#0693 Not Really Optional
If you are in business, being active online as the founder, CEO or Senior Representative used to be optional. Whilst it is still a choice, you are trailing further and further behind those who are….
#0692 By Myself
When was the last time you were alone. I mean truly by yourself, no people, no devices, nothing but you and your thoughts. Being in the moment allowing the mind to wander wherever it pleases….
#0691 Right or Biased
What is the definition of being right. Is it an opinion, factual or simply a biased point of view. Who determines the facts anyway. The lines have been blurred so best to remain open, curious,…
#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…
#0689 Your Foyer
The first thing they will do is look you up online. Your first meeting, referred to you, hell even your first date. Having a presence online is the digital foyer to you as a person,…
#0688 Influence vs Connection
You Business size is directly proportional to your sphere of influence not just your connections. Radiating just out to your first degree connections will only get you so far, and for most that is not…
#0687 Up To Here In It
Some people handle busy with avoidance, while others seem to handle more no matter how busy they are. Are they better at time management, handling stress or is it simply a mindset. Those with the…
#0686 Making Memories
The dumb things, the weird, the failures, the mistakes, the near death experiences are the ones you remember. Wondering through life without occasionally pushing the limits feels like a waste. I can’t recall any average…
#0684 Rabbit Holes
You might be shallow. A bit of this, a bit of that, new toys, shiny objects, squirrels. Spending little time, energy and reps on any one thing will never lead to expertise. Testing new ideas…
#0683 The Mundane
That didn’t work for us, might be the most common phrase I have heard in my business life. Let’s be honest, you tried it once and then moved on. But did you really try. Have…
#0682 Showmanship
I am fascinated by the magicians act. The slide of hand, the mis-direction, the wonder, the awe, the showmanship. The last three are particularly interesting, elements we could all learn from for the benefit of…
#0681 Pity Parties
The end of an era is approaching fast, are you prepared or just allowing it to happen. Everything ends, sometimes without notice, often anticipated. Invariably the end of something signifies the beginning of another. Many…
#0680 Switch Focus
The fastest growing companies have a decent offering but are better at sales. Understanding this early enough to not burn through all capital without income. Most businesses suffer the same plight, too focused on the…
#0679 Limited
For most, your sphere of influence is limited by the interpersonal relationships you have accumulated over the years. Beyond those, you are invisible. To scale you must be able to influence without a handshake, a…
#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….
#0676 The Pursuit
Do you need another course or do you need to take more decisive action. In the pursuit of a better way we can get lost in the next thing. You have a pile of inherent…
#0675 Overthinking
I rarely sit down to write with an idea in mind. Yet when I sit in my armchair, something invariably comes to me. Starting with a word or two and it flows from there. A…
#0674 Judgement or Curiosity
The person who cut you off in traffic, the waiter who got your order wrong, the call centre operator who seemed to not care. Easy to criticise a moment in their day, brand them with…
#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…
