing that could be your life too. What is a Digital Nomad? Sounds like an exotic type of gypsy. Well in a way perhaps. But Digital Nomads are basically workers who use technology to work remotely. If you’ve been thinking about working …
What do I mean by distribute your podcast? – You have a podcast and in Nicole’s words, “If 20% of podcast success is content creation – I’m ok.

2017 game time. Rochelle showed me a post a couple of days ago about how everything that we’ve been through to this point was just practice. We have had an amazing journey of learnings and celebration. For me 2016 was brilliant and I learned a lot. My top 3 learnings from the year are: #1. There is no wrong decision …
I’m not very good with quotes but one that I remember is the one that says that “the only constant in life is change.” What is your biggest business challenge? We often get stuck between the comfortable and the new. The lure of new and beautiful experiences are so appealing, but the offer that the unexpected could happen is sometimes crippling. …
In my career I have been the assistant and the person that requires the assistance. I will go on the record as saying that these superstar guys (yup, leave your gender biases at the door) and gals are the backbone of most organisations. So many times I hear, “I’m just an assistant”. Well there is no ‘just’ about it! You …
Recently my life changed a whole lot, not for the bad and there were no traumatic circumstances that lead to several far fetched epiphanies about how I should be more spiritual, stop wearing shoes and chant.
