Finding Success in the Great Outdoors: How Bean Lived his Dream
When Bean died in 1967, the executives at the company he had founded were not sure if they should publicize his death.

Make a fortune buying under performing businesses.
The fundamental principle of investing is to buy low and sell high. Every investor seeks to achieve this principle, regardless of what they invest in.

If you’ve ever read my blogs, or spoken to me on the phone, you know that I look at business ownership as an investment, and just like all the other investments, there are “Bargains” here as well and you could make a fortune buying under performing businesses as long as you know what to look for.

Tired of fighting for customers in the bargain basement?
Imagine for a second… Your phone wouldn't stop ringing and your inbox are inundated with emails… You diary is filled with the names of people eager to answer your phone calls and hear your sales pitch… People are rushing to your door and begging you to take their money… Wouldn’t that make your life a hell lot easier and get you to sleep better at night? However, the sad reality is that many entrepreneurs are working 16 hours a day and 7 days a week just to make ends meet. They are frustrated by the fact they work an unreasonable amount of hours, yet don't seem to make the money they deserve. Does this sound familiar to you?

2009: Make It A Great Year

Why ‘everybody lives by selling something’ is key to your success
‘Everybody lives by selling something’ seems to have allowed people to discuss an area that is fundamental to human relationships and communication, the principle of exchange. In our lives we are all exchanging things of value. Whether what we exchange is of value to others should be determined through effective communication, open dialogue, and trust. Taken to an organisation wide level, everybody in a company has an impact on how the business communicates with and engages in the principle of exchange with its customers, suppliers, the broader community, and each other. The legacy of silos in organisations, where departments distance themselves from each other, pitting their agenda against others to gain an upper hand, is the opposite of the principle ‘everybody lives by selling something’.
