Whatever happened to boardgames?

Tuesday morning, isn’t exactly the fresh Monday start I was looking for, but nevertheless, it is the first day of the working week.

Just when small business thought they were getting back on track, the Reserve Bank issues another rate rise.

Small businesses need marketing and so many of them, just can’t find the time to do it.

The path to business success is never easy but as our entrepreneurial skills improve, our experiences increase and our understanding of the different business dynamics that exist from one organisation to another, it certainly does get to a stage that when faced with an obstacle, we are able to handle it alot better.

Something strange is going on.  A lot of successful business people say that there comes a time in your business life cycle that it either plateaus or the business fires with the injection of new products or services.

15 years ago… big hair, ghastly makeup and daggy clothes. Here I am with one of my best friends, Nicole, in Cairns, North Queensland on a girls weekend away. 

At the time, I worked in marketing for a large retailer and Nicole worked for News Limited. We lived together and like most girls that age, we spent night after night talking about how one day we would do this and one day we would do that. We both had big dreams and were prepared to put in the hard yards to achieve them.

Yesterday, I met with a gentleman who has a great piece of technology, but just doesn’t know how to get it out there.

It’s time to get serious. Very serious!
