Well today was my first day in New York and I have to say it was an eye opener. I touched down @ 05.20 and arrived at my apartment @ around 7am. I was almost too wired to sleep so popped into Starbucks to get a coffee, grabbed some milk, cereal, bread and butter and then finally sleep took over. I was awake again within 4 hours and ready to explore. So... [Read more of this review]
Passing TimeWell it has been far too long since I posted on my blog but to be honest my life has been running at top speed and left me playing catch up. I always said that this blog would be a personal look at my business life, so I want to take you all on my trip to New York so you can experience with me the thrills of running a business when it is all happening...

Bright colours, oppulence, decandence and fun!Well I finally went to see SATC 2: Carrie On and I loved it. It has been so disappointing to listen to all the negative comments on this movie and hear people’s reasoning behind these comments. What did you really expect from this movie? It was never going to be an epic now was it? I don’t know about you, but when I go to the movies I want... [Read more of this review]
Read More Posts From This CategoryI always say the old sayings are the best and in this case I think that is true. I am writing this post whilst sat in my parents lounge looking out over their gorgeous English garden with the French Doors open and a gentle summer breeze blowing through the curtains. It is the perfect idyllic setting and great for my jetlag that has well and truly set... [Read more of this review]
What does colour say about you?I’ve recently been looking at colours in some detail as I have had to choose the colour scheme I want for my new house and it has sparked my interest into the psychology of colours, what they mean and what they say about me as a person. It was during my research of colours that I found out about the Lüscher Colour Test. The basic Lüscher Test... [Read more of this review]
To Show or not to ShowI recently attended one of our industry trade shows and it certainly got me thinking about the value of them. In a time when many of us turn to the internet for sourcing products and services it does make you question how valuable a trade show is. And it wasn’t just this fact that made me raise the question. At the trade show I attended there... [Read more of this review]
Read More Posts From This CategoryIf you’re like me then you will have a head full of ideas all claiming to be the next best thing. My ideas can sometimes come to me at the most awkward of moments. There is nothing worse than sitting in a meeting or chatting with a friend when inspiration hits you and you can’t do anything about it. The other problem with ideas is that they...

How do you define style?I think this word means different things to different people, but today I want to focus on business style. To me business style isn’t about wearing designer suits, having the latest mobile phone or driving up to your next appointment in a flashy sports car. To me business style is about being on time, having an air of confidence and being able... [Read more of this review]
A little bit of MamamiaOn Friday 30th of April I attended the first Business Chicks lunch in Melbourne at which Mia Freedmanwas the guest speaker. As a Mumpreneur it is always great to get out of the office and spend time amongst other inspiring women and Mia certainly falls into that category. I have always been a fan of Cosmo and was an avid reader when Mia was in the Editor... [Read more of this review]
Read More Posts From This CategoryI am currently building a house and as a very impatient person who wants everything yesterday, if not sooner, it has been an interesting experience for me. I signed a contract in July 2009 and I am now in June 2010 and I still don’t have a house yet. I am told that as I am at what is known in the building trade as “Lock-Up” I am only...

An iPhone App for your businessRecently I have spent alot of time evaluating my marketing strategies seeing what works and what doesn’t. Every now and again it is always healthy to look at what you do and ask yourself the question – am I reaching my target audience? What you need to remember with your audience is that they are likely to be getting younger as time goes... [Read more of this review]
A funny thing happened on the way to the…I want you to read the next couple of paragraphs with an open mind. This isn’t about what happened to me or the hysterical laughter that was part of this little adventure, it is about the business angle of what really was a very funny story. It started like this. Yesterday afternoon I went to the swimming pool for my weekly swim date with my... [Read more of this review]
