Parental Control – Free Software

Posted by onelife On February - 18 - 2010
After a busy few weeks I finally get the time to sit down and write a post. Since that last one I have covered another 15,000 miles or whatever it is (Brisbane to Florida via LA and back), watched the Space Shuttle launch at 4am, indulged on Super Bowl Sunday, with great company and have become pretty sick of airplanes…. but the trip was well worth it. I have been developing the business plan and structure for a very cool business in the US and it was made all the more exciting by dealing with the people who run it. Isn’t it just the case that business is much more fun when you are dealing with motivated, intelligent people? Can’t tell you anything about that one yet, but will use it as a case study in the future. Read the rest of this entry »

30 Hours On A Plane… And What I Learned

Posted by onelife On January - 21 - 2010
40 hrs of travelling, 30 of those split between two plane journeys. Wow, Australia should not be called ‘Australia’ it should be called ‘Far Away’. As I write this I am ready to take another couple of flights on the return journey and I was thinking about what can be learned from such an awesome trip that is relevant to the entrepreneur.

Motivational Video – Do It!

Posted by onelife On December - 21 - 2009
The thing I like about being a motivated person is even when I am having a really, really bad time of it, I know that there is a strategy to getting out. We all know what it is, we have a chat with ourselves, check our goals, polish up some beliefs and work to change our state.  If you don’t do this check out our free eBook  ‘Becoming an Entrepreneur – Boot Camp’ Read the rest of this entry »

Entrepreneur’s Letter To His 20 Year Old Self

Posted by onelife On October - 21 - 2009
If you could write a letter to help out your younger self, what would it say? We all grow as we move along in life and sometimes we forget about how we were and how we approached life when we were younger, even if that was just a few years ago. After a recent conversation with someone I have been helping progress it struck me that I would have liked to have my older self as my mentor. Read the rest of this entry »

Interview With John Chow – Podcast

Posted by onelife On September - 4 - 2009
I first had a website in 1996, actually to call it a web ’site’ is probably stretching the truth, it was a web ‘page’. It was a page on a site where people would go, at the end of each day, to download all the day’s stock market statistics. Read the rest of this entry »

Entrepreneur Success Stories – We Love ‘em…

Posted by onelife On August - 25 - 2009
Entrepreneur success stories are great fodder for motivation, ideas and strategies for those new to business or even old hands. I have read a multitude of biographies from Richard Branson, Sir James Goldsmith to Sheikh Yamani. Every book I read always give me some new insight, which is why I don’t stick to a particular type of business or industry. I just like to read the thought processes behind some highly successful people. Read the rest of this entry »

About Me

My name is David, I am very happily married and have one step son. We moved to Switzerland 4 years ago as we love the country, it is a hub of entrepreneurship, the people are fabulous and the skiing is not bad either!

This blog is about passing on some of the strategies I have learned in 20 years as an entrepreneur, from running a commodities operation producing $300mn per year of business to the challenges of owning a small hotel on a tiny Caribbean island and many businesses inbetween.

Others coaches are excellent at reading books and distilling the content for you, that is great if that is what you are looking for. I give you practical advice through my own successes and mistakes. I hope you find the blog useful.
