How valuable has education been to your career success?
Kind of a loaded question, eh?!
Reminds me of what Tony Robbins (the personal development guru) is reputed to have said when queried on his lack of formal qualifications:
“I have a Ph.D. - a Ph.D. in Results.” lol!
How disarming! ‘love it!
Anyway, I happened to come across UK-based […]
This is the first of 3 posts on goal setting excuses.
Do you avoid setting goals in a field of interest because you think you have little or no ability?
I suspect that many people are 100% correct in drawing that conclusion - that is, they think they have no ability.
Think again!
The Ability Excuse
Consider the likelihood that […]
You know how some potential career changers stay stuck within fearful imaginary scenarios - and then use that imagined fear to avoid taking action…
… with the result that nothing much changes.
Well, if that sounds like you - and you want to do something about it - then here’s a special offer that can help.

As a Career change and Life coach I get quite a kick from helping people “do more of what you love”.
But, as with many things in life, results can take time and are often different from what was first conceived.

4- Late […]
I highlighted the incredible story of Scott Rigsby, IronMan extraordinaire in this Feb 2008 post on doing the unthinkable.
Tonight I was pleased to watch his new short movie by following this link: Unthinkable
Honest to goodness, a better example of a true “IronMan” hero to marvel at would be hard to find - even in Hollywood […]
“The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.”
Professor Albert Bartlett
I came across Prof Bartlett’s work while I was googling how to better explain percentage changes to my sixth grade daughter recently.
Having taught Maths & Physics in the UK many moons ago I was intrigued enough to check […]

Thinking about “following your passion” but not sure how to combine your “day job” with your “hobby”?
(Note: there is some adult content on Danny’s site and it may not be safe to access from work.)

“I gave my life to be the person I am today. Was it worth it?”
