I went to a fascinating talk recently by Dr Darren Weissman. Something he told the audience astounded me. Every pharmaceutical drug up for approval in America must come up against the placebo effect. And the placebo effect is 95% effective every single time. Every....

I’m taking a little break in Bali at present. (I’ll stop talking about it soon. I promise it’s just because I’m excited!) On Thursday I spoke of the busyness in the lead up. I realised in all the hub bub that I was only getting an average of 6 – 7 hours sleep per...

Phew. It’s been a busy week. I don’t rate busy. In fact, I don’t believe in it. But I’ve had to dance with it a bit this last week, believing it necessary to get ‘all jobs done’ before I board a plane to Bali tomorrow. (In fact, once you receive this, I’ll be on my...

Excuse me for being a little bit giddy whilst I tell you the news! I've been working on something for you for a little while now. And it's finally ready! When I started out on my journey from corporate high flyer to small business owner, I really had no idea what I...

I was very lucky this last sun shiny Friday to be lunching with my mum at a little café in Annandale. We were chatting away, enjoying our tea, when a little boy came bounding up to us from the street. He climbed up on the bench alongside me and cuddled my shoulders...

On Sunday I did the coastal walk. Beautifully vivid, turquoise blues were everywhere as I wandered along, breathing in the salty air. It was a gorgeous day if anyone can remember it – 23 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. (And boy does Sydney know how to turn it on...

I lost a ‘liker’ this week. A single, solitary person left my building. I don’t know why. Maybe it was something I said? It’s interesting being in business. You need to develop a thick skin. People are going to come and go. They are going to be raving fans one minute...

Earlier this week we had a bit of fun at my expense. Today, I’d like to get a little more serious. [Gasp] This thing called perfectionism is a serious thing. Many people are afflicted by it. (Yes, I’m likening it to an illness.) Especially when it comes to new...

When I visit my family it’s always fun. This hodge podge of personalities, temperaments and professions; we are all so different, yet we are all the same. Appreciating a meal together, my brother asked me, “Hey, if you make a mistake in your blog would you like to...
