Why I Built These Apps
Throughout more than 45 years of service across the military, government, corporate Australia, small business, ministry, and executive coaching, I’ve been privileged to help thousands of people navigate some of life’s biggest decisions.
Over those decades, I’ve accumulated lessons that were often learned the hard way—through leadership, success, failure, change, and thousands of coaching conversations. Too often, that knowledge remained available only to those who could sit across the table from me.
I wanted to change that.
These apps are my way of passing on a lifetime of practical wisdom. Each one captures proven frameworks, coaching techniques, and real-world experience, transforming them into tools that are available to anyone, anywhere, at any time.
My hope is that these apps help you avoid unnecessary mistakes, discover new possibilities, make better decisions, and have the confidence to pursue the life, career, business, or calling you were created for.
Knowledge only changes the world when it is shared.
This is my way of sharing mine.

Every year, thousands of Australians launch a business on instinct — and most sail blind. Bluenose Navigator changes that. It turns the chaos of starting up into a calm, charted course.
Before you spend a dollar, Bluenose proves whether your idea deserves one. A five-pillar readiness assessment — Direction, Hull, Wind, Crew and Voyage Control — scores exactly where your business stands, from vision and validation to money and discipline. Each pillar then opens into practical tools: vision builders, structure and compliance checklists for ABN, GST and ASIC, marketing and sales planners, capability mapping, and budget, break-even and cash-flow calculators.
When you’re stuck, ask the Captain. Built-in AI coaching gives plain-spoken, nautical advice drawn from your own numbers — no fluff, no jargon. When it’s time to pitch the bank, a partner or yourself, one tap produces a polished business plan or monthly navigation report as a PDF.
Whether you’re testing a side hustle or steering a full launch, Bluenose Navigator is the steady hand on the tiller. Download it today and sail your business with confidence.
Suitable for: Personal, Corporate use.
Business Tips — Practical Wisdom for the Real World of Business
Running a business can be a grand adventure—but it can also leave you wondering what to do next.
Across five volumes, Business Tips brings together practical insights developed to help business owners, entrepreneurs and leaders in their continual quest for improvement. The series explores the issues that confront leaders every day—from vision, growth, goal setting and action planning to leadership, communication, resilience, productivity and overcoming limiting beliefs.
Later volumes expand the journey into coaching, accountability, blind spots, fear and managing people, resilience, empathy and managing overwhelm, 90-day planning and overcoming procrastination, and contemporary leadership challenges including decision-making, communication, workplace coaching, difficult conversations and maintaining passion in business.
But knowledge only becomes valuable when you put it to work.
That’s why there’s the companion Business Tips App. It takes the thinking from the five-volume collection beyond the page and puts practical business guidance at your fingertips—when and where you need it.
Don’t just read about better business. Put it into action.
Read the Tips. Use the Tools. Take Action. Build Momentum.
Explore the five Business Tips volumes, then continue the journey with the Business Tips App.
Suitable for: Personal, Corporate use.
Chart the course. Then actually sail it.
Most business books get read on the couch and forgotten by Monday. The Grand Adventure app exists so that doesn’t happen again.
Built as the working companion to David Campbell’s book, The Grand Adventure of Business, it turns each chapter into a port of call — thirteen of them — where you don’t just read the idea, you apply it to your own business before you weigh anchor.
At every port, guided open-ended questions push you to think like a captain: where am I now, where am I headed, and what’s genuinely holding me back? Then the app drafts your orders for the day — a short list of actions, one behaviour to shift, and one accountability step to keep you honest.
Everything lands in your private logbook. Chapter briefs print cleanly for your desk, and when the voyage is done, a full voyage report packages your thinking into a plan you can act on — or hand to your crew.
One payment of A$20. Lifetime access on every device. No subscription, no renewal — just you, the book, and the wind at your back.
Your ship is waiting, Captain. Set sail today.
Suitable for: Personal, Corporate and Spiritual use.
Retirement isn’t a date. It’s a transition.
You’ve spent decades planning your career. Who’s planning your exit from it?
The Transition to Retirement Readiness app turns that nagging “Am I ready?” into a clear, honest answer. Work through 80 plain-language statements across ten topics — money, identity, health, relationships, purpose and more — and see exactly where you stand. No jargon. No financial product pitches. Just you, thinking properly about the biggest change of your adult life.
In about an hour, you’ll have your readiness score, your strongest areas, and the three things most worth working on first. Then turn insight into action with a structured 90-day plan, an action tracker, and reviews at day 30, 60 and 90 to keep you moving. Reassess whenever you like and watch your readiness grow.
Print your report to share with your partner, adviser or coach. Everything stays private — no account, no ads, no tracking — and you can start on your laptop and finish on your phone.
The first topic is free. Full access is one payment of AUD $20 — less than an hour with an adviser, for clarity that lasts the rest of your life.
Take the first step today.
Suitable for: Personal, Corporate use.
