10 Lessons Learned Writing My First Business Book [Infographic]

When I became an entrepreneur way back in 2004, the idea of writing my first business book to help budding entrepreneurs was always a huge, but distant goal that loomed in the back of my head whenever I sat down to plan out my long-term targets at the end of each year.

When I started blogging and podcasting in 2010 it became something that I thought more about, as my ‘work’ grew in popularity, and I came into contact with more like-minded entrepreneurs. Little did I know it was going to be th...

Why You Need to Slow Down to Achieve More

I’ve been thinking a lot about speed recently…

The speed at which I can read a book. The speed at which I can hit my goals. The speed at which I can sell out a new event. The speed at which I can connect with my community every day – both inside our private membership and via social media.
