You will not get more time, make better choices.
If you are doing this to others you are are doing it to yourself too. One of my pet hates is people not respecting time. Not bothered by a few minutes or the occasional bump,…
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…
It is excruciating and mostly a waste of time except for the part I came for. My daughters have been dancing for most of their lives and for more times than I can count I…
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…
“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…
What exactly are you busy doing? Can you reflect back on the week and detail with any confidence what you achieved? Not just emails, meetings and presentations but proper detail. Unlikely in my experience. Pretty…

People, places, sounds, experiences, colours, smells and flavours all do it. When thinking about injecting stories into business at first you may struggle to know where to start. You may be doing it from an…
