Posted by David@OneLifeNoFear On May - 21 - 2010

I predicted in a guest post on another blog that the banking crisis would cause a knee-jerk reaction from regulators who, as usual, would totally screw things up. Lo and behold along comes the proposed ‘Financial reform Bill’. Now, don’t get me wrong, there needs to be reform in the financial industry, I would go along with that.

When I was young, I worked in a financial services company alongside a lady whose husband was one of the leading entrepreneurs at the time.

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, and right now we are touring Asutralia.

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.
