You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.

pause with structure before you act.

  • Principles of the Unreasonable: 7 Traits of Top Innovators

    Innovation has always had a public relations problem. After something works, we romanticize it. We tell neat stories about visionary founders and breakthrough moments and pretend the path was logical all along. Yet while those same innovators were in the thick of trying to build something new, the world rarely called them brilliant. More often…

  • Do you believe…

    Regardless of the circumstance, belief ALWAYS has to come first. If you don’t truly believe it’s possible for you, then you won’t invest your time and energy into making it happen. Half of the work to be done is having faith in yourself to show up and do what’s necessary. It is about remaining open…

  • It’s time to slay the dragon

    Perhaps dragon is not the best word because the way this dragon appears isn’t scary at all. The dragon I’m referring to is what Steven Pressfield talks a lot about except he refers to it as resistance. Resistance  illustrates the universal force that he claims acts against human creativity. Steven tells us that resistance will sabotage…

  • Are you failing in business or just playing it safe?

    Yesterday I talked a bit about why businesses fail but the failure I’m addressing today is more about outlook, perspective or interpretation. What is failure really? That you tried something and it didn’t work? In our pursuit of success we catastrophize failure every step of the way yet each labeled failure is a stepping stone…

    …even if what we’re doing is counterproductive or hurting us. I remember hearing a story (back in my AMWAY days) where Ian old timer pulled into a service station to get some directions. As the attendant pulled out his map (yes this was told back in the day before apps were even invented lol or for…

  • Throwing Now After Maybe

    How long do you spend thinking through a situation BEFORE you actually take action? Are you thinking about starting a business? Are you thinking about switching careers? Do you want to leave your job? Is there something that you want to do, and constantly talk about doing but never actually do anything to bring this…

    Early on in my career, I encountered many people who told me that I had a lot of potential. When I first heard this, I puffed my chest out and felt pretty good about myself. But then, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted in my life and I started to wonder about all this…

  • Beware of ‘Word’ Narcotics

    For many years I have been trying to find reasons why someone with obvious potential for greatness wastes their life and someone who, by society’s standards, was least likely to succeed, creates monumental success for themselves. Having said that, potential is a word that I disliked. Only because I’d heard it so much in my…
