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.

  • Routine can be a double-edged sword

    On the one hand, it creates rhythm… steadiness… trust with yourself. It’s how things get done when motivation dwindles. It’s how we move forward without renegotiating every decision from scratch. Routine builds muscle memory for progress. But when routine goes unquestioned… What once supported momentum can quietly become a blindfold. You keep doing the thing…

  • When Completion is Necessary Before any Plan

    I came across this story in The Washington Post and wanted to share it immediately, not because it’s inspirational in the tidy, motivational sense, but because it quietly exposes how much of what we think are “rules” are really just expectations we’ve been trained to accept. We’ve been taught to expect outcomes to follow a…

  • Start and never stop. Momentum moves mountains

    I remember hearing a motivational talk referencing a moving train with the question: Have you ever tried to stop a moving train? If you visualize it, with all the power of a train, it would be impossible to stop this massive piece of machinery. But similarly, a train starting off builds momentum first before getting…

  • The Key to Success is to Get Moving and KEEP MOVING!

    If ever I meet Jocelyn K. Glei, writer and founding editor of 99U, I will give her a huge hug and thank her for explaining one of my life’s ongoing experiences in 5 sentences. In her article called “The Art of Momentum: Why Your Ideas Need Speed” she shares: The minute that we lose momentum,…

  • When Momentum Wanes…

    Enthusiasm will take you only so far… Will power evaporates quickly… Enter Physics 101: Newton’s First Law of Motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it, and a body in motion at a constant velocity will remain in motion in a straight line unless acted…

  • The P word that’s packed with power!

    ERSISTENCE! Without it – not much happens. Chances are, the first time you attempt something, you’re not going to be successful. Without persistence you’ll just throw in the towel, roll over and expire. Persistence is the ‘fall down seven times, get up eight’ principle. It’s dipping down inside of you for that energy to do…

  • Are you tired of starting from Zero every month?

    Why does building business momentum seem so elusive? Do you feel at times as if you are wading through a vat of molasses or as in young people speak – “yuh sticking?” Many business owners could well attest to peaks and troughs in their business but I am describing not even feast or famine but…

  • Change is difficult – step or otherwise

    There’s something to be said about persistence. There’s something to be said about having a good support system in place particularly when you embark on an unfamiliar journey. Kinda reminds me of the song “How Do You Keep The Music Playing” made popular by James Ingram and Patti Austin in the ’80s. “How do you…
