Did you read that Ricky Gervais has quit Twitter? Lots of funny jokes about whether or not this makes him a Twitter Quitter etc. I don’t want or expect Ricky to change his mind but I want my clients and readers to understand why he is both right and wrong in making this decision. Here’s how he’s right. He says his bosses at the Golden Globes wanted him to make a running commentary via Twitter as he hosts the awards ceremony on 17th January. He’s then quoted as saying “I suppose it was meant to be a bit of a [...]
Thanks to the Fabulous Marie Taylor
Just a very short post to tell you about the four hours I spent with Marie Taylor on Saturday afternoon in the West End and to thank her for her time, support and humour.

The ongoing repercussions of that were, to a greater extent, still with me more than a decade later. And to a lesser extent they still are since I still carry some old bad debt. So I am somewhat seasoned in the bottom of cycles, as well as the rise and fall and the top. Does this make me more resilient than some? Perhaps. Or maybe it just makes me older! I’ve [...]
Do You Have What It Takes To Be Rich?
Philip Beresford, author of The Richest of the Rich, is quoted in today’s Mail on Sunday in an article about the Money Gene, thus: “You need massive energy, single-minded focus, self-confidence and the ability to arrange your social life so that it comes second.” What do you think? Do you have those qualities? Are you prepared for that sacrifice?
