It’s all in the mind.

It’s all in the mind. For most ideas that’s where they stay. Sadly. A few posts ago I talked about the importance of carrying a notebook and pencil with you everywhere you go. Plus, keeping one by the bed (how come those best ideas come right on the edge of

Paving over nature.

One of my favourite books is Mystery School. A collection of essays on magic, ritual and philosophy, it is a document of the work being done by the founder Jeff McBride and the faculty at the Mystery School in Las Vegas. I’m delighted to play my small part in their

What’s your excuse?

Have a look at the image. What do you think the No. 1 excuse is that people use for never chasing their dreams? Any guesses? I’ve spoken in the past to so many people who have shown admiration (bless ’em!) for the way I’ve always created an income stream (or

Go on, be afraid. I dare you.

I’m a L.A.

I’m a List Addict. There. It’s out. Phew. Usually we all sit round in a circle and ‘come out’. Not pens or pads allowed. Listers Anonymous. The irony is us LA’s at LA have an ordered schedule of business (e.g. a list) so we can’t escape them completely. And neither
