“Everybody lives by selling something.” This simple but profound statement is attributed to Robert Louis Stevenson in the late 1800s. Few people will claim that selling comes naturally to them. Most would profess to be ambivalent about selling and a number of us would even recoil at the idea of

“Coaches HATE selling” screamed the headline of an advert for an online course that I saw on Facebook recently. It was clearly aimed at life coaches who, well, find the idea of selling their services difficult, to say the least. And I would guess that that applies to most who
Is there anyone who can say, with hand on heart, that they are not in awe of – or at the very least inspired by – the amazing diversity of scenery, climate, trees, plants, animals, fish and even insects that we are so privileged to be surrounded by on this

Just the other day someone sent me an email thanking me for a Blog post that had resonated with them. I was about to send a brief reply with well wishes when I realised there was more to the message. “Can you recommend ways in which I can better myself?”

‘Money makes the world go round’ is a saying that originated from the musical ‘Cabaret’ written in the 1960s. The implication of the saying is that without money everything in our world would come to a crashing halt – and given our total dependence on it as a means of
