My dad always told me that to be rich and successful, ‘you’ve got to go out on your own.‘ Growing up, I always took this to mean that success was all about being your own boss or creating your own company. As I’ve come to realise, ‘success’ is not limited to being an entrepreneur as there are many ways to be considered successful. However, no matter … Continue reading Judgement Day
Everyone knows that as we get older, life gets infinitely more complicated. With each ‘milestone’ comes another dimension which gives rise to another set of situations where the decisions you make, will ultimately leave us feeling compromised and not entirely happy. However, if you can follow and achieve what I am going to dub The Happiness Equilibrium, you may just be able to escape this fate. So … Continue reading The Happiness Equilibrium
After my holiday arc and a book review, I thought it would be nice to delve back into a personal development and/or career post. For many people, finding the ‘right’ job is always a struggle. If you’re like me and have ever wondered if you’re in the right job, consider the idea of the three C’s. I found this to be a simple yet effective way to … Continue reading The Three C’s
Today I thought I’d take on a more serious tone in lieu of my recent cheery posts. I had my bi-annual career discussion today.

In this discussion of whether the idea of ‘appropriate discrimination’ is acceptable in the workplace, I wanted to introduce two concepts that would form the basis of my argument.

Part 2 of this arc will introduce … Continue reading Is Workplace Discrimination Really Discrimination – Part 2

It’s going to take two parts so i apologise for the delay in getting to the conclusion. Part 1 and Part 2 present two ideas or thought processes that will allow me to … Continue reading Is Workplace Discrimination Really Discrimination – Part 1
Today is a cautionary tale of being bitten. Continue reading Your Reputation is Everything
25 is a delicate age. By now you’ve probably been in the work force for a couple of years so you should have a basic understanding of how your business works. However, if you are not careful, a few years will pass and there will be no change in salary, skill level or recognition for your efforts. You will be almost 30 and suddenly feel like … Continue reading How to Get Ahead at Work
In life there are very few things that are truly important. Almost everything in this world is superficial and if it wasn’t for clever marketing, we wouldn’t own half the stuff that we do. Continue reading Why You Should Own a Significant Watch
