There's nothing more frustrating than having a bucket of motivations and a few great ideas that you want to get started on when a bug comes along and hits you for a six. I've been laid up in bed all weekend and I doubt I will be back to firing on all 12 cylinders by Monday. Still it gave me a little time to begin to get my teeth into the excellent "What self made millionaires really think, know and do " by Richard Dobbins and Barrie O. Pettman. Turns out like it might just be a great read!

Does anyone really care about Wayne Rooney stubbing his toe?

I mean not only is it totally insulting to have the news plastered with the pathetic headline every day, but one of the guys from work decided he couldn't make an appearance at work because he "stubbed his toe" during the night.

I ask you!

This one is for Gem (my sister).... She sent me some Tim Tams (Australian Penguin biscuits really). She had taught me when I was last out in Aus how to bite off opposite corners and use them like a straw to suck up your coffee. The biscuit then melts from the inside outwards, you eat it quickly beofore it implodes and then your world goes white and your underwear goes damp. Presto.

At a recent BVBN meeting (BlackWater Valley Business Network) I was fortunate enough to meet Thomas Pellereau. Thomas is the inventor of the StylFile and CEO of the company producing it. It was an inspiration to meet someone of my age doing so well and hats off to him. He has given up his 9-5 to follow his dream and I hope it pans out for him. He offered some advice in the form of the following reading material:

Tipping Point

Mind Gym

and....
Body language

All of which I will be doing my best to buy and read before the year is out.

...but you know me: Unless it's a manual......
