In the past I’ve had clients send me nice emails after completing their projects.(Especially if completed before the deadline – taking pressure off of them!) But this is the first time I’ve ever had someone who was so pleased they wrote a mini-song…

“There ain’t no free lunches in this country. And don’t go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You’ve got to say, ‘I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.’ It’s called perseverance.”
Lee Iacocca
Businessman and Former CEO of Chrysler
Perseverance. - I want it bad enough!
Here’s a few of my other favourite motivational and inspirational quotes…
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won’t. – Henry Ward Beecher
Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves. – Dale Carnegie
When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”

Here’s one of three cartoons I recently completed for Max Halberg of 50Media
“We like to think outside the box. This is a broad term because we don’t want to limit ourselves. Depending on what it is you do we’d love to brainstorm some great methods to increase your online exposure whether it be through video, graphics, or social media networks.” ~ Max Halberg
Here’s a report that I read and some of the points really ‘hit home’, so I decided I’d have some fun and illustrate it with cartoons. Hope you enjoy it too!?
Inside this report you will find out why there are still as
many people struggling through life as there used to be,
despite more and more self-help books being sold than ever
before.
The answer lies, not in the content of the books, or the
quality of the authors, but in the person who reads them.
By their very nature, self-help books can’t give you what
you want. The path to success is completely different for
everybody…so one size never fits all.
So lets get started and find out…
REASON #1 – You never act on the information you read in
self-help books.
Reading the latest book by your favourite self-help author
may be interesting, even enlightening, but it is money
wasted if you just read the book, and do nothing else.
It seems that a lot of people want to champion the fact that
they have read “hundreds” of self-help books. For all the
good it has done them, they might as well have read hundreds
of novels!
You can get something out of every self-help book you read
…if you actually do something with the information rather
than just read it. By their very nature, these books should
be treated as life “User Guides” and dipped into at regular
intervals for inspiration.
If you do read a book from cover-to-cover make sure that you
have made notes about those “Ah ha” moments that you should
have had if the book has lived up to it’s promises.
The best thing of all to do is to summarize the book
yourself…by understanding the information on your own
terms you will be more able to focus on what you can apply
in real life.
REASON # 2 – You can never imagine yourself as a success.
It’s all the doom and gloom in the news again this week. What with a
possible double dip recession talked about I’ve decided to switch the TV
off and engross myself in some positive thinking. Which triggered the idea
for this cartoon.
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
