#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…
#0694 Today’s Task
A small amount every day adds up. Chipping away at smaller doable tasks today compounds into achieving bigger goals in the future. Consistency is the key to making things happen in a timeframe that feels…
#0690 Slow Gratification
Getting started is easy enough, sticking with it is the bigger challenge. In a world defined by instant gratification it is becoming increasingly rare to observe those playing the long game. Sticking with something long…
#0685 Simple Acts
Reciprocity vs Kindness. One has the expectation of getting something in return whilst the other sets no such expectation. Interpretation of your actions seem to vary person by person. Forced to defend my acts of…
#0678 Launch It
Half-arsed, almost there, a little more to do, not quite happy, half-baked, a bit more, ninety percent there, a few more tweaks, a bit distracted, too much going on, busy busy busy. Launch it already….

#0673 Persistence
You win some, you lose plenty. A memorable phrase for any sales person to accept. Part of the process is to filter out those who do not suit or are not ready for what it…
#0666 King Cash
Cash flow is still king. It gives you options, confidence to make decisions, to keep moving forward, to grow. It needs to be regular, predictable, secure, robust. Cash flow allows you to control your own…
#0662 Go Deep

#0660 A Simple Existence
Where does the time go. At the blink of an eye I find myself in the latter years thinking about how to make the most of whatever time is afforded me. We spend so much…

#0651 Navigating New
It has taken humans millions of years to evolve and AI just a whisper of time. Of course it will be flawed, a minefield of questions and many rabbit holes to explore. On your personal…
#0650 Addiction
It is difficult to distinguish between busy and productive. Just because you are sitting at your desk doing stuff, does not always equate to stuff that matters. The list is seductive, as is ticking off…
#0649 Breakthrough
It is too hard, so we stop. We reach our limit of patience, expertise, will, desire. It is no longer enjoyable so why continue. When you persist through the urges to give up is often…
