Over the course of twenty years, I’ve been through my fair share of reinventions in business… We started out selling websites in 2005 even though my co-founder Toby and I weren’t techies. (We hired for those skills.) We added web consulting in 2008 when I realised I enjoyed sharing the marketing methodolgy we’d developed. I’d...

It feels like engagement these days is mainly just bots liking or commenting on autopilot. And it shows. A post that get hundreds of likes often leads nowhere. But the quiet DMs… The personal emails… The real conversations with people… These actually move the needle. This week I was reminded (again) that the loudest metrics...
My interview on the Success x Happiness podcast is now live. It was nice to sit down for a podcast again, especially now as a Dad and business owner, because my perspective has changed a lot. Here’s what we covered: Rejection to Recognition: In the early days, I was literally knocking on doors in the...
You might’ve noticed I was little bit quieter than usual on the email front recently. For good reason. Lou and I had our 5 year wedding anniversary and belated wedding reception. We got married during Covid and couldn’t have more than 10 people attend. So 5 years later, to the day, we had our reception....
I was speaking with one of my longest-standing clients—and also one of my newest. I suspect what we discussed may resonate with you too. You’ve built a great business. You’ve earned the freedom to step away a little—maybe to travel, spend more time with family, or just enjoy the fruits of your work. But it...
I recorded this short video explaining my Dream 1000 concept. The Hidden Power Inside Your Dream 1000 When I first started testing this system, I used to think it was just about “finding more leads.” But what I’ve realised — and what’s made the biggest difference for clients — is that it’s not about more...
If you’ve been in business for more than five years, you’re likely sitting on $10K–$100K in untapped revenue… just from people you already know. Seriously. Every time a new client starts with me, one of the first things we do is this “low-hanging fruit” exercise. We look inside their existing network — email list, LinkedIn,...
Most consultants, coaches, and business owners secretly wish they could replicate themselves. The bottleneck isn’t their skill. It’s that everything lives in their head. The solution? What I call “Freedom Systems.” In this video, I walk you through how to unpack your intellectual property, systems, and processes into a marketing engine that works 24/7. It’s...

Investing in content marketing is one of the best ways to build brand and product awareness. On the one hand, choosing tried and tested content production and distribution tactics is a great way to attract potential customers.

October is nearly here which means it’s footy finals in Australia. Footy is not for everyone, but when your hometown team (AFL Brisbane Lions) is playing in the grand final it’s easy to get swept up and get behind them. I’m firmly a fair-weather fan and am right on board now that they won the

I’ve been a little bit quiet on the Bluewire News front during the last 2 weeks because ….’how good were the Olympics!” For a spectator like me, I’m inspired by the feats of the athletes. Their commitment, drive and execution under pressure is exceptional. I’m conscious that for every person who competes at the Olympics
How was the first half of your year? If it feels like times gets quicker and quicker as you get older, you are not alone. There is a scientific explanation. “A year for a 5-year-old is one fifth (or 20%) of their life so far, but a year to a 50-year old is one fiftieth

I had a few readers respond about the difference between a consultant and a subject matter expert. Hat tip to John Groarke ‘mentor to consultants’ at JEGMC in Sydney who replied promptly saying: “I clicked on your email as soon as I saw the subject line … because there is significant market confusion over the consultant word and the contractor word … and interestingly

When you build yourself a content machine, it allows you to focus on your highest value and most energising work. This is because once you’ve created a piece of content and published it, it means that dozens, if not hundreds or thousands of people can then engage with that content and get to know, like
It’s a new month, a new season (Spring for us down under), and also Fathers’ Day (in Aus). It was special. I went for an hour’s joggle adventure (a 3yo’s new word for jogging with a pram), had a seafood lunch, and spent the arvo swimming and playing in the park. My own father came

I hope you had a great Easter and Q1. It’s hard to believe we’re into the second quarter of the year, and in Australia, we’ve said goodbye to summer and had a change of season to Autumn. It’s my favourite time of the year (plus it’s my birthday month!) Life continues to treat us well
I ran a poll and there were no surprises about what type of content is your favourite to create. Of the 4 types in the Content Matrix, "TEACH" is our fave! I get it. It's where we feel most safe and comfortable!I am the same and gravitate to this TEACH quadrant too. Just remember, if we only publish "teach" content,
Each year I post a year in review highlighting the major breakthroughs and things I’m proud of. Following the lead of Noah Kagan and Seth Godin I take an annual look at what ‘I have shipped’. I do this activity as a reference for myself, and if other people find it interesting or useful, even
When you're creating your marketing plan for 2024 here are a few things to keep in mind. #1. Reflect on 2023. What went well (and I'll keep doing)? What didn't go well (and should I stop doing)? #2. Decide who does what. What will I do myself? I recommend sticking to your genius zone
AI (artificial intelligence) is all the rage right now, and I’m slowly getting my head around it all. Of course, I’ve been blown away by ChatGPT — but more on that later! Today I want to share Fathom AI which I love because it: records your Zoom meetings with time stamps transcribes it summaries it provides a…
Embracing imperfect action, patience, and showing up. In marketing, waiting for perfection will hold us back. Instead, celebrate ‘imperfect action’—the decision to start, the courage to ship, and the surrender to how it pans out. Every imperfect step forward brings us closer to our clients, and our goals and unlocks valuable relationships along the way.…
