Welcome to

irst things first.
Happy New Year to you and your family! I hope you had a restful and reflective Christmas season and are ready and raring to go in 2014! Again we are incredibly excited about this third issue of the magazine, especially after the amazing feedback we have received about the previous issues. This New Year issue is all about engaging, encouraging and equipping you for 2014. For many people 2013 was a tough year and I guess many are thinking what will be different about this year. The answer is really down to you. You can bounce back from any set back that life has thrown at you. You do have what it takes!
As usual the magazine covers entrepreneurial news, personal well being tips and information on incorporating social causes into your entrepreneurial activities. Of course, we provide business insight, money education, training tips and more. Our aim as always is to provide you with entrepreneurial tales, tools and tips. With a number of new contributors we are poised to do just that. So, engage with it, enjoy it and use the magazine as a tool to get you ready to have an amazing year!
Colin
In fact, this is the story of Nelson Mandela, who bounced back from the kind of set back most of us probably wouldn’t. Our cover story looks into the life of this remarkable political and social entrepreneur who when he died was celebrated as a global icon whose impact even he couldn’t have anticipated.

According to Malcolm Gladwell, small is the new big thing! David and Goliath is the thought provoking new book from bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell. In the book, he essentially asks the question ‘Why do underdogs succeed so much more than we expect?’ and ‘How do the weak outsmart the strong?’
Using anecdotal evidence from historical moments such as the conflicts in Northern Ireland and the strategies of the civil rights leaders he overturns conventional thinking about power and advantage. If you liked Blink, Tipping Point & Outliers, you’ll love this.
