How will you share your wisdom today?
An Instagram post from Chris Do sparked my interest to research Director Quentin Tarantino. Chris said: I saw a quote by @tarantinoxx that said “I’m making movies for me. Everybody else is invited.” Such a powerful concept from a truly unique voice in cinema. Then he went on to ask: Who are you making content for? In the endless…

It won’t happen overnight…
I saw this today on a friend’s wall on Facebook: It won’t happen overnight, but if you quit, it won’t happen at all UNKNOWN Sometimes it can be so damn difficult to continue especially if life seems to constantly knock you down. And by knock you down, I mean, not giving us what we want,…

In the face of endless options, is second-guessing a side effect?
Last night I watched a documentary called ‘Finding Big Country’. In the film, Vancouver-based filmmaker and Grizzlies superfan Kat Jayme makes it her mission to track down the Vancouver sports legend Bryant ‘Big Country’ Reeves, 17 years after he leaves town. Kathleen Jayme grew up idolizing and watching the Vancouver Grizzlies. Her favourite player was the…

Free must always be perceived as valuable to your customers

Relying on past approaches without examination = atrophy
It’s Carnival time here in Trinidad and Tobago and one of the first activities that signals that we are in the Carnival Season is the erection of vendor booths around part of the Queen’s Park Savannah. I started to think about the vendors, and whether they actually make money, or turn a profit, selling from…

Instead of purpose, think: life’s task
Got the idea of ‘Life’s Task’ from Robert Greene’s book Mastery. Purpose has always been difficult to understand and define, especially when it’s always paired with the verb ‘to find’. To find ones purpose suggests that it is out there somewhere. Oftentimes we link purpose with career and if we aren’t fulfilled in our careers…

Why is it so difficult to ask for help?
There are perhaps countless answers to this one question, depending on who’s answering so I’m going to share a few reasons here: The idea of doing it alone has been illustrated in songs like “My Way” made famous by Frank Sinatra and in countless stories describing the self-made man or woman, who against all odds…

Nothing else matters if you don’t have this…
When I started thinking about the characteristics of the people I wanted to serve, one of the things I noted was that most service providers struggled to earn money consistently for themselves because they: I wanted to work with service professionals who were dealing with low self-worth, undercharging and as a result not attracting great clients…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
When the stakes are high, DON’T MOVE without CLARITY
You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
