I'm a passionate believer that entrepreneurs - particularly small business owners - can do just that. You have the flexibility to act quickly and experiment with new ideas. And the possibilities are endless.
You can create the lifestyle you want. You just needs the tools to make it happen. And your business is the ideal vehicle to help you turn your dreams into reality.

FREE weekly advice - sign up for my personal Business Bootcamp newsletter
This newsletter is just for entrepreneurs and small business owners. My main business is the Sydney Writers' Centre. In four years, I've grown it from a one-person operation with only six people in our first class to Australia's leading centre for writing training. We now have 20 presenters teaching thousands of people every year from all over the world. I'm also a small business commentator in the media in Australia and run workshops/seminars just for entrepreneurs.
I am also a small business commentator and write regularly about entrepreneurship and technology in the Australian media. If you enjoy my blog posts on Enterprise on smh.com.au, theage.com.au,watoday.com.au and brisbanetimes.com.au, you'll love my personal newsletter.
I have the chance to get personal and talk about things that I've
learnt while running my businesses - and I'm keen to share what's made
them successful. I can share more information about myself and my
businesses than I can on the blog.
I can talk numbers,
strategies, what works and what doesn't. As I've studied and
successfully implemented many online marketing strategies, that's going
to be one area I'm going to focus on too.
