10 ways to help me really like your website...
I have been away for the last week in Germany at an international trade convention. It has been an interesting time where you get to meet all sorts of interesting people from different cultures.
It is amazing how many people have referred me to their website at the show. It makes sense - suppliers from all over the world use a website when promoting to an international market.
But as I sit here in my hotel room and finally plucked up the courage...

Anger management therapist – don’t make me laugh!...
I heard this story on the news and it caused me to laugh. An anger management therapist lost his temper and drove a car into a club that wouldn't let him in. He is now in jail, and I couldn't help but laugh when I listened to the news in the car.
Whilst it is one of the funniest things I heard all day, it does lead me to point out the obvious here: you have to practice what you preach. Customers can spot a fraud. Perhaps in the short run they do...

Affair proof your marriage...
Proverbs 5
18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth. 19 As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love.
This chapter of proverbs is geared towards avoiding adultery, or "affair proofing your marriage". Solomon asks
20 For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?
The bottom line...

What is success...
A group of us the other day were discussing this question: What is success?
The problem for most people who want to be successful is NOT that they can’t achieve success. The main obstacle for them is that they misunderstand success.
Then I read Seth's blog the next day - where he asks the same question.
One thing that I am convinced of is that success is a journey, not a destination. I am also convinced that the picture of success...

Advice for those starting a new business...
I was talking to someone the other day about when we set up Lutroo and what made me decide to take the plunge. At the time, my wife and I had a new baby - our first born but not much else. Dan (the other half of Lutroo) didn't have kids then but he didn't have much else either.
Both of us left our jobs to work on our company. I had a new baby and a wife that wasn't working.
Some people think this is risky, but for me it seemed like the right...

I am well able...
Last night was great for me. At cell – we took communion. It is always good to get back to basics, to put aside your fears and concerns, to stop thinking about your troubles and to focus on Jesus.
I have had a lot on my mind recently and when I am in the presence of God, it is easy for me to bombard God with a bunch of questions. But last night, I took my own advice and put those troubles to one side and just thought about the fundamentals of my...

Why you shouldn’t use UPS...
Today the UPS man arrived at my office with some software upgrades that I ordered from the States.
Now, when I was on the website ordering the upgrades (there was no download available), the only shipping option for me was UPS because I was outside the States - this already meant an increase in $30 in my shipping costs which I was annoyed about.
But the thing that really gets to me is UPS. The guy arrived and told me that this was cash-on-delivery...

When things aren’t going the way they should...
If you have been following along on this blog for the last few weeks – you will have discovered that I drive a Mazda RX-8. You will also know that I felt strongly that God told me to get this car, and that it was a fulfilment of a long-standing dream of mine.
But since I have owned that car – a lot has happened to it. It has been vandalised about 5 times, where people have scratched all down the side of the car with their keys, so about 5 panels...

Joseph had a dream about his future. Successful people always have a dream to go after, and they go after it. People dream about winning the lottery – this will not make them...
