I like to describe myself as an entrepreneur, author, photographer, investor and keen cyclist.
Yes. I did share in building a new business as an entrepreneur. The business eventually grew to 750 staff in 16 offices across 10 different countries. And we built it in 6 years. I call that entrepreneurial.
Yes. I have co-authored two books. One is about Technology in Banking, telling the story of the evolution of British banking. The other is a collection of inspirational stories called The Inspiration Bible. My piece in the book is the story of how I became Inspired to Ride.
Yes. I do take photographs. Mostly I photograph Australian native orchids. I go looking for them when I am cycling or when I am out in the bush. And I publish them on Steemit.com, a cryptocurrency-based blogging platform and I get paid to do that.
Yes. I do cycle. More than that I like to cycle long distances and have thus far cycled across Australia 7 times from side to side in different directions and top to bottom. More than that I like to cycle for charity and have raised thousands of dollars for Kids Cancer and for Disabled Kids through my cycling journeys.
Yes. I am an investor. Over the last 4 years I have taken over management of almost all of my portfolios. I set out to invest in all instruments across all geographies. And I write about that too with over 300 investing journals published on Steemit.com.
What qualifies me to talk about Internet Marketing?
- I an an IT geek. I bought my first Apple computer in 1981. I have been tweaking computers and computer code ever since
- I am an experienced management consultant with a 25 year track record across several industries and geographies. I understand business
- I am well qualified for business too with qualifications in business and law and accounting
- I have a creative mind to bring business and technology and customer needs together
- I have bought a lot of Internet Marketing stuff. I know a lot of Internet Marketing gurus. I have been through a lot of training.
What disqualifies me?
- I am always finding and chasing new ideas which gets in the way of the focus needed to complete projects

Challenge then is to harness the ideas, contain the number of projects and finish things
