The Small Goal That Makes a Big Win
Yesterday, on the Pathways to Paydays Summit, one of the people who accepted hotseat coaching was at step 0 of her business. She has no sales, no clear offer, no real business. I gave her a piece of advice which I believe will also be powerful for hundreds of you in my community because few […]
Dangerous Sales Messages and Cereal Commercials
I would rather my daughter watch violent movies than the children’s cereal commercials I grew up with. At least the violent movies are honest about their message. Do you remember the classic 1980s and 1990s cereal commercials? Cute little cartoon characters with funny little taglines. “Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids.”“They’re always after me Lucky […]
What Would You Choose? Is A Million Right?
Recently, I saw this image on Facebook… Being a know-it-all, I assumed I know the “right” answer. I shared my thoughts, and invited the thoughts of others, and discovered that I did find the right answer for me, but that it’s dependent on where one is in life. My initial thought was that the $1,000,000 […]
When Will Covid End?
Recently, I wrote about what is coming with Covid and what businesses need to do to adapt. We know how to end Covid. Masks, contact tracing, targeted lockdowns, and curtailing large gatherings prevent spread. Vaccines shut down whole variants. Like seatbelts and vitamins, all these tools only work if we use them. People will only […]
Covid Part II — What you need to know to prepare your business
Covid is not only not over but what is coming in the next 18 months will be worse than the previous 18 months. The difference is that the warning signs are here and businesses have time to prepare, if they know what to prepare for.
Why Do We Hate Billionaires?
It is super hip and woke to crap on billionaires these days. The narrative is that people like Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk are sitting on hoards of wealth accumulated by seizing the labor of the workers. A billionaire could literally dedicate their entire fortune to eradicating disease in the world and they’d probably still have […]
Man Who Writes for Living Calls Others Indolent
We should always be suspicious when someone who writes, thinks, and speaks for a living opines on how lazy people are. The Day, in their July 3rd edition, published a piece by professional writer and pundit Cal Thomas entitled “Getting Paid Not to Work Is Addictive.“ In it, he laments that human nature leads people […]
Better an Awesome You than a Mediocre Knockoff
I often see discussions on business forums on personal appearance and professional appearance. People will talk about having to dye their hair back to normal colors or hide the more colorful parts of their personality from their social media. The solution is not to remove your unique elements. Rather it is to clearly lean in […]
Post-Pivot Pivot
2020 was the year of the pivot. The world that we had all known had ended. It was time to adapt to a new world. We launched new businesses. Created new projects. Developed new products. And now… The world that we pivoted in has ended, and we are, umm, here, I guess.
We Are All Damaged
As I often do, I made a social media post which was intended to remind people of their power to control their responses to their world. In this case, the post was “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” The intent of the sentiment is that we cannot prevent painful things from happening to us, but […]
