G'day G'day Launch Pilots, I love listening to acoustic versions of songs. Most of the time, they aren’t sang by the original singer. The artist covering the song doesn’t hide that fact. They give all the credit to the original singer. But that doesn’t stop me listening to their version. Why? I like their vibe. I like their voice. I like their connection to the song. A lack of originality doesn’t factor into my decision to listen. But the same thing can be applied to entrepreneurship. Too...

G’day G’day mates, During the conference last week, I had an old colleague attend one of my talks. When I saw her, I was surprised. We hadn’t talked in 3-4+ years. A close friend told me that she’s been talking sh*t about me behind my back. I wasn’t bothered. When you write on the internet for over 6 years, you become immune to people’s comments. But when we awkwardly caught up, I could see something had changed. I asked her: “What have you been up to in the last 4 years?” Her response: “I’ve...

G’day G’day mates, I’ll be honest, I’m exhausted. After 4 days at a major world conference, I’m knackered. Over the last 100 hours, I’ve: Spoken at 3 events. Met dozens of new people.

I met delegates from Japan, Malaysia, USA, UK, and many countries. While exciting, this takes it’s toll. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and the...

G’day G’day mates, “When I was your age, I had to go to the library to access knowledge.” That’s an offhanded comment my mum said to me. I was telling her about I’ve become obsessed with creating landing pages. Sounds odd I know. But becoming weirdly obsessed with random things is part of my personality. At 30, I’ve just accepted myself. I’ve stopped denying that part of myself. I was excited to tell my mum that I was mostly self-taught through the internet. I’d picked up creating landing...

G’day G’day mates, A short one from me today. I’m spending the week speaking at the largest Business Conference in the world. It’s the World Chambers Congress run by the International Chambers of Commerce. This event happens only every 2 years. I’m surrounded by incredible entrepreneurs and business owners from around the world. I’m in rooms that I shouldn’t be in. This experience reminded me of a lesson I learned in Bali 12 months ago. Back then, I thought making $20k-30k p/m from my...
