An extraordinarily refreshing post on Men With Pens today on why you should not write too often. Refreshing, because it goes against the advice all bloggers get when they start out: namely that they must post a new article every day. That’s one piece of advice I’ve never followed, not just because I’m inherently lazy [...]
This is a hectic time for me because I was at the Macau GP last weekend (Formula 3 and World Touring Car Championship series) and I’m going to Kuala Lumpur this weekend for the final of the HK Classic Car Series, so a couple of short posts this week! For a while now I’ve built [...]
When I first got into Internet Marketing I struggled. A lot. But being up against it forces you to review your values, your priorities and what it is you’re really trying to achieve in life. I’m glad, now, that I struggled but I’m much more glad that I didn’t join the 95% of people who [...]

Except it’s not developing business. In this case one of the primary reasons is because the business itself hasn’t defined how it wants to be organised and [...]
That’s not the Stig on the left, it’s me in my Karting suit. And there’s a lesson behind that. If you’re the lucky recipient of my weekly newsletter you’ll know that I’ve been a lifelong motor-racing fan. Apart from avidly following Formula 1, I drove racing Go Karts for a while until I broke my [...]
