Teaching from an old wound will never allow you a new adventure

When I was a child, I use to advertise my wounds, like a badge of honour. I would show my friends a bruise or a scrape and if I had a cut, I would peel back the plaster so they could see it. Sometimes I would touch it, and I’d be fine, but once someoneContinue reading “Teaching from an old wound will never allow you a new adventure”

do you have all the knowledge you need to build a thriving business?

If you answered “yes” then you are getting the support you need in those places outside your ambit. If you answered “no” that’s a great start because you realize it takes a village LOL. If you answered “yes” but doing everything yourself, I think that you need to re-examine your answer. To build anything wellContinue reading “do you have all the knowledge you need to build a thriving business?”

you must have a sense of urgency to make the most of this limited time

I remember being 14 years old and thinking about how much time I had…to do what with – I wasn’t sure – but time was on my side. Today is different of course. There is more runway behind me than in front of me and things that were terribly important in my rear view, aren’tContinue reading “you must have a sense of urgency to make the most of this limited time”

If you don’t master this one skill…you’re toast!

I am currently reading and watching several films about Leonardo Da Vinci. In his book – How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci, Michael J. Gelb says “he serves as a global archetype for human potential, giving us intimations of what we ourselves may be capable of doing. To some degree, we all have someContinue reading “If you don’t master this one skill…you’re toast!”

Are you after a series of practical results or a list of unrealized dreams?

Setting goals generates excitement. But goals can also generate a lot of anxiety. Although most goal setting programs teach that you should put an end date on your goal – that is when you think you will achieve that goal – we really have no control of this outcome. The date is there to motivateContinue reading “Are you after a series of practical results or a list of unrealized dreams?”

Do your skills mesh with your unique spirit and purpose?

A couple weeks ago I was chatting with a client, and we were discussing the effects of the COVID lockdown. Apart from social separation, the isolation forced many of us to face up to ourselves. We could no longer drown ourselves in “busy” work or distract ourselves by going out socially. But did we reallyContinue reading “Do your skills mesh with your unique spirit and purpose?”

the power and profitability of your business lies in asserting your uniqueness

Respect your own opinions more and those of others less, especially when it comes to your areas of expertise, to the field you have immersed yourself in.

the effort from good to great gets easier when you’re aligned

What counts can often not be counted, and what is counted often doesn’t count. How do you measure progress, in your life, in your business? What are you counting? I started to think more deeply about this when I considered how much energy it takes to birth our dreams. After reading Maria Nemeth’s book, MasteringContinue reading “the effort from good to great gets easier when you’re aligned”

does this behavior help me become the type of person I wish to be?

“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”  – Tony Robbins Ask better questions, get better answers. How we behave counts. It doesn’t matter our intentions. Our actions move the needle. Wallace Wattles tells us in the Science of Being Rich: You can neverContinue reading “does this behavior help me become the type of person I wish to be?”

do you agree that frustration is a sign you haven’t given up?

You would not be frustrated if whatever you’re doing didn’t matter to you. You are frustrated because some thing is not working in a way that you imagined it to work. Often we remain so close to an issue that we are unable to see the forest from the trees. We are so wedded toContinue reading “do you agree that frustration is a sign you haven’t given up?”
