By Brack Johnson Dad's wearing the "Kiss the Cook" apron you gave him for Father's Day. Family and friends are gathered in the backyard. Picnic tables are groaning with lemonade, ice tea, deviled eggs, baked beans, potato chips, coleslaw and watermelon. Everything's in place for the best barbecue ever. Wait just a minute. Where's the beef? It's not in this article. We're giving the cows a day off. Here are recipes for everything else - from salad to fish to dessert - that can go on a grill.

What to do in the face of adversity
By Ellen Jackson | April 20, 2020 Devastated after an ultrasound showed our baby had a one in nine chance of chromosomal abnormality, I rang my closest friend for support. When my tears were spent, she said gently, “You know what? One in nine sounds bad. It is bad. But there’s an 89 per cent likelihood that the baby is fine. They’re good odds.” Instantly I felt a shift. She was right. I was intent on what might go wrong when it was far more likely that everything would be fine.

6 psychology podcasts for parents to help understand kids better
Psychology podcasts have become my go-to for expanding my knowledge of human behaviour while I’m on the go. I listen while driving and love that I can be inspired, entertained and educated while getting from point A to point B.

How to Smash Your Blogging Goals in Just 5 Days
This post is by ProBlogger expert Ellen Jackson of Potential Psychology Have you ever uttered the phrase, ‘One day I’ll…’? Of course you have. We all have.

How to Harness Your Personality and Become a Better Blogger
This post comes to us courtesy of ProBlogger psychology expert Ellen Jackson Are you a scheduler? Or do you publish as you write? Do you delegate? Or is your need for the nitty-gritty too great? I’d love to be the writer with the annual content calendar, or the leader who entrusts my big ideas to others. I’ve filled a thousand spreadsheets with good intentions, only to find them languishing and incomplete months later. I’ve dabbled with VAs, and had my control freak tendencies laid bare.
The Psychology of Comparison and How to Stop
Bloggers, solopreneurs, consultants, writers, founders – we’re solo species. Lone hustlers, tucked in cafe corners with laptops and lattes. We’re perched at breakfast bars tapping keyboards in the early morning light. Hunched at the spare room desk deep into the night. We’re inspired and driven. Focused and fearless. Joyous in our independence. And often consumed by what others are doing.
5 Ways to Write Faster
Running a business is a time suck of epic proportion. Planning, administration, product development, sales, delivery, email, bookkeeping, social media, marketing. It takes time. Throw in a family and you flit from demand to crisis without a moment to reheat that cup of tea you made three hours ago. Your blog post – that important but not urgent task – is often the victim of the go-go-go life.

Why is great writing irresistible to your reader? And how to you do more of it? Here’s six tips from psychology for creating content your audience can’t resist. Tip 1: Don’t write like a psychologist It has taken me years to unlearn the habits of indecipherable academic writing.
Where Will Your Great Ideas Come From?
I have big plans for 2017, blog-wise and business-wise. I bet you do too. My word for this year is ‘bigger.’ I’m going to think bigger, to play bigger. After a year of hard work and incremental improvement it’s time for a quantum leap. It’s time to shake things up; to think differently about what I do. A new year is a great time to plan, to get organised and to come up with your big ideas. But where do these great ideas come from?

My Huckleberry Friend
Unless you live in the Pacific Northwest, chances are your “experience” with huckleberries has been limited to pop culture: Huckleberry Hound of cartoon fame; “I’m your huckleberry,” a 19th century slang phrase made famous by Doc Holliday; Mark Twain’s character Huckleberry Finn, first introduced in “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”; and “my huckleberry friend” from the lyrics of “Moon River” as sung by Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Huckleberries also make a darn good pie.
7 Sanity Saving Tips for Launching Your Online Course
This is a guest contribution from ProBlogger Expert Ellen Jackson of Potential Psychology If you are going through hell, keep going – Winston Churchill In December last year I hit publish and launched my first online course. I’d love to tell you that I sat and watched the dollar metre click over as funds swelled my Paypal account but this is not a rags to riches tale. It’s more The Little Engine That Could. I was unschooled in online marketing of an e-product (Read: I had NFI.
5 Books for the Entrepreneurs
Here's something a little different... Next month marks 14 years since I became a business owner. In April 2002 I decided that there were no forms of 'employment' that suited me or my goals. I applied for an ABN (Australian Business Number), conjured up a business name (that I still love today) and I set out to make myself an income on my own terms. I had very little idea how I was going to do it but for the past 14 years I have figured it out, year by year, month by month and sometimes day by day.
The Cult of Thermomix and Why We Get So Angry
Before you adopt your pro or anti Thermomix stance, let me assure you that this post is not about Thermomixes. Food preparation, beyond the necessary, is not really my thing and I must admit that I have never laid eyes on a TMX (I have been reading a lot of forum posts about them though - hence I'm down with the acronym *wink*) This post was prompted by the passionate reaction to this very distressing story about a woman burnt in an alleged Thermomix failure.
