The $2000 Dilemma
I can’t really recall the date: I think it was Jan 25th 2009. I opened up the newspaper. And there it was: Air New Zealand was offering discounted fares from Auckland to London for just $2000. And in less than 24 hours, they’d sold their pre-arranged quota of 2000 tickets. That’s $4,000,000 in under 24 […]
Why ‘Working Smarter Not Harder’, is a Myth
(Published Feb 17, 2009) I just want to ask you one question: Do you think, truly think that Tiger Woods works harder at his golf than anyone else? Or do you think he works less hard? And just to continue the question… Do you think Steve Jobs works harder? Do you think Michael Phelps works […]

And you feel like defending yourself. But remember, feedback is never personal. We just take it personally. When a person says: your […]
A Year Called July
July was always the worst month of the year for me! In the years 1997, 1998, 1999, I dreaded July. Because you see, back then I wasn’t in marketing—I was a cartoonist. And somehow in July all the cartooning work mysteriously dried up. The phone would stop ringing. And it would stay dead no matter what […]
Why Profit Is a Poor Indicator of Your Business Worth
Most companies benchmark their business on revenue earned. Which is stupid, eh? I mean revenue means nothing if you don’t benchmark the actual profit. But is it stupid to benchmark profit as well? Yes, it is. Because gross revenues and profit are a nice-to-have but not critical indicator. The most critical indicator in a business […]
Why We Fail: An Understanding of Momentum
The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day […]
How To Treat A Guest: The Stupidity of Autoresponders
Let’s say you have a dinner party. You send out invitations. You arrange for the catering. You have the finest wine. And when the guest knocks on the door, what do you do? You send your ‘personalised robot’ to say hi and welcome the guest through the doors, right? Just like you do with your […]
