Only the foolish would think that wisdom is something to keep locked in a drawer. Only the fearful would feel empowerment is something best kept to oneself, or the few, and not shared with all.

I've found that trying to be like everyone else, do what others do and follow others 'guaranteed path' to 'so-called success' never really works for me. I have found my best strategy is to authentically be me, listen within and follow it....and then to treat and connect with others - wherever I can - personally, personably and individually.

In business, sport, entertainment and beyond an idea is worth next to nothing. The energy, effort, passion, talent, tenacity, strategy, resilience and resourcefulness to see it through and make something of it is worth everything.

All the wealth in the world is nothing, pointless - of no true value - if you yourself feel worthless.

Tanacity is the dance within the art of opportunity

Don't be so obsessed with stardom that you miss out on success

I'm often called in as a coach and speaker to motivate staff, teams, the public and leaders. The key to this is simple; you cannot truly, deeply and sustainably motivate anybody until you know what their motives are...what motivates them...?

It's unwise to be a backseat driver, passenger or bystander in your own life.

Too much time is wasted fighting one self and life itself. Peace and fulfilment emerge the moment you embrace both.

Wisdom is merely the movement from fighting life to embracing it.

Your job is to do your job with all your heart to the best of your ability. Life will go it__ own merry way at it__ own pace. But if you do then you _ and life _ will be the richer for you being here.

Your mind will enchain you. Your heart will set you free

See and live life for the wonderful gift that it is ...acknowledging everyone's beauty, flaws, frailty, strength, gifts and possibilities. Honour and cherish it and above be loving and compassionate. Here is the birthplace of inner and worldly peace.

Inner peace is the key to worldly harmony

If four of you are playing hide and seek you'll only ever find the other three. For you are already right here. So what on earth is it that you're looking for? You are the very thing that you seek.

To me everything in business boils down to this: do you genuinely care about your customers - or just their cash?

You can't truly, deeply and sustainably motivate anybody until you know what their motives are - what motivates them...?

It is better to revel in life than to wallow in it.
