Researching the title “business savvy”, and releasing it doesn’t necessarily describe what people do differently with “savvy” rather than without. Dr. Raymond R. Reilly of the Ross School of Business (University of Michigan) and Dr. Gregory P. Reilly (University of Connecticut) document traits individuals with business savvy tend to possess:

Video Update
Very excited! Saw the first cut of the new video I filmed today. Still in its ‘raw’ state, obviously needs dressing - graphics, perhaps a soundtrack, etc but even so Jonathan Crane of Perpetual Films has done a fantastic first job (I’ll be working with him again).
Will let you know when the video is up and rocking.
Boogie boogie!
Mastermind Group Success

"Your True Voice" (Part 6): Purpose
Money is a very important and vital component for living a comfortable life, though it’s not the most important.
Time - each moment of every day, is a gift that is offered once, and when it’s gone, it really is gone. Hence, time is your most valuable asset.
However, there is a caveat…the quality of return you can expect to get back from time investment is also naturally affected...

Mastermind Group Launch Date
I’m really excited to announce the launch date for the Business Savvy Mastermind Group in London - Thursday 19th April. I know from 20 years personal experience as a singer and actor and 10 years as a coach how many artists struggle and never quite make it to the point they can live successfully from what they do.
The Business Savvy Mastermind Group will be a “think-tank” of...
"Your True Voice" Part 5: Courage.
To be successful in the arts as a performer or creative you need bags of courage! Whilst some might mistake courage for loudness and physical strength, it’s the opposite. Real courage is about having the ability to stand up for what you do even when you feel you can’t. It’s speaking when you fear no one will listen. It’s carrying on when you feel like giving up.
Finding your true voice is about...

Your True Voice: Intro
Whilst accepting her awards at the recent Grammys ceremony in LA singer Adele thanked the surgeons that had saved her voice – and you could see she meant it.
Whether in the raucousness of her laughter, the occasional tear shed at the end of a song, or the tendency to talk with the audience with the honesty more associated with friends chatting at home, Adele really does demonstrate an incredible...
