Being sensible is rarely criticised in business. It signals maturity. Stability. Good judgement. Makes you feel trustworthy. But sensible decisions compound into predictable lives. Predictable lives rarely produce remarkable outcomes. Most people don’t consciously stop…
What are you protecting. Every time you step into the ring your guard goes up. It could be your reputation, your identity, the perception of what others think of you. So we slip into comfort…
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…
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…
Resistance is feedback. Not now. Too busy. Other priorities. No budget. Fallbacks for; I’m not sure what to do with what I know about what you do, so it’s easier to push it out. What…
Stop here or keep moving. A choice you will make hundreds if not thousands of times every. single. day. With the volume turned up to eleven, we are inundated with choices, most of which you…
We’d never have rivers if water gave up when an obstacle felt too big. The light bulb, the plane and countless other innovations, all exist because they found a way. Nothing amazing happens in a…
If there was no 9-5 and you could work whenever you wanted, would more or less work get done? My guess is, for the vast majority it would be less. Discipline is more often mandated…
Your intention is being hijacked by your attention. What you allow to fill your day may be robbing you of your dream outcomes. You may be busy, but what exactly is taking up your time….
If you have too many nothing will get finished. Big goals break into projects, which in turn break into many tasks. The more big goals you have, the more the tasks compound into never ending…
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,…
It takes years to become an overnight success. Grinding, experimenting, failing, hitting lows, picking yourself up, going again. Not much in this world comes without effort. How much patience, resilience, self awareness and self forgiveness…
Being invisible in the market even though you are actively promoting isn’t about being absent, it’s about misinterpretation. People see you, but don’t really know what to do with you. The answer isn’t more posting,…
Demand is not about your revenue goals for this month, that’s a consequence. Demand is the alignment of what your clients need, when they need it, based off what you can do for them at…
You are too shallow. Ticking the box is great, but stopping there just makes you busy. Getting the task done feels like an achievement but to go from good to great you must go deeper….
The need for more leads is a symptom, not the root cause. Lack of leads starts with lack of clarity. Who are you serving, what problem are you solving, are they actively seeking the resolution…
Silence is often feedback, not always rejection. When a client doesn’t get back to you, move forward, go all in, does not mean they don’t need what you have to offer, it means you weren’t…
They really do go faster. As each year ticks over it is easy to look back with achievement, regret, elation, sadness, fear or optimism, maybe a combination. Whichever emotion dominates use it as fuel to…
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…
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….
