In 1952 The Today Show aired with Dave Garroway as host… The show wasn’t doing very well at all. That is until the addition of J. Fred Muggs… Now J. Fred Muggs was no ordinary man, nope. He wasn’t a man at all, but a Chimpanzee dressed in diapers like a baby… becoming an overnight sensation and signed up by …
Do you ever feel like quitting?
Do you ever feel like quitting? I know I have many times when I was first starting out online. (And for a brief time, I did.) There’s a great quote by Thomas Edison that goes: “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” I wonder if he …
Want a laugh? Watch this.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been watching a Netflix series. Friday Night Dinner… (Something my daughter had been watching. And that got me watching it.)

Are you on the road to nowhere?
I was reading an email today from a marketer… about 3 major factors that stop people from being successful. And the one that stood out to me was about not knowing where we’re going. (Something I felt like many times.) There was a quote from Henry Kissinger:enH “If you don’t know where you are going, every road will get you …

This morning, I was reading an article I came across… You may have seen it especially if you’re a Formula One fan. Former Formula One driver Gerhard Berger’s Ferrari was recovered by Scotland Yard. After 28 years… (Bet he didn’t think he’d be seeing that again!) It was one of two Ferrari sports cars stolen, a red F512M Testarossa at …
A Slippery Situation
A few years ago, when my lad was in nursery… At that time, we were living in a hilly part of the neighbourhood. I think during that week we had a bit of snow and overnight it turned to ice. So people were being extra careful including me in the morning on the way to the nursery… And that day …

Picture this – back in 1922, this car race was up in Pikes Peak, Colorado… Everyone was flaunting their new rides, and Noel Bullock came with his Model T, calling it “Old Liz.” Now, Old Liz wasn’t exactly a beauty… Nope! With no paint and no hood – people started calling it “Tin Lizzie,” thinking it looked like a banged-up …
