Taking Care of Business

Business is immensely rewarding yet extremely tough, rather like parenting. My purpose in writing this book is to encourage you that you are not alone in your daily struggles and the various challenges you encounter.

Our business began to provide us the flexibility needed to work around our young family, and twenty years later it has matured into adulthood. This didn’t happen without the inevitable growth spurts and pains, triumphs and tantrums, highs and lows.

I hope that some of the twenty lessons I’ve shared will motivate you on your own journey, and help you to enjoy the adventure of business more daily.

Plan G

Your life is your opportunity to encounter God and His intentions for you.

Plan G is the blueprint to discover God’s plan and purpose for your life. It’s worth remembering that only God can enter your life knowing your future and with the correct viewpoint. Given this foreknowledge, what we all really need is His Plan G – God’s plan – which is about His unfailing goodness to all generations and comes with an eternal, not just a lifetime, guarantee.

It’s God’s great rescue plan for His most precious creation – mankind. It’s like no other plan ever devised. It is timeless, priceless and matchless and there’s a place within it just for you. If you’ve tried plan A without success and your plan B hasn’t worked either, it’s time for you to discover Plan G: the grand design for all time; the plan for mankind from beginning to end. May God bless you and reveal His truth to you as you read about and join the dots of His marvellous plan.

George

George tells the life story of George T Tilston, who experienced his fair share of trouble and sorrow in his first threescore and ten years: two world wars, a great depression and a deep recession to name a few.

On the verge of reaching his seventieth birthday he did ‘fly away’ – not off the perch exactly, but off to Perth in Western Australia – propelled by the love for his family and the promise of a new beginning.

A Compendium of Hazard and Risk Knowledge + HSE Terminology

An indispensable resource for anyone who needs to know the vital terms used by HSE practitioners when communicating occupational health, safety and environment issues.

That liquid spill on your factory floor – is it an incident, an accident or a hazardous event? The question might seem a bit nonsensical but each of these terms has a very specific meaning in the fi eld of health, safety and environment (HSE).

Mastering the specific terminology or jargon is key to HSE, like any area of business. In the case of HSE, however, knowing the exact meaning of terms is particularly critical because confusion over terminology can, and does, lead to dangerous situations and accidents. This is partly because many of the terms have generic wider meanings in addition to their specific HSE meaning, as suggested above, for example ‘incident’, ‘accident’, ‘event’, ‘hazard’ and even ‘bowtie’. These all have very specific meanings and if all parties aren’t using them in the same way then it’s harder to manage or even describe a potentially dangerous situation.

This alphabetical guide describes many key terms in the HSE fi eld clearly and concisely, to make sure there’s no doubt what they mean. It’s written in English that’s easy for everyone to understand because in this area there’s no room for confusion or ambiguity.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF LEGACY?

Subject all layers of your self-development process to a rigorous but well-articulated degree of discipline and watch yourself break new grounds for all to see.

Every exceptional invention was brought to LIGHT from this dry, unrealistic, uncertain, confused starting point. YOU do not need all the fact to be excellent and great. You do not need permission to do little things in extraordinary ways, you just need to be true to achieving the general good of all; that is the reason great achievements are deemed as BREAKTHROUGHS.

You can be truly exceptional in your life if you want to. Be that SHINING DIAMOND in the dark places and believe YOU TOO can shine bright like a DIAMOND.
