Well the ME MYTH is getting bigger by the day. Some airport bookshop signage has started going up around the country and even I found it kind of fun and more than a little disconcerting to have me starting down at, well, ME. And to all of my friends and fans who happen to have my number – whilst I appreciate the calls – I know the signs are there!!!! Enjoy – and remember you are being watched.

Well after a lot of work by my wonderful web development team, City of Cairns, my new website and blog is now live. I would sincerely appreciate your feedback, initial thoughts and general comments. This is the fourth evolutionary stage of my website and I am very happy with it. There is more video content, more information overall and a much easier navigation system. In the coming months there will be facilities to book online for my events and we will also be launching my online shop. So keep one eye on this space. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nicky, Linda and Kaj and the entire City of Cairns web development team for doing an exceptional job and I highly recommend them for any web project you may have in mind. 

The new look and feel site is live, so please take a moment and drop a comment in the box below. 

Cheers,

Andrew

Hello to all visitors to my BLOG. I get asked by a lot of small business owners if I would be prepared to put together a forum where business owners could get together and share information, solve problems, support one another and generally interact. I think this is a great idea, as long it is easy to use, not filled with junk and that people actually are participating.

Could anyone who is interested perhaps take a moment to give me some feedback about this idea? Particularly what you would like to see on a site like this and what kind of topics would you like covered. I will of course provide my own input and invite other people to do likewise. If you think it is a good idea – we will do it. 

Many thanks for your support, and your comments on my blog. I always welcome feedback, comments and suggestions to make it better. A lot of people visit this blog even if they don’t make comments. All information shared will help others.
