What were you doing in 2010?
Last week this happened. An intimate group of business owners stopped what they would normally do on a Wednesday to pause, reflect and plan. We call it the PEPP®pause and PEPP® stands for Purpose + Energy + Pleasure + Profit. It’s how we all “do” business and life because [...]
Are you speaking in white noise?
“Are you speaking in white noise?” asked The Boss Lady “and if you are, stop and be different”. And The Boss Lady aka Marion “Maz” Farrelly should know. Her shows on the “small screen” have had an estimated audience of 7 billion. Yes, 7 billion. They include the reality ones [...]
Is Purpose at the Core of Your Strategy?
PEPP® When I trademarked PEPP® as a word a few years ago, to mean Purpose, Energy, Pleasure and Profit, whilst saying anyone could put the words in any order they like, I deliberately put “Purpose” ahead of “Profit” in the order I regularly say them. Because to not do [...]
A System Creates a Service WOW!!!
When were you last WOW’d as a customer? For me it was an hour ago and part of the ingredients for a “WOW” usually includes the unexpected. So, someone in my world had their car stolen yesterday. I needed to contact Linkt to have the e-toll tag reported stolen, and [...]

Do you celebrate love every day?
In this week where many people celebrate Valentine’s Day, others say love should be celebrated every day. The cynics say it’s just a commercial opportunity made famous by Hallmark cards and Interflora, so let’s talk about how love fits in to the PEPP® model for a life with more vitality. [...]
Why live with a plan in 2019?
Living without some sort of a plan is like starting the engine of your car and not knowing where you’re driving to. In my world, “plan” is one of the words I’ve selected as an extension of “Purpose”, which is a fundamental in PEPP® – Purpose, Energy, Pleasure and Profit [...]
Friday Fun with a Flamboyance of Flamingos
Because I wanted to have some Friday FUN, and tomorrow is “World Flamingo Day”, yes that really is a thing (recognised on 23rd June since 2007), I thought I’d share some random thoughts about PEPP® (Purpose – Energy – Pleasure – Profit) and Flamingos. I’ve loved flamingos for many [...]
