I suck at this Note: the title of this dose is not a statement of identity – “I suck”, it is a statement about performance or skill level – “I suck at this”. There are a lot of things that people suck at – communicating, relationship, follow up, managing money, creating money, and many more. […]

Minnows, Whales, and Books
October 25, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Minnows, Whales, and Books When we hang around minnows we stay small. When we hang around whales we grow. A great success strategy is to be around and be influenced by world class performers – people who see bigger possibility, more opportunity, more abundance, more solutions, know things we don’t, have greater kindness, and the […]
Feeding the wrong wolf

Feeding the wrong wolf I talked to several people today who were feeding the wrong wolf. They were busily and repeatedly reinforcing stories of frustration, unworthiness, tiredness, and limitation.

Value of one push up

Value of one push up One push up. Does it really matter? By itself, one pushup is insignificant. It isn’t going to change our bodies. But we cannot have a lot of pushups without a bunch of individual insignificant pushups. So, maybe one pushup isn’t so insignificant after all. Each one matters. Each one we […]
Forgiving Ourselves

Forgiving Ourselves Nobody wakes up in the morning and sets out to sabotage themselves, make mistakes, or make poor decisions. But all those things are part of being human. They happen whether we like it or not. So making peace with this is very important. Even more important is having the grace to forgive ourselves. […]
