Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot and general life experiences. You can read my posts here.

(If you are looking for the Content is King post by Bill Gates it is here)

I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:

  • The first is XEN Systems. We help government departments and mid-large B2B technology companies with their sales and marketing strategy, including implementation and training in HubSpot 
  • The second is XEN Create. We provide premium graphic design services to companies, with a focus on using the latest AI tools, including Midjourney
  • The third is XEN Solar, where we help high quality solar companies (dealers, installers) with their sales and marketing processes.

I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.

SOFTWARE: Office 2007 Upgrade stumbles

S

So, I ‘finally’ {g} upgraded to Office 2007. Nothing particularly interesting about that, except to say that I too am indebted to Scott Hanselman (along with many thousands around the globe…) I experienced the dreaded ‘…cannot upgrade from a prerelease version of 2007 Microsoft Office system…’ message. But Scott guided me through it all with his...

Chris Sainty has a quick rundown of his topic on his blog here plus a link to the materials he presented.

PERSONAL: Congratulations to Michele

P

The results came out on Monday, and I’m very proud to inform that Michele has been awarded First Class Honours in her Psychology degree. Further, her thesis on Happiness has been recommended for publication (this is a big thing in psychology as it needs to be peer reviewed before any reputable psychology publication will even consider it – unlike say the IT field where publication is...

PERSONAL: Twin Cities update

P

So, life is interesting in Minneapolis currently. The last week has been very child focussed {g}. Jack (my newest nephew) and Jackie came home from hospital and are doing well. I now have a great empathy for new parents. Not that I’ve had anywhere near the stress, joy, lack of sleep, concern, excitement and life that James and Jackie have had this last week, but I’ve certainly...

PERSONAL: Australia prominent in US news

P

Great to see that Australia looms large on the global arena. After reading through USA Today, Investor’s Business Daily and The Wall Street Journal, here’s the sum total of the references to Australia (down the bottom of the screenshot).Makes me proud. Here’s the lame article it refers to in Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph.No wonder many countries are bemused about us folks...

PERSONAL: Minneapolis update

P

Note: This is a personal (and thus perhaps boring to many) post. A while back I combined all my blogs into one and simply prefixed each post title with a label. So, if you are only interested in VFP then feel free to skip this and any other non-VFP related entries :-) But, to the readers who have stayed on (hi Mum) I hope you enjoy the update: The last few days have been great. We started out...
