  • How do you embrace everything that happens in your life… as if you chose it?

    Amor fati is a Latin phrase translating to “love of fate” or “love of one’s fate,” representing a mindset that embraces everything in life—good or bad—as necessary, valuable, and designed to be utilized for growth. Rooted in Stoicism and famously adopted by Nietzsche, it is an active acceptance that transforms obstacles into opportunities, allowing individuals to…

  • It Isn’t About Being Perfect -It’s About Being Perfectly You

    For most of my life, I thought excellence meant perfection. If I could just get it right – the timing, the copy, the offer, the tone, the framework, the output, the guarantee – then things would fall into place. Clients would say yes. Partners would stay. The world would clap and I’d finally be seen…

  • Keep Your Job or Tell the Truth?

    You have to understand: most people were scared around Bezos because they were waaaay too worried about trying to keep their jobs. People in high-level positions sometimes have a little too much personal self-esteem invested in their success. Can you imagine how annoying it must be for him to be around timid people all day…
