Stephen Covey is back in South Africa on 14 March 2006 and the seminar will be hosted at Gallagher Estate Conference Centre. He is the author of the very successful and absolutely amazing book, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. And I recently listened to a terrific interview with him by Tony Robbins. Having read the book a while ago I never really appreciated its impact as much as I do now. And I am intergrating the principles into my life. You may also want to checkout his new book, The 8th Habit. Read More →

Expresso Dating Guide

Yahoo! Personals, one of the biggest international online dating websites has teamed up with relationship expert Dr Logan Levkoff and produced the Expresso Dating Guide. It's just so clear to me now that because of all the hype around romance, falling in love, and upcoming Valentine's Day most people throw common sense out the window. Someoneone once told a story of a survey where they asked men and women if they would have sex with someone they only knew for 2 weeks. Most said they would. The same group was asked if they would borrow their car to someone Read More →

The Myth of Love in the 21st Century

This is an article I wrote in 2002 and I'm republishing it here now that we're getting closer to Valentine's Day where all women go cookoo and men fall over their feet to please them... As we approach Valentine's Day its imperative we re-look the meaning of love in modern society. Is love in the 21st century really the same thing as it always was throughout history? The love talked about in the great mythical tales of Romeo & Juliet and Anthony & Cleopatra. Lets look at the definition of love and proceed from there. The common meaning of love is Read More →

Unconditional Love minus Putting Up with Bullshit equals Happiness

This is a lesson I've learnt from Stéphane Hémon, a Montreal based Seduction Guru who teaches Unconditional Love. Since discovering his teachings last year I read all the archives of Stephane's newsletter. Tonight I'm a little sad because I had to let go of a woman I really love. And its weird because I am sad yet there is no more crying. And the lesson is really that she does not believe I can love her in the way I've described. And she wants me to "Fall in Love" with her. This is the bullshit we have to put Read More →

I Have a Dream, You Have a Dream

As you may know I live in Johannesburg, the New York City of Africa. And we have this talk radio station 702 which is very popular. My favourite show is the Tim Modise show from 9am-12 every week day. I highly recommend you listen to him via the Internet on www.702.co.za and especially his weekly interview with Dr Helgo Schomer a Psychologist from University of Cape Town. Well one day Tim played Martin Luther King Jr's famous "I Have a Dream" speech and took a number of calls. Now for those of you who don't know me I Read More →

Drifting, witout aim or purpose, is the first cause of Failure

I got this from the Napoleon Hill Foundation, "Without a plan for your life, it is easier to follow the course of least resistance, to go with the flow, to drift with the current with no particular destination in mind. Having a definite plan for your life greatly simplifies the process of making hundreds of daily decisions that affect your ultimate success. When you know where you want to go, you can quickly decide if your actions are moving you toward your goal or away from it. Without definite, precise goals and a plan for their achievement, each decision Read More →

Love Smart advice from Dr Phil McGraw

An early exercise suggests that women make detailed lists of the qualities they're looking for in a mate; five broad categories cover everything from social skills to physical appearance. Once a clear picture is formed of the ideal partner, it all boils down to marketing. Dr. Phil discusses conversation skills such as developing "icebreaker" questions and even digs up some of the old-school techniques that suggest checking headlines just to offer up-to-date topics, and making sure to ask questions about your date, rather than revealing much about Read More →

Online dating tips: The honest truth

MOST dating advice tells you to be honest, but what does this really mean? Often people confuse "honesty" with "revealing everything" - but can we be too honest, and can it lose us dates? There are four common mistakes people make about honesty. 1. Confusing honesty with self-criticism People worry that if they don't tell their potential date everything right away it may cause problems in the future. To avoid disappointment, people describe themselves far too literally. Take Juliet, stunningly pretty and a size 18. Worried potential dates might not like her; she described herself as a large lady. Not surprisingly she didn't get Read More →
