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.

Do Not Goal Plan….

Posted by onelife On August - 17 - 2009
I was wondering what to write today. I spent the weekend chilling out with the my family and thinking little about what entrepreneurial tidbits I would come up with today.

One Teenager Teaches Us All A Lesson

Posted by onelife On July - 24 - 2009
I have a confession; I was one of the people who thought Twitter was a total and complete waste of time. Who wants to know what random people are doing with their lives?

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.
