We find time for everyone, and everything else, but not for ourselves.ARTArticleBetter Marketing Without Reform? - Forget it!The current state of Marketing is such that the need for change and “New Models” are desperately needed.
The trouble is the “New Models” will not prove to be financially sustainable without substantially changing the way advertising and media services are organised.

That means that the brand and image essentials need to communicate strong, silent, convincing messages.ARTArticleBuild Trustworthy Business RelationshipsThink of the strong business relationships you have.

It takes a little bit of work, but it’s really worth it.ARTArticleChanging The Way You Think To Manifest Your Ideal SituationMost of us think that having the THING, relationship, Career, House, Vacation is what we want.
