#0610 Too Many Options
There are far too many options available, so why you. What have you communicated. What about your actions, what do they convey. Do they trust you or are you at arms length. Do they have…
#0609 The Answer
Often we know the answer yet we continue to avoid the work to get it done. Sometimes it is the effort, sometimes the discomfort. If only there was someone incharge of the choices we make.
#0608 Acceptance
If you are stuck, more of the same rarely works. Automating a flawed system does not make it better. Smiling through your teeth will not make the pain go away. Acceptance, accountability and change…you got…
#0607 Which Are You
Being human is hard as it turns out. We put on our professional face and become the version expected of us. Polite, professional, forthright as required. When asked to be yourself we struggle to let…
#0606 Keeping Pace
Cut them some slack as it is probably you sprinting ahead. Just because you are super excited about what your business can do for them, does not mean your prospects will be. You are further…
#0605 Stuck In The Mud
Have you ever avoided something for a long time then tried it and surprised yourself. The story we build in our heads can focus on worst case scenario when the reality is often not even…
#0604 Groundwork
I was ignoring the fundamental issue. For years I have spent countless hours and good money just trying to keep my back lawn alive. No matter what I have tried, I have failed. Why, not…
#0603 Snap Out Of It
I heard a stat that posited by age thirty five, 95% of our day is unconscious routine. If this is true, only 5% therefore is conscious thought, a scary thought in itself. Are we so…
#0601 Compare and Contrast
No good comparing their after to your before or emulating what they do now rather than what they did. You cannot run their race and they cannot run yours. Their insta profile is not the…
#0600 Well Done
No matter how small, celebrate each milestone. You deserve that pat on the back no matter the size of the achievement. An acknowledgment of the effort to get to this point. Every milestone is a…
#0598 Out of Your Control
What if you smiled at the things out of your control no matter what. The weather, the traffic, global events, the economy, interest rates. We’d probably all be happy ninety percent of the time.
#0597 The Ground Work
Like it or not, to run a successful business you must be able to sell (consistently) – so sell more. To sell consistently you must have a large sphere of influence to find the ready…
#0596 Nailed It
In a world where there’s an app for that, should you do it yourself. A dilemma I find myself in often. If it is easy, quick and probably cheap to do it yourself, should you….
#0595 Compounding
Stand alone, 10 minutes of anything does not amount to much. Ten minutes a day for a year is the equivalent of a week and a half of work. There are infinite ways to spend…
#0594 Why Not
Why do you do what you do? Can you answer this seemingly innocuous question. How does it make you feel. Does it drive you to do better. What impact are you making. What does it…
#0593 Your Best Year
Have you ever pulled apart a smartphone, precision engineering at its finest. Yet they improve on it year on year. Apple could have stopped when they hit iPhone 4 as it was far ahead of…
#0592 Two Sides
Should you be consuming or creating right now. Waiting for calls or making them. Reading a book or writing one. Spending money or making money. Procrastinating or doing. Complaining about something you lack or being…
#0591 Perfectionism
Does it need to be perfect or is it more important to get it out there. We stress about the small stuff most will not notice. And if they do, in most cases they will…
#0590 Do Not Stop
If you have ever been for a run, particularly when starting out there will be times you jog and times you walk. Ideally though, you do not stop. As you get fitter the jogs become…
