#0700 Mile Markers
Are we there yet. Cry’s heard frequently on every family road trip since travel was a thing. From and early age we are conditioned to get to the destination so the fun can begin. Yet…
#0699 One More
Just do one more. If you normally stop at ten, do eleven. Doesn’t sound like much but it’s ten percent more. Stretching just a little bit adds up and can turn into hundreds with consistency….
#0697 Select With Purpose
Words have power, they also have consequence. Each carry meaning, context is important, interpretation is everything. No matter what you meant, how it’s received is what really counts. Choose wisely.
#0696 The Last Mile Counts
Time appears to slow down the closer you get to a goal. Getting to eighty percent seems to happen overnight but the last twenty takes forever and is the period when we are at risk…
#0695 Random Conversations
How did I end up here. You’re free styling in a conversation with a friend about housing prices and end up talking about the extinction of the Dodo. Without direction or purpose the number of…
#0694 Today’s Task
A small amount every day adds up. Chipping away at smaller doable tasks today compounds into achieving bigger goals in the future. Consistency is the key to making things happen in a timeframe that feels…
#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

#0691 Right or Biased

#0690 Slow Gratification

#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…
#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
