EO - Year One

The first time I heard about EO, Entrepreneurs' Organization (a little over 12 months ago) I couldn’t believe that an organisation like that existed and that I had never heard of it. A year, 11 forums and a retreat later and I don’t know what I’d have done without it. 

For me the idea of forum, a group of strangers who become confidants and supporters, honest and upfront, trusting and also reliant seemed a little confronting but was also something I knew I needed. My day to day work sees me sitting in an office, alone, without the interaction and stimulation that I thrive on. No contemporaries to bounce ideas off no group idea generation. 


This is why the forum has been most rewarding. Each of us brings ideas, concepts, thoughts and feelings together once a month. We each become willing spectators (albeit with the ability of be a bit hands on) in each other journeys. 


For the past year my forum, Moso, have been involved with my journey rolling out the tech startup Woojer


No one in my forum had been involved with a tech start-up before, but the nature of EO means that it’s not an issue. Many experiences in business and life are similar and these common goals or understandings can be shared and knowledge transferred. Dealing with key stake holders, marketing, publicity, financial matters, stresses (and how to deal with them) to name a few.


Last week I made the spur of the moment decision to go to LA for the launch of Woojer. The first people I told were Moso. Making the decision to go has huge for me. It was so exciting and I know Moso were just as excited for my journey as I was.



Woojer is a personal subwoofer. 

Music lovers: the device makes you feel like you are physically at a concert. 

Gamers: it allows you to feel like you are physically a part of a game, feeling bullets, concussive blasts of explosions, people sneaking up behind you or any other sensory gaming experience. 


The hearing impaired: It gives anyone with low or no hearing the chance to enjoy a more sensory experience of the world around them.




We've received some great press from the likes of Forbes and All Things D

Do you remember the times (Blogging twice in one day is about as unusual as me blogging at all.)

I was looking though old family photos and came across this one from my birthday a few years back.

Im the one on the middle flanked by my 2 grandmothers. Rose one the left (dec, MHDSRIN) and Dinah on the right.







For me it was just another birthday playing the fool. For them it looks like a combination of entertainment, disbelief and bewilderment.

The waiting game

I could be doing more. but i can feel content doing nothing.

why try and inflame the issue with action. i feel content doing nothing.

mundane becomes a highlight. mundane is few and far between.

what is there now? i feel content doing nothing.

I got an iPhone

Well it happened. I tried not to buy into the the hype but in the end I think im now the one making it.

I so love my iPhone. I had bought a cover for it before it even arrived. It does so much and means so much to me. We care for each other.

I'm connected to the world where ever i am. YAY! so much better the people...Mostly.

OLD BLOG - Freedom of Speech

I found this old Blog from 2006.

It was when those Danish Cartoons came out. You remember!

any who...this is what i wrote.


Freedom of Speech

Can we all just grow up please.

No one wants to have their "Prophet" ridiculed.But...let's say our prophet is "characterized in a unsavoury way" would he/she want us to be intelligent, compassionate, educated, conciliatory about the whole thing, or would he/she want us to burn, destroy, scare, threaten, become violent.

I would offer the former as the choice of all Prophets.

NUFF SAID!
