Sometimes you just need to break the rules
When we look closely at our workplace, we realize that to be successful, employees don't necessarily need to work 8 hours a day. In fact, no employee ever does. Their billable hours range quite low and in most cases less than 50% of the time.

Is life just a big fat con?
When I was a child, I thought I would grow up, have a successful career, get married, have children and live happily ever after.
But that was what we were always led to believe. That's what happens in life... right or at least we were told.

Why we accept marketing internships at Marketing Eye
Marketing Eye has always accepted internships ever since we were first approached by an overseas University. The reason being that many Universities around the world require internships abroad and they struggle to find one's that they are able to get into, as it isn't always common place in Australia.
Our interns have been amazing. They work on client accounts predominantly depending on capabilities on market research, databases, strategies, inside sales platforms, content development, social media and idea generation.

The lone wolf entrepreneur is out there, more than you think
I was driving to work today, and I really need to put diesel in my car. It is the one thing I hate, but fortunately, I literally fill my car up once ever 6 weeks or so. I don't drive much as I am never in town. I thought to myself how annoying it is to fill my car up and how I wish I had someone to do it for me. It's just a task that seems pointless other than the real fact that if I don't fill it up, I will be on the side of the road.
Which brought me to the fact that on my 5 minute drive to work, 3 cars were being removed by trucks because they had been left overnight and at 7am in the morning, the road doesn't allow parking. It was 7.01am.

Your life is now played out in public - and I don't like it - do you?
Last night I attended an event just for an hour or so that my friend was hosting. I caught up with a few people and without realizing it, had to take a few steps back.
The reason being is sometimes things are best left in the past, especially people, and who wants to know what someone else is doing? I certainly don't.
