#0476 Giving Up
2mm was all it took. On the weekend I went to mow our lawns as I often do and for some reason the mower would not start. Only the week before I had replaced the…
#0475 Passion
Passion was on full display. For my birthday my wife surprised me with a walking foodie tour. This was not a restaurant crawl along the high street but a producers tour through an industrial area….
#0473 Growing Pains
It is easy to ignore this when you are busy growing a business but at some point it comes back to bite. When reviewing systems and processes I look for the desired outcome first, then…
#0472 Dangerous Current
Doing everything except the one thing that counts the most. Tweaking the product, fixing your website, posting on social media, doom scrolling on social media, designing a brochure. There is so much to do to…
#0468 Working Through Pain
It is both beautiful and horrific at the same time. From someone who has had the joy of three children learning to play instruments I can talk first hand as to the pain and pleasure…
#0467 Pace Yourself
“You are freaking me out!” I like to get things done fast. From idea to execution often begins on the same day. The rate of change and adaptation can be significant. As a change agent…
#0461 Switcheroo
There is plenty of both… Time and money. Whatever you have you choose to either use it or abuse it. Why do something now that can wait until tomorrow. Focus on the things that will…
#0460 Turn Off Autopilot
Autopilot is another way to describe habits. Getting up at a certain time, putting your shoes on a certain way, driving the same route to work. We form these through our lives as a way…
#0458 Controlled Chaos
Every two weeks or so one of my daughters gives her room a good clean. Puts everything in its place again and it drive me insane. Not the cleaning part, that I applaud. The 13…
#0457 Simplicity Takes Effort
The thing I love to do as part of my work more than anything else is to simplify complexity. If I can reduce the clutter for myself it allows me to better communicate it to…
#0456 Personal Brands
Well before social media there are countless examples of enduring personal brands. Napoleon, Shakespeare, Darwin, Einstein and the list goes on. Of course back then you had to have done something of historical significance which…
#0454 Surprise and Delight
If you would like to blend into the background keep doing what you are expected to do at a steady pace. Being efficient, being productive, getting shit done is the expectation, anything less is disappointing….
#0453 Take a Moment
Three sheets is all he needed. A long time ago worked with a Project Manager Joe, who blew me away with his foresight. When everyone else turned up to project meetings with thick folders jammed…
#0452 The True Cost
Thinking back to the simplicity of my parents generation. They provided a home, food and clothing, one phone, electricity and water, we watched free to air TV, radio in the car and once in a…
#0451 Always Acquiring
Whenever I venture to the local hardware store for something costing maybe ten dollars, to my wife’s disapproval I end up spending two hundred plus on a few more things I may or may not…
#0450 Resilience and Perseverance
How hard can it be? After all, millions of people every year start a business, attempt to get fit, pick up an instrument for the first time… and millions fail. Yet millions have also succeeded….
#0448 Micro Actions
“If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done” Are you one of those people? There is probably not a person on the planet who has not left a task until the very…
#0447 Baller Level 11
Not sure if it was confidence or ignorance. Driving down a narrow single lane road the traffic had slowed down to a crawl and I could see a few cars ahead a runner who looked…
#0446 The Game
Not sure I would play cards with you if that is how you play the game. Always looking for shortcuts, life hacks and cheat codes to win at life. And who exactly are you competing…
