The Decision Matrix

Sunday, 25th July 2010

('DiggThis’) Share



Hey Hey! Last week I was participating in the #jobhunt chat on Twitter and we were talking about how to choose the right job when dealing with two job offers and I put forward my theory on using a decision matrix. @jobsessed caught onto the theory and wanted a detailed explanation of what exactly is a decision matrix and how could it be used to help people decide between two jobs. So here’s a quick video about my Decision Matrix.




So this week’s challenge is to download the Decision Matrix template and use it for a particular decision in your life. Don’t forget to leave a comment below or send me a message on Twitter (@BLKMGK01 to tell me how it worked out for you.

Stroke of Genius

Hey Hey! Last week I spent a bit of time on Twitter and came across some really interesting tweets from people tweeting about crazy inventions. Each tweet had a tag line of “Stroke of Genius” attached to it so I was curious to find out what was going on. When I delved into it further I found out that the tweets were part of a really cool competition called “Stroke of Genius” run by the Stroke Foundation of Australia to celebrate the creativity of the brain. What a awesome idea! Here’s a quick video of what I discovered:




For those of you who can’t see the video, here’s some quick facts about Stroke in Australia:


- Stroke is Australia’s second single greatest killer after coronary heart disease and a leading cause of disability.


- In the next ten years more than half a million people will suffer a stroke.


- Stroke kills more women than breast cancer.

So this week I challenge you to visit the Stroke of Genius website and register your genius idea to help raise awareness of this medical condition.

Entrepreneurial Advice - Dragons Den

Sunday, 4th July 2010

('DiggThis’) Share



I LOVE the world of business. To me it’s not just about making money (okay that is a big part of it) but for me personally it’s the ideas and the people behind the business that really makes me passionate about it. I love hearing both success and failure stories of entrepreneurs because you can learn so much from them. Dragon’s Den is a tv show about business and since I LOVE business I was firmly hooked on the series.


Dragon’s Den is all about fledging entrepreneurs getting the chance to pitch their business ideas to a panel of seriously successful business people - The Dragons. It’s essentially a venture capital show that allows the successful business people to invest in an entrepreneurial idea in exchange for a share in the business. In typical TV style there’s moments created by careful editing to put together scenarios that are meant to be entertaining to a tv audience but in general the show is about entrepreneurship.


Personally I love the way The Dragons interrogate the entrepreneurs that present their ideas to them. Some of them are just ideas that are not workable as a business but others are interesting opportunities to make a lot of money for the stakeholders of that business. As well as a cash investment, The Dragons help to add value to the businesses which in turn adds value to their return on investment. It’s a brilliant show and I’m seriously hooked! Here check out a clip from the UK series:




Now since I’m passionate about business and there’s a bunch of Dream,Build,Inspire,Lead! readers who are in business or thinking of starting one, I thought I’d focus this week’s post on showcasing some of the best secrets to being successful in Business by each of the Dragons. Let’s meet them:

Theo Paphitis




Duncan Bannatyne




Peter Jones




James Caan




Deborah Meaden




So this week I challenge you, if you already are in a business or thinking of starting one, put some of these golden tips into action and let me know how you go. Good luck!


Dream, Build, Inspire, Lead!
