Modern Small Business Leadership
Welcome to our Modern Small Business Leadership Blog
Life, Love & Business – it's a phrase we often use to explain the everyday interconnection between our business lives and our personal lives — all for the purpose of protecting and providing for those we love and nurturing our key relationships.
Our experience is most people want to be better people, to run better businesses and be better able to contribute to their communities and families in more meaningful ways. At its core of course, is the drive of leadership; who you are when nobody's looking, what you believe (and what you don't) who you value, what you support, and how you choose to show up in the world around you. Leadership is how we live (and work) with purpose and become that change we want to see in the world around us.
Our Modern Small Business Leadership Blog is for people who want to actively grow themselves, their businesses, and their community – so they can all live a bigger life.

They’re designed to suit the average person and provide a basic level of functionality so you can use the device in your normal life.
But there’s so much more you can do if you change these settings.
The problem is most people don't know what the default settings are. They abdicate their experience of life to what was pre-set for them - by expectation, culture or experience or perceived opportunity – not what could be.
Who is Kim Kardashian and what is she teaching my kids about sex, money, and fancy handbags?
So have you had ‘the talk’ with your teenagers yet?
Building trust in diverse teams
There are times in life when your good ideas just don't get the results you need. Your best people skills, no longer bring out the best in them. And you begin to recognise your need for new skills, only after you’ve already started a project.
The future of business and its social, moral and commercial decisions
In January 2018 Ingvar Kamprad, the Swedish business genius behind the flatpack furniture giant IKEA, passed away at 91 leaving a business empire turning over $30 billion annually.
Moneyism’s and why what happens in childhood doesn’t remain in childhood
Let me tell you something you already know: there’s a clear connection between your attitudes and your wealth.
If you've taken a public vow of poverty and then you win the lottery, (or receive an inheritance, or an insurance payout), either way your money belief system will probably get in the way.
