Imagine Exceeding the Possibilities

Imagine Exceeding the Possibilities (c 2012)

This morning, while catching the train to work, I found myself reading an article discussing Jack Welch's leadership legacy. Funny how life occasionally hands you a practical example of whatever you're reading. Behind me sat a bloke on his phone. I only heard his side of the conversation, but that was enough. "I don't have... Continue Reading →

Email Marketing has Gone to the Dogs

Based on the contents of an email I receieved a few days ago, I begin this rant about inadequate email-marketing, plus the emotions connected with online marketing. For a long time everyone relied on free photocopy usage and the local retail windows to push their product onto the general public. As customers declined and costs... 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 →

Surviving Big Mistakes

Never fear making mistakes. Many different aspects of life can be learned from making mistakes: 1. Communication. Being able to tell others you have made a mistake is important.

"Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be" ~ E. Weston I found this quote upon the Facebook-wall of Mel Neumann, a fellow photographer here in Adelaide, South Australia. Whilst I like the quote, it bugged me that it defines... Continue Reading →

The Power of Advertising on Social Media

As a graphic artist, I find advertising of my work upon social media is quite effective. Here is today's example of how much a little self-promotion can work: For the last few hours I have been updating my entire Redbubble Tshirt Collection. This has included editing a few works, changing fonts, adding text-shadows, plus lowering... Continue Reading →

Wanna buy a Baseball Cap?

Do you like baseball caps? I do! For the past 15years I have been collecting baseball caps from souvenir stalls in every town I've visited between Auckland and Adelaide. Plus I have acquired a lot from people who knew I liked them. But times change. I now wear a kangaroo-skin wide-brimmed hat. Why? Because [1]... Continue Reading →

How to Make Money from a Liquidation

Most Australians would know by now that BORDERS are in liquidation. As an avid book reader, I am dismayed by this, yet am thankful we have other great book suppliers in Adelaide. (Dymocks and Angus&Robertson to name a few!) Despite knowing about the liquidation a few months ago, it wasn't until tonight that I actually... Continue Reading →

I Eat, Breathe and Sleep Photography

Photography by Stephen Mitchell on Redbubble.com

I've had a long and fruitful weekend, loaded to the brim with photography! From shooting, to editing, to uploading, to appraising, to critiquing, to choosing, and learning new techniques for ideas, I pretty-much eat, breathe, and sleep with photography! It's now 9pm (after watching 2 episodes of TBBT) on a Sunday night, and I still... Continue Reading →

My Week in Social Media Circles

I left last night's #SOCADL/#SMCADL meeting wondering why I was involved with this group. I have asked myself this many a time. Their were amazing people, interesting conversations, roads to take me along new paths in all aspects of my life. Yet I still not understanding why I had chosen to get involved with this...
