Some Things to Consider... before we meet!
When I chose to retire early it was an intentional withdrawal of my talent and support for business in general, because I became very disenchanted with the wide spread level of deceit and lack of integrity. I simply refused to support business that, irrespective of whether levied against staff, suppliers, or consumers, would consistently put profit before the wellbeing of people. I became seriously disillusioned and embittered by those who showed no sign of humanity in their daily process of business.

I retired to begin an entirely different profession; one that at the core is first and foremost an empowering support system for people in their daily lives. After many years of development in theory I founded a very different way of looking at "Life Purpose" as both cause and resolve of health related human challenges. BioEnergyTherapy.com is where you will find a very effective practice of Life Strategy that analytically reconciles why challenges are purposefully presented in life. It and its tools are a means to understand how and why the subsequent stress of such challenges develops into health disorder and then these provide guidance to the resolve of stress and relief of related disorders. Hundreds of people have experienced long term and permanent relief from chronic conditions as pain, fatigue, disease, depression etc., with example cases of Fibromyalgia completely resolved to more than fourteen years symptom free. So this has been the primary focus of my life for some time, however, my prior marketing career still lingers in the background.

Over the years, those reputable acquaintances who know my hidden marketing and design skills have been relentless in seeking my help and would not allow me to completely withdraw from my prior career. As result, I have at times come reluctantly forward to help the marketing of business and products. More and more I seem to be involved in development of consumer presentations but I do restrict my involvements to helping those people who show heart and compassion and a willingness to always operate on a win-win-win basis and who never knowingly disadvantage people in the pursuit of profit.
I do not help everyone who asks.

When I am helping in this business development capacity I am first a marketing consultant who is a very capable designer and photographer, so, I am also disinterested in developing anything poorly or without good marketing reason. If you are simply looking for an artist or photographer to do the handwork for the vision you have in your mind, there are lots of fine young artists who will jump at the chance to do your bidding. I am not the aid you need. The criterion for development of the best marketing direction is not whether you like it; it is whether it functions as communication to motivate the mass market. This has little to do with any personal bias of any one individual. I have provided the Marketing Smart tutorial to help anyone find their own way to success irrespective of whether I am willing to help them.

If and when I work, I do not set out to make things pretty or do what you have in mind, I analyse your business and engineer communications that achieve specific goals set by the communication objectives. By virtue of being a capable designer, the outcome will always be "pretty" but in marketing the aesthetics is a secondary concern to accomplishing specific communication strategies that work for you. If you read these Marketing Smart pages you will begin to understand that marketing design is not subjective to anyone's personal tastes; so only if you are willing to get out of your own way is there possibility for any effort to succeed in marketing your business.
