I have arrived in Sydney to speak at a conference on the subject of Intellectual Property for Thought Leaders particularly speakers, authors, trainers, mentors, coaches and facilitators. I love having easy access to the print version of the Sydney Morning Herald. Have been reflecting on the differences between business sentiment here and at home as reflected in the papers versus anecdotally in conversation with SME owners. Maybe reality is not as different as portrayed! Whatever the answer we need some better ideas in NZ for kick starting the economy. I think we need to start with better cash flow management and respect across the board.
