Sydney Travel XPO

( Business )

Last Thursday morning my family and I drove up to Sydney for the Travel XPO.
I’ve never been to Sydney and although I have heard many things about the city, I never thought one city could be such a crazy place! I mean, seriously, driving around in Sydney without GPS or a map is not a […]

PitchClub & NetworkingWorld

Earlier this week my father forwarded on an email from Brenda at NetworkingWorld.
She included a link to her blog post about PitchClub, where my father and I got a mention!

Things are getting RYPE

( Business )

My first venture for 2008; RYPE Media, officially started today.
For the last few years I have been making websites, design logo’s, business cards, working on flyers and catalogues, etc. My good friend Dan has also been doing many of the same things, and although we’ve only talked briefly about forming a business to do things […]

Pitch Club

( Business )

Well, what a night!
If you haven’t heard of PitchClub (www.pitchclub.biz); Entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers are invited along to meet for some drinks and networking. However, unlike other networking events, PitchClub has a bit of a twist . Firstly, ten entrepreneurs give their 90-second “elevator pitch”, of which each attendee is able to vote for. […]

PitchClub - Tomorrow Night

Tomorrow night I will be attending PitchClub!
I’m not going to blab on about it here (yet), so if you want to know more I suggest you checkout the website, www.pitchclub.biz
I’m looking forward to the opportunities it will present, and I plan to post a report on my experience on Wednesday.
Stay tuned!

Read, Read, Read.

( Business )

An information advantage. That is what I want.
How do I achieve it? Read, read, read.
It all sounds simple, but how many hours a day can I really read (to learn) for?
An hour to start sounds pretty reasonable, since I already read for at least 20-30 minutes a day.
So what is this “information advantage”? Well, Mark […]

ABW 2007 - RSC Newletter Edition

( Business and School )

Today my write-up on my recent ABW 2007 experience was published in my school newsletter. Available as a PDF download (see page 10), however I have copied the text for you to read here:
For 60 students selected from around Victoria, the recent two-week holidays were cut to one, as each of these students was awarded […]

ABW 2007 - Day Six

( Business )

Following our final breakfast, we had almost two hours of company meetings for final preparation on our report, trade display, presentation, and speeches.
Definitely a hard session, with nothing but adrenaline keeping me going (and possibly my overload of caffeine from the night before).
At 10am we handed in our report, and at 10.30am the mock trade […]

ABW 2007 - Day Five

( Business )

Our last 7am start, our last morning recreation activity, it was a good yet partially sad day.
After breakfast we started with a presentation by Andrea Sheedy, Team Leader of Student Admin Group at Deakin.
Andrea’s presentation as about Deakin University’s great features, titled “Adding Value by Degrees”, it provided interesting information about the Uni.
After our first […]

ABW 2007 - Day Four

( Business )

Another 7am start, followed by morning recreation and breakfast.
After a physically challenging day yesterday with the Outdoor Team Challenge, I must admit I was still feeling a little sore.
To kick off our day we had another team development session, “planning for high performance”.
Hosted by Ian McDonald and John Lindros, we learned a lot about not […]
