Hi Readers!

Long time no see – I’m just returning from a blogging hiatus and I have some news to share. There’s been a lot happening.

Also, this week (Wednesday, specifically) is the anniversary of my site launch – though I’ve had a website for sometime, I wasn’t really online until July 27th 2010. It’s been one hell of a year and I’ve got some war stories (aka entrepreneurial learnings) to share.

Since no post on this site would be complete without psychology/business tips, I thought I’d kick off this update with a breakdown of the game-changing things I’ve learned in the last twelve months. Here goes…   Continue reading “The Shrink for Entrepreneurs one year on – What I learned and what comes next”

This post has been a long time coming. My experience on the Summit boat blew my mind to the extent that I needed a few weeks back in Sydney to fully comprehend this game changing event.

This is public service announcement – no psychological insights today (unless you REALLY know how to read between the lines).

Nothing would make me happier – so check out all the details below and let’s see if we can make it happen… Continue reading “The Shrink for Entrepreneurs on Tour”

The secret to success in corporate consulting is simple: Be everywhere, all the time. Have lunch with as many CEOs as possible and know about all the challenges they’re facing. Be aware of their problems before they are. Right when things are at their worst? Swoop in with a solution and make the sale.

It was that approach that earned me a, “Peter, we need you. Send us the bill,” status with hundred million dollar businesses.

In other words, it earned me a comfortable income.

But one night, I wasn’t comfortable. It was freezing outside, high in the southern alps of New Zealand. The snow was falling, and I had convinced James Chartrand to spend a few minutes talking business strategy with me on the phone.
