Having a software based start up is really popular. Mainly because the costs of starting one are so miniscule. You can literally have an idea and if you're a coder, get something up and running. If you're not a coder then you can usually cajole someone you know into building something for you or spend… Continue reading Two Key Things To Consider Before You Create An App

The Indifferent, The Early Adopters, The Haters
Being a founder is like being a school child again. You have to put your hand up a lot, ask a load of questions, then do the work to get to the next chapter. It can be scary putting yourself in this position, but it's a must. If you're a know it all then you'll be reluctant to learn and keep… Continue reading The Indifferent, The Early Adopters, The Haters
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)
Holding Up The Mirror
Every time you make a positive change in your life you will face a lot of resistance. Sometimes it's the people who are closest to you that will try to dissuade you. You might have started that work out programme, changed your diet to get into shape, or started to pursue something that is deeply… Continue reading Holding Up The Mirror
NHS Startup Part IX – Bigger Than Me
Putting something out into the world is a very strange experience. My startup is now live in a GP Surgery. What I'm loving about this whole process is how what you create belongs to the world. It no longer feels like I own anything and that I've created something bigger than just myself. At this point I am just acting… Continue reading NHS Startup Part IX – Bigger Than Me
Regulations
I find it really interesting how rules and regulations often stop people from doing important work. Everyone knows how it often stands in the way of justice, of positive change and innovation. Looking at countries instead of organisations is an interesting thought experiment. The countries which have the longest democratic history are the countries with… Continue reading Regulations
Disruption Looks Like A Toy
When the first iPhone was released it was flown over to Nokia headquarters. One of the divisions in Nokia had already been working on a similar product and was asking for some more money to develop it further. One of the executives held the iPhone up and asked the fatal rhetorical question: "What's their market share?"… Continue reading Disruption Looks Like A Toy
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
Be An Artist
Creating a start-up is like being an artist. What do we love about our favourite artists? Whether it's Leonardo da Vinci or Metallica, what is it that we love about people who create art? In my opinion we love them because they were willing to be exposed. To put something out into the world and… Continue reading Be An Artist
