  • Pasta

    Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

    Transports me to a time when we  made fresh pasta with my grandma. We also made our own source and salami. Great family times.

  • Nelson Mandela

    Who is your favorite historical figure?

    Out of the night that covers me,

    Black as the pit from pole to pole,

    I thank whatever gods may be

    For my unconquerable soul.



    In the fell clutch of circumstance

    I have not winced nor cried aloud.

    Under the bludgeonings of chance

    My head is bloody, but unbowed.



    Beyond this place of wrath and tears

    Looms but the Horror of the shade,

    And yet the menace of the years

    Finds and shall find me unafraid.



    It matters not how strait the gate,

    How charged with punishments the scroll,

    I am the master of my fate,

    I am the captain of my soul.


    He was captured fighting for freedom and recited this speech every day in prison. He latter became president of South Africa and forgave the people he had him prisoned.

  • Steve Jobs 1997

    Speech that relaunched Apple

    “To make Apple healthy and prospering again, we have to let go of a few things here. We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose,” Jobs said. “We have to embrace the notion that for Apple to win, Apple has to do a really good job. If others are going to help us, that’s great. Because we need all the help we can get…The era of setting this up as a competition between Apple and Microsoft is over.” The ability of Jobs to see the big picture allowed Apple to become the juggernaut it is today and one of the world’s most influential companies.

  • Charles Swabb

    I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among my people,” said Schwab, “the greatest asset I possess, and the way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement. “There is nothing else that so kills the ambitions of a person as criticisms from superiors. I never criticize anyone. I believe in giving a person incentive to work. So I am anxious to praise but loath to find fault. If I like anything, I am hearty in my approbation and lavish in my praise.”

  • MY PERFECT DAY 2040

    How do you want to retire?

      MY PERFECT DAY 2040

    I wake up in the morning next to my beautiful wife and have a great breakfast with my family. I go for a run, walk and swim down at Beach. I have done this after going to the gym yesterday.

    I own an Online Retail business that my whole family is part of. I enjoy consulting and investing  throughout Australia and enjoy talking to people. 


    We have been to Europe as a family as well as Disneyland.

    I go on holiday whenever I want and have great people around me .


    I deal with and am in business with people that have integrity, honesty and have great beliefs in business and life.

    I enjoy all my business, my family and recreational time. I enjoy traveling and people I deal with daily.  


  • Inspiration and Leadership

    Inspiration and leadership are inseparable; if you cannot inspire your team to achieve greatness or inspire a group of people to follow your vision by your words and actions, you’re not a leader. You’re an average manager at best. Inspirational leaders don’t accept “the way life is,” and they are often uncomfortable if they do not live their purpose and share it with the world.

    Leadership is about people. It’s about inspiring people to believe that the impossible is possible; it’s about developing and building people to perform at heights they never imagine. It’s about self-discovery and becoming a slave for your gift while sharing it with the world. It’s about positively impacting your community, your company, your department and your team. Each chapter in this book will push you to become the leader you were destined to be; a leader of influence, a leader of value, a leader of vision, but most importantly, an inspirational leader who can inspire your team to believe in the impossible.
