Travelling the world talking to business people can sometimes make everything seem so much more clearer.

This morning, I woke up to the sounds of vroom, vroom, vroom and instantly, I thought I could smell burning rubber.

The rev-heads were out soaking up the smell of burning rubber at the 2010 Qantas Grand Prix at Albert Park on the weekend.

It’s a page 13 3/4 page story in The Sunday Telegraph that’s caught my eye today whilst reading my beloved Sunday papers and it has reminded me the value of online networks, people who have significant brand names and the media.

Tuesday morning, isn’t exactly the fresh Monday start I was looking for, but nevertheless, it is the first day of the working week.

Just when small business thought they were getting back on track, the Reserve Bank issues another rate rise.

Hi,

I am one of those people that has been fortunate enough in life to have been brought up in a safe, loving environment where there was always beautiful food on the table, holidays and plenty of good times.

Small businesses need marketing and so many of them, just can’t find the time to do it.

Something strange is going on.  A lot of successful business people say that there comes a time in your business life cycle that it either plateaus or the business fires with the injection of new products or services.

15 years ago… big hair, ghastly makeup and daggy clothes. Here I am with one of my best friends, Nicole, in Cairns, North Queensland on a girls weekend away. 

At the time, I worked in marketing for a large retailer and Nicole worked for News Limited. We lived together and like most girls that age, we spent night after night talking about how one day we would do this and one day we would do that. We both had big dreams and were prepared to put in the hard yards to achieve them.
