One thing I've noticed is that stuff never happens the way you thought it would. If you're taking a risk and pursuing something important to you, chances are things will go wrong in ways you couldn't have even envisioned. The thing is that if you try and live your life as safe as possible, consciously… Continue reading Resist Or Desist?

Characteristics of An Entrepreneur
I promised myself a while ago that I wouldn't ever write this kind of essay until I become a really successful entrepreneur myself. However, I feel that I've changed my opinion regarding this. I grew up surrounded by really successful entrepreneurs and as a startup founder, often surrounded by other startup founders there are some… Continue reading Characteristics of An Entrepreneur
Self Development
When I was 13 I started my first band. From the age of 10 I was really into rock, heavy metal and any other guitarcentric genre of music. One of the teachers at my school heard one of our songs and asked what type of music we were playing. I responded; "We play neo-classical, speed,… Continue reading Self Development
Switzerland, Veal, Aliens And Life
Here's a question for you; would you let aliens look after you? A few years ago I went to Switzerland. Apart from the epic scenery and mountains, the main thing that I remember are the cheese and chocolates. So much dairy has to come from somewhere and as part of our trip we couldn't help… Continue reading Switzerland, Veal, Aliens And Life

It refers to how we are often massively distracted by life's mundane tasks even when… Continue reading Yak Shaving
Multitasking Is Not A Myth…(Kind Of)
People say that multitasking is impossible to do. The human mind simply cannot process more than one thing at a time. As soon as you change gears from reading, to checking e-mail, to answering a phone call etc. you are wasting valuable time switching from one gear to another. Interestingly enough good organisations and highly productive… Continue reading Multitasking Is Not A Myth…(Kind Of)
Make It Count
Easy Wins Don't Count If someone gets the grades by cheating or gets that promotion because their dad is the boss then it doesn't count. They know it and everyone else knows it. What's more, because they didn't earn it they have no character, integrity or insight. They haven't learnt how to work with people, how to bring… Continue reading Make It Count
The Process
People focus on events. Whether it's when someone sells their company for tens of millions, or when someone wins gold at the Olympics, or when someone graduates from a prestigious University with a good degree; people focus on the event. What they don't focus on is the process. The process is the hours of work, of… Continue reading The Process
