Dull Saw ~ Sharp Saw Abraham Lincoln said something along the lines of – If I had an hour to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first 30-minutes sharpening my axe. I was working on a landscaping project today, cutting flagstone with a wet saw. Over time, the saw started cutting slower and slower. […]

What Does Success Look Like? Deep down, most people think that they are not a success. But if we ask them what success looks like, they don’t know. They just know that they don’t have it right now, that where they are right now is not enough to be success. Obviously, more is needed. Since […]

Definite consequences to feeling stressed and rushed A big trap people fall into is the story that we don’t have enough time. This automatically puts us into scarcity consciousness.

If I fire a gun at a target 10 yards away and then move the barrel 1 millimeter and fire again, the bullet holes will be darn close to identical. However, those same two trajectories will produce a much bigger difference over the space of 300 yards. Over the distance of a mile, the difference […]
