During the last four decades, I have studied self-help, psychology, Human growth & development, and inter-faith based wisdom to enhance my overall education. During which time I have acquired a library of some hundreds of books in addition to drawing upon local libraries, as well as CDs and DVDs by various teachers. I also attended workshops and seminars by such industry great mentors such as Brian Tracy MBA, The Phoenix Seminar, Tom Peters MBA & PHD, In Search of Excellence Seminar, and some of Dr. Wayne Dyer talks e.g., The Power of Intention.

My long working life has been as both an employee and entrepreneur, as well as running my own businesses. I naturally gravitate more to the self-employment philosophy, and done so both in England and Canada.
