Developing A Strong ‘NO’
Last week, Rich Quick posted an excellent comment on this blog, talking saying “NO”. It came in the middle of the discussion of the 5 innovations of the iPad, and that Apple’s strength was by saying no to a lot of things, in order to have a stronger and more defined yes. In actual fact, [...]
Building The Kingdom: Knowing Me, Knowing You
My friend Robin Dickinson had what I described as the greatest blog ever recently. His post “Share Words“, in which he gave hands on advice on assisting people with their own share words – short phrases to help him share what they are about – to every person who commented. The best bit was how [...]

It’s far more rewarding, effective and exciting to be the king-maker, than trying to put yourself on [...]
I Love Trey Pennington

This week began interestingly when I commented on a Telegraph article on the iPhone 4, which had it’s ‘10 reasons not to buy the iPhone 4‘, none of which were factually grounded. I commented saying that it was poor journalism considering it was false information, but the shock came when my comment was promptly deleted. [...]
