It is getting closer to the birth of my first child - between 5 and 25 days remaining! Every day I wonder what gender the child will be, what name we will give it ... but most of all I imagine myself sitting here on the lounge with a baby falling asleep on my chest... Continue Reading →
Lunch with Mentors = Motivation and Money
Amazing writer Mellissah Smith wrote this post all the way back in 2012 that talks about a book entitled Never Eat Alone , and says so much that I wholeheartedly agree with!

It's not always easy to say, but it's... Continue Reading →
Hand Rearing a Magpie
This baby magpie was found at the foot of a tree on family property in the Adelaide Hills. It's presumed it fell out of the family nest. It will be hand-reared until it can fly back to its family. Whilst some might think the natural cycle of animals would have culled this fallen magpie, the mother... Continue Reading →
Being an Online Entrepreneur
Wow, over the last eleven years of writing articles - I haven't written many articles about entrepreneur's ! So in a twisted away, I am answering the question of ... Why not? Well, I was being an entrepreneur, and online most of the time. What did I imagine 'being an entrepreneur' meant? For me, entrepreneurial-ism meant finding ways to... Continue Reading →
