In the first part of this series, I compared becoming a new parent to nurturing relationships with new customers (and also managing their payments). The intent was for entrepreneurs to take 5 minutes every now and then to reflect on one element of their businesses to help them grow. In this article, I will focus on […]
I recently became a parent. For those who have gone through this experience, you’ll know it’s an emotional one, and the way you view the world changes. Even if that change is only because you are viewing it through half-closed eyes because of a lack of sleep. For those that don’t have children, the experience […]
Imagine a small child embarking on their first trip in an aeroplane. The excitement of the trip to come, the cute, Disney bag packed (maybe large enough to ride around the airport) and a long, tiring walk through the terminal. Then they’re quickly strapped into seat, a friendly pat on the head from a steward […]
Near the end of the 2017, I read an interesting article by Microsoft’s Brad Smith, which was written as part of celebrating the completion of a 4,000-mile-long, sub-sea, communications cable between North America and Spain. The laying of this cable is an impressive achievement, as well as the fact that it can apparently transmit eight times […]

Sage Summit 2016 was an amazing event! There were incredible keynote speakers, such as Richard Branson and Ashton Kutcher, countless opportunities to have meaningful conversations with Sage business partners and customers, there were the Sage product roadmaps and new technology, and then there was Hello Pegg. It was the latter of that list that got […]
At the Google I/O conference, 18-20 May 2016, Google & Sage presented a prototype that allowed customers to create Google Sheets reports directly from Accounting (using Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud). It also allowed the Google Sheets report to be automatically updated from Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud based on customer or data changes while maintaining any […]
Sage Summit 2015 has sadly come and gone, and the excitement of what is to be, is quickly being translated into game–changing solutions. Since my arrival back home in South Africa, the one question I am constantly asked is “What was it like”? And it was this question that got me thinking as I best […]
