Time To Bake
Some things sometimes just take longer to bake. For me, it’s writing, ideas, vision and direction. I’ll start often with my journal. Then Mindmap. I’ll bounce off certain people. Some of the best ways I’ve gotten to fully baked is by putting a deadline on the calendar and presenting the idea of others. Deadlines help.
What Would Make Today a Win?
Been reading The Gap and The Gain by Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan. I’ve known of this concept of which the book is named of Dan’s for a while now. But I stumbled into the chapter talking about success criteria and tried working on that over the weekend. A question to help me unearth the
Not a Solopreneur
Confession: I’m not a very good solopreneur. At all. I know great solopreneurs. I’m not one. I’m a TEAMpreneur. I need collaborators, team, other people. I am so much BETTER WITH others.
Reflections on 30 Days of Clicking Publish
Tammie wrote her takeaways here and I want to share mine. So here are my takeaways and reflections on Clicking Publish for 30+ days: I LOVED IT! — And I want to grow it. It was a blast. I forgot how fun Clicking Publish was and is. It became an AMAZING keystone habit for me
On Being Seen
To be seen. To be known. To be recognized and have your presence acknowledged. To know that I am here and you mark me as “present and accounted for.” It’s a special human to human gift. The last couple years I’ve heard this concept of the “authentic self” and been exploring its truth in my
The Power of Like
The power of Like at work (and in life) is so underrated. Sure, you don’t have to love every single thing about your work, but shouldn’t you at least LIKE it? I mean, the worse case scenario is that you HATE it. You loathe going to work. You cringe at it. It is the path
The Power of Yet
So many times we get into these self-limiting, self-defeating conversations with ourselves. I didn’t get the project done. I’m not a leader. I haven’t built a million dollar company. I haven’t mastered giving and getting feedback. I’m not where I want to be. But then there is one of the most powerful words in the
Do Good. Do Well. — First Draft, Part One
I’m going to unpack the above image in a couple minutes, but first, some backstory: Over the couple of weeks I’ve been going back to the basics — my anchors — and digging deep and asking myself, what do I want, what’s my bigger life aim and purpose. It’s been tremendously energizing. Especially as I’ve found
The Best Advice I’d Give Myself
If I had a time machine and could go back to talk to Cory in 2007-2008 and give him one and only one piece of advice, I would NOT talk about how to double revenue or how he should get to automatic subscription revenue as fast as possible, or nuances of team dynamics or how
Give Some Advice — To Yourself
Been reading How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Katy Milkman and it’s really superb. One nugget of gold stood out to me this weekend. Basically she writes that giving advice to others, particularly unsolicited advice, can be defeating and deflating. Too often, we
