#0565 Too Much Noise
Having spent just a few days off grid, you realise that most of the day to day communication forced upon you is just noise. Adding almost no value but robbing you of time and focus….
#0564 Get It Done Now
How urgent is it really. Leaving it to the last minute will always increase the stress and urgency of any task. Chasing the ball is exhausting, yet anticipating where it will be makes it look…
#0563 Months Wasted
It happens year after year. The holiday season creeps up on us like it is a big surprise. Either desperately attempting to finish things off or delaying them until the new year. Reappearing in January…
#0560 Again and Again
If you study anyone successful in their field of expertise they have these in common. Practice and determination. They will have failed more times than they can count, but they always get up and go…
#0558 Pep Talk
You just undid all the good work. Sure, you can narrow in on the one thing that didn’t go to plan. Beat yourself up over what you did or did not do. Ignoring the multitude…
#0557 Focal Points
If I asked “What are you working on?” What would you say? I found myself in the same position recently and it made me stop and think deeply not about what am I doing day…
#0553 Shedding The Old
If only I knew that before. Throughout life there are insights you discover along the way that can change you. Things that you wish you had of known sooner. Sometimes altering your trajectory forever. It…
#0552 Master Your Time
Why put yourself under that kind of stress? I get that people need deadlines to get things done, but why leave it till the last minute. For me, get 80% done in the first third…
#0551 Give It More Time
I have tried that, it did not work. A statement I loath. You only need to search top percentage of just about anything and you will discover a long tail of people who give up…
#0548 Start With You
Who are you doing this for? Classic response is, for my family, for my customers yada yada. That is honourable and everything but it does not translate unless you do it for yourself first. Good…
#0547 Broken Record
They do not know what you know, so you have to tell them. At the risk of repeating myself, you have to get used to starting from the beginning. Every time you interact with someone…
#0546 Dealing With Messy

#0543 Embrace The New
I feel the emotion of my daughter finishing high school and the unknown ahead. When your entire living memory are the boundaries, people and experiences of a school, not having to turn up Monday is…
#0541 Half Arsed
Starting is hard but finishing seems to be harder. Unfinished projects litter the business landscape frustrating those in the middle and disappointing those who have invested time and money. Should you be really starting the…
#0539 You Choose
Sometimes I do not want to, but I do it anyway. There are times I really want to, but I do not. When I have to, I will. In every instance, I have a choice,…
#0537 What Do You Do
If you struggle to articulate what you do concisely, you are spread too thin. Too many products, channels, platforms, audiences, desires. When you start, start wide, find your groove quickly, then go deep. Better to…
#0535 Take Pride
There is a place for minimum viable product. Do the least amount reasonable to get to market quickly and see what works and is wanted. Taking that into every aspect of delivery however is littered…
#0532 Reach Out Early
There is a dangerous stage in business referred to as the “Trough of Disillusionment”. It is the period of time where you realise business is not all rainbows and lollypops but you are not sure…
#0529 Lower Priorities
