In Favour of Giving Things Up (In Business)
Renunciation in personal life involves mentally letting go of unhealthy habits, attachments, and excessive desires to foster inner peace and spiritual growth. Practices include: Renunciation in business however, isn’t addressed quite as often. I’m not talking about sacrifice… or deprivation…or moral purity. I am talking about renunciation as the deliberate act of letting something go so that…

The Hidden Costs of “I’ll do it” Leadership
Every time a leader says “I’ll just do it,” a little bit of clarity, trust, and team momentum quietly slips away. The Upper Limit Problem, a concept introduced by Gay Hendricks, refers to a subconscious self-sabotaging behavior that occurs when individuals approach a level of success, happiness, or abundance that exceeds their comfort zone. This often leads…

Don’t compromise
In order to succeed in the world according to you and only you alone, you must let go, in order to let in. Start with being fake. Eliminate it altogether. Stop hiding. Allow yourself to be fully seen. Quit trying to outdistance fear. Fear is here for the long haul – don’t let it stop…

Can you rely on the business you’ve built?
You’ve probably seen that old team-building exercise — where one person stands with their back to the team. They are told to fall backwards and trust that their team will catch them. It’s an exercise in trust. Can you do that with your business? Can you lean back, take your foot off the gas for…

I’m not suggesting painstakingly rehashing events. What I am suggesting is that we let our…

Are You Still On That Sh*t?
I’m following 50 Cent’s Strength Coach Jay Cardiello on Instagram. He has some really interesting quotes that he shares…some funny….some thought-provoking. Today he posted: When you focus on you, you grow. When you focus on shit, shit grows. Read that again. I know I am guilty of sometimes not just focusing but obsessing about shit…you…

The Labyrinth Called Life
I wrote this piece in my journal on February 1st 2016, and decided to share. I started that day feeling “bummy” but once I worked my way through my feelings, I realized the importance of writing stuff down and getting it out of your system. It unclogs your creative arteries allowing helpful thoughts to flow freely again.…

Learning to Surf Life
I’m afraid of turbulence in water. I grew up with my grandmother saying “the sea has no back door.” I believed her. Curiously I don’t like turbulence – PERIOD. Lately in life it seems that I am encountering turbulence but it’s unfamiliar. I have grown comfortable with the turbulence of not having regular work, not…

Accept Yourself Today
How does this thought grab you? Do you feel that you need to change a few things first BEFORE you can accept yourself, AS IS, today? The thought makes me squirm. So much to IMPROVE. So much I wish I didn’t have to deal with. We are our own worst critics aren’t we? That’s why…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
High-stakes decisions deserve disciplined thinking
You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.
