Invest In Your Most Valuable Asset - You

It's important to make money to live and maximise your financial worth. It's equally important to maximise your self worth by investing in being your true self, not in being someone you think others expect you to be. Make the most of your unique potential, by investing your personal energies in your natural-born talents, skills and passions. Only then will you achieve the sort of life success reserved solely for you.

I have over 20 000 testimonials to my integrity

I am delighted to report that readership of my online articles on the Best Management Articles site alone has this week passed 20 000 visits and the number continues to grow daily. Seven of the articles have each so far attracted in excess of 1000 readers. The most read article - "Why Work Life Harmony is Better Than Work Life Balance" is in the list of Most Read Articles of All Time on that site, with 2080 visitors to that page as of today. Go to http://www.bestmanagementarticles.com/DisplayAuthor.aspx?Peter_Nicholls=&id=554

Those statistics do not of course include visits to the various articles on my own website at http://www.workleisure.com/resources/articles.html the statistics of which are not so clear to me. Nor do they include statistics on various other article directories at which my articles appear, or numerous general business sites who have seen fit to pick up and publish various of my articles.

The reason I tell you these statistics is only partly to feel good about myself (and I do! :) ).

More importantly it's to make you aware that there can be no better testimonial than the fact of having well over 20 000 readers of my numerous articles to date - only a handful of whom I would know and fewer still who would know me. Integrity is very hard to win on the internet and I believe I can claim to have achieved online integrity.

One final point. The articles present not so much new information as they do insight. If I can help you in any way - no matter where you are in the world - send me a message at peter@workleisure.com

From the mouths of babes

"I am not a hero.I am simply an ordinary person who had a dream and with hard work I achieved it". Nelson Mandella? Gandhi? No...16 year-old Jessica Watson of Australia, who today arrived safely in Sydney having become the youngest person to circumnavigate the world solo by yacht.

What an inspiration to us all...including this 70 year old guy (me). Jessica has given me renewed inspiration and hope to achieve my own dreams.

The Value of a Park

A park is an outside area providing inner peace.

A Thought for Thought Leaders

The seemingly infinite growth of Information technology is creating a need for entrepreneurs to go beyond being infopreneurs (providers of information) and become what I call insightpreneurs (providers of insight).

In trying to define insight, I was reminded of a time I saw a person being taught to karate-chop a piece of timber bare-handed. The secret was in focusing her mind on an impact point beyond the piece of timber. She split the timber as though it were paper.

Insight is much like karate – focusing the mind intuitively beyond the issue to the bigger picture of causes and effects within which the issue finds its being. The changed perception of the issue opens up a whole new dimension of unexplored options for its resolution.

The world desperately needs insightpreneurs. Thought leaders who can perceptively comprehend and discern issues in new, unexplored ways. Without them our thought processes are likely to be crushed under the exponentially-increasing weight of information overload.
