Yesterday I was privileged to be working with my colleague Robert Whitwood and his company Inspired Change at an enterprise day today at City Academy, Norwich. We asked 155 year 8 students to design some amazing tourist theme parks to promote Norfolk tourism. They came up with some really imaginative ideas, then they all presented ...…
On the way home from a business trip today I was listening to Radio 2 (yes I’m old) and I heard a guy say that the world population of 7 billion is predicted to increase to 9 billion in the next 2 or 3 decades. He went on to say the demand for resources from this ...…
“When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears“… Anthony Robbins Last week it was thanksgiving in the USA and I was asked to guest blog for a colleague on the subject of gratitude. I’d commented on a facebook post of his and we’d spoken briefly on the subject. He (Paul) felt that ‘starting each day with ...…
If you didn’t know already it’s Global Entrepreneurship Week, and today I’m really excited to be able to post about something that’s been in the pipeline for around a year. It’s the upcoming ‘Trainee Millionaire Club‘, an online community website and resource for schoolboy and schoolgirl entrepreneurs! My aim is to provide an engaging and ...…
‘Children do as you do, not as you say’. If you’re a parent I think you’d agree with that statement. Looking at my own kids it certainly seems that way to me. So, with that in mind, it makes sense that we should try to be the best financial role models we can doesn’t it? ...…

Don’t be stupid!…. That’ll never happen!…. Are you getting ideas above your station?…. Who do you think you are?…. You’ve got your head in the clouds! By the time we are 14 years of age we’ve most probably heard all the above and more. So, when you think about it, it’s really no wonder people give up on ...…
I don’t really have anything to say today. Instead I’m going to let this young lady do the talking. I assume this is NOT what the school expected in a Valedictorian speech, in fact I was expecting someone to run up and drag her off the podium! Take a look. It’s worth it! Enjoy……
A few nights ago I had the good fortune to hear the one and only Marlon Smith speaking at the Yes! Group Norwich. Marlon is a bit of a legend, extremely funny, and a master motivator, and if you haven’t seen him yet I’d highly recommend that you do. That night, one of his favourite and ...…
How successful you will be at anything is always going to be dependent on the words and beliefs about yourself you have stored in your subconscious mind… THAT’S A FACT! But they certainly didn’t teach me that at school! How about you? Didn’t think so. So, how often do you say to yourself ‘I couldn’t ...…
