Missing Link
Resistance is feedback. Not now. Too busy. Other priorities. No budget. Fallbacks for; I’m not sure what to do with what I know about what you do, so it’s easier to push it out. What…
#0713 Turn Down the Noise
Stop here or keep moving. A choice you will make hundreds if not thousands of times every. single. day. With the volume turned up to eleven, we are inundated with choices, most of which you…
#0712 Roadblocks Rock
We’d never have rivers if water gave up when an obstacle felt too big. The light bulb, the plane and countless other innovations, all exist because they found a way. Nothing amazing happens in a…
#0711 Turning Up
If there was no 9-5 and you could work whenever you wanted, would more or less work get done? My guess is, for the vast majority it would be less. Discipline is more often mandated…
#0710 Change of Focus
Your intention is being hijacked by your attention. What you allow to fill your day may be robbing you of your dream outcomes. You may be busy, but what exactly is taking up your time….
#0709 Half an Ass
If you have too many nothing will get finished. Big goals break into projects, which in turn break into many tasks. The more big goals you have, the more the tasks compound into never ending…
#0708 Choose Wisely
I wish I could do it all, but I can’t. Throughout life we are faced with choices of what to do and when. As time goes on you realise it’s not about doing it all,…
#0707 Superpowers
It takes years to become an overnight success. Grinding, experimenting, failing, hitting lows, picking yourself up, going again. Not much in this world comes without effort. How much patience, resilience, self awareness and self forgiveness…
#0706 Peacocking
Being invisible in the market even though you are actively promoting isn’t about being absent, it’s about misinterpretation. People see you, but don’t really know what to do with you. The answer isn’t more posting,…
#0705 Client Needs First
Demand is not about your revenue goals for this month, that’s a consequence. Demand is the alignment of what your clients need, when they need it, based off what you can do for them at…
#0704 Knee Deep
You are too shallow. Ticking the box is great, but stopping there just makes you busy. Getting the task done feels like an achievement but to go from good to great you must go deeper….
#0703 Ambiguity
The need for more leads is a symptom, not the root cause. Lack of leads starts with lack of clarity. Who are you serving, what problem are you solving, are they actively seeking the resolution…
#0702 Deafening Silence
Silence is often feedback, not always rejection. When a client doesn’t get back to you, move forward, go all in, does not mean they don’t need what you have to offer, it means you weren’t…
#0701 New Month’s Resolution
They really do go faster. As each year ticks over it is easy to look back with achievement, regret, elation, sadness, fear or optimism, maybe a combination. Whichever emotion dominates use it as fuel to…
#0700 Mile Markers
Are we there yet. Cry’s heard frequently on every family road trip since travel was a thing. From and early age we are conditioned to get to the destination so the fun can begin. Yet…
#0699 One More
Just do one more. If you normally stop at ten, do eleven. Doesn’t sound like much but it’s ten percent more. Stretching just a little bit adds up and can turn into hundreds with consistency….
#0698 You Not Them
Mind your own damn business. Funnel that energy into self, family, friends and your livelihood. The world would be a different place.
#0697 Select With Purpose
Words have power, they also have consequence. Each carry meaning, context is important, interpretation is everything. No matter what you meant, how it’s received is what really counts. Choose wisely.
#0696 The Last Mile Counts
Time appears to slow down the closer you get to a goal. Getting to eighty percent seems to happen overnight but the last twenty takes forever and is the period when we are at risk…
#0695 Random Conversations
How did I end up here. You’re free styling in a conversation with a friend about housing prices and end up talking about the extinction of the Dodo. Without direction or purpose the number of…
