Welcome to my personal & business web site which I promote under the name of ethilogik, a  consultancy focusing on business and personal development, mentoring and building successful teams to share in the benefits of marketing first-to-market technologies from quality companies with huge potential, both within New Zealand and overseas.  

I enjoy business immensely:  after all, it’s  more fun when we are making money!  Am I right? 

But money is not the primary motivator, as I believe a greater and nobler purpose is to help make a difference in the lives of others - whether young executives striving to develop their careers and provide for their families, or helping provide for children starving overseas in impoverished countries.

My motivation in creating this web site, after considerable encouragement from my friends and colleagues, is simply to provide a forum by which I can share knowledge, experience, perspectives, insights and tips that I have acquired over a long and successful career spanning numerous sectors and professions.  Along the way, I have had the good fortune to work alongside, and learn from, some outstanding business people, politicians, community leaders and people from all walks of life

Life has been good to me and it is a privilege to be able to assist those who follow to achieve success in whatever fields they wish to pursue.  If this web site enables this to happen in some small way, then I am happy.  I have enjoyed an interesting journey so far and believe the best is yet to come!

Being born in New Zealand to immigrant Greek parents in the early 1950s, I grew up speaking only one language - Greek - as my parents scarcely knew any English at the time.

So, when I started at primary school, I did not understand a single word of English.  Yet within a few years, I skipped a class on the basis of my English language skills!  This demonstrated to me at a very early age something that my beloved late mother would often repeat to me:  "You can achieve anything you want, if you want it badly enough."  It is a lesson that has served me well in both the past and the present, when I am now enjoying my lifestyle more than ever, even while continuing to build new businesses that will surpass anything I have previously achieved.

I hope you stop here a while, peruse the material, enjoy what you read and find it helpful.  I look forward to your feedback or questions as I really enjoy interacting with and helping people who are pursuing their dreams.
