First principles

We all have days when we don't want to get out of bed and certainly have no interest in doing anything meaningful or productive. Running two businesses that are based in Australia that has dealings in North America and South-east Asia which calls for extended hours of morning and evening occasionally leaves me in a situation there I am sure I am the hardest person in the world to rouse from sleep at 4.00am to make an important phone call. However, that phone call is important and when no-one else can make that call for me I need to find the drive or motivation to simply do what is required.

I had, to my total delight, the opportunity to read a blog post written Kirsty Stewart of Enhance Your Chances. It was based on 'things I have learnt from being a resume writer'. It was hilarious and yet serious at the same time. Her reflection on her own experiences inspired me to write this particular article on the 10 things I have learnt from being in business.
