Way back in 2008 I first published these five days on Kangaroo Island under separate articles. Last night I decided to put them all together and publish as one. It's really just a bunch of written journal entries, talking about that weekend Sarah and I helped her parents moved their life from a farm at... Continue Reading →
In the past few days, I've come to understand how AI prompts are structured, and it's been quite the revelation.

I’ve learnt that how I start my morning sets the tone for the whole day—especially working online, running my own business, juggling creative projects, and wearing a dozen different hats before breakfast. If I don’t take control early, the day tends to take control of me. Over time I’ve built a simple but solid morning... Continue Reading →

Let’s be real — life is NOT a leisurely stroll down the jetty. It’s more like juggling chainsaws while riding a unicycle uphill… in the rain. Ever felt like this? Struggling to finish what you start? Procrastination has set up a tent in your head? Waking up more knackered than when you hit the pillow?... Continue Reading →
For me, blogging isn't just about spinning tales or sharing cold, hard facts. It's a canvas where I paint the vivid picture of my entrepreneurial and family life – the highs, the practical nitty-gritty, and the pearls of wisdom mined from the trenches of real-world battles.
