#0716 Your Future
Looking back I’ve had a few of these. A seemingly innocent moment where the trajectory of your life changes. Decisions that shift your story. These do not have to be by chance, you have the…
#0715 Comfort Zone
Stability is praised in professional life. It signals maturity. Reliability. Sound judgment. And yet, it is often the moment growth quietly stalls. The more comfortable you become, the less likely you are to step outside…
#0708 Choose Wisely
I wish I could do it all, but I can’t. Throughout life we are faced with choices of what to do and when. As time goes on you realise it’s not about doing it all,…
#0698 You Not Them
Mind your own damn business. Funnel that energy into self, family, friends and your livelihood. The world would be a different place.
#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….
#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,…
#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…
#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…
#0677 Vanity Metrics
Forget every metric you thought was important. Likes, opens, clicks are vanity metrics that mostly don’t mean anything or lead anywhere. Someone doesn’t need to like your post to actually like it. They don’t need…
#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…
#0672 Future Chapters
Imagine your life is a collection of stories you are using to write a book. Many of the best tales are rooted in misadventure, failures and hard knocks. Some chapters you would probably skip and…
#0671 Seek Cheerleaders
If you keep seeking validation you will never push the boundaries of what is possible. There are many examples of innovators who were thought to be crazy until they had their breakthrough. Growth comes from…
#0670 Just Do
I’m not sure how to put this. Get out of your own fricken way. You are the blocker, you flim-flam, you cufuddle, you discombobulate, you. Take stock, make a decision, act, stick to it, review….
#0669 Embrace Challenges
Challenges are invigorating. Challenges lead to growth, shifts, progress, learning, experience. Challenges are not the enemy, your mindset toward them may be. Embrace them as they appear as one thing is for certain, there will…
#0667 Experience Counts
