Happy Friday..Become a Do'er!


Hello Bert friends and Bert friends not yet known...

I want to start by wishing a Happy Thanks Giving to my USA friends.  I hope you have a wonderful time being together with loved ones.

I’m still reading my books (6 on the go at the moment), Gees...Alan Sugar can talk, but boy does he have an eye for business opportunities...and is very hands on with all his businesses. He likes to know all the details about his products, process and employees.  He makes them feel part of something, makes them feel they are contributing...sounds familiar to one of my posts a month or so ago.

San Diego

I’ve been extremely fortunate to travel to some amazing places in the world and thought I’d start to share some with you.  I thought I’d give you some insight into what San Diego, Southern California has to offer should you be struggling to find a place for your next summer holiday...in actual fact, it doesn’t have to be summertime to visit SD.  The weather there is pretty much always great...one of the most stable climates in the world...never too hot and never too cold.  Even in January you can walk around during the day in a T-Shirt..10-15 degrees...but for the most part..the weather hits 20+ degrees every day.

The beaches are amazing...so much so that here we are in November and I took my first surf lesson this week.  I had to meet my buddy at the beach at 5.30am...which is such an amazing time of the day...check out the clear blue skies...and then here is me looking eerrrr yeah.... moving on swiftly...

OK Lee...You've made a start!


Sorry...I know I haven’t posted for a week or so but I want to explain why.

I wanted to ensure that the quality of my posts wasn’t compromised and that I wasn’t just writing for the sake of writing...who am I trying to satisfy by doing that?  Well actually, considering the blog is my way of being able to get things off my chest, the only person I need to please is me.  This isn’t meant in any way to be selfish, it’s just my way of talking about the things that interest me, concern me or that I have a valid and constructive opinion on.  I’m not about to start talking rubbish about stuff I know nothing about.  I want to keep things interesting for those that take time out of their day to stop by and read and hopefully come away from the blog feeling positive, having laughed, having felt a sense of relating to a post or hopefully, inspired to make a change...a positive one for themselves.

Well Being Wednesday - Detox Your Anger


This is quite a deep one today but hopefully it will give you some food for thought about how to not only recognise anger, but control it.

It’s within our human nature to have angry thoughts when presented with certain situations.  However, there are different degree’s of anger...irritation, annoyance, frustration, rage...and all need to be dealt with in different ways.

It all stems from our caveman/woman days...when we were being chased by larger predators or felt threatened by another human to the point where we fear for our lives...commonly known as ‘Flight/Fight’..meaning we either remove ourselves from the situation or we stay and fight for our lives...literally.

Motivational Monday - Read Your Way To Success


It’s been a while since I’ve written a Motivational Monday blog...and the reason is because I’ve been doing some reading...and learning.

We are fortunate enough to live in an era that has so many publicly visible entrepreneurs that we can plug into...even if we don’t actually know them.

To think that we know it all and that we don’t need the advice of others is quite simply...business suicide.  Even the likes of Peter Jones and Alan Sugar constantly seek to improve...to do better...to discover the next big thing or fun money making opportunity.
