Did you hear that? You can barely hear the words. It sounds as though a baby bird was whispering in your ear.

You can’t make out the words because you hear your own voice. You’re thinking. Not listening.

It’s the sound of someone else talking. We have a communication epidemic.

Oct 3 Life’s Many Contradictions And Why We Fail Without Them

I rather DIE than eat that way they say.

Sink or swim!

To receive, you must give!

Life throws us many contradictions to test us. To test us on what’s important. On what matters.

Sep 26 How To Be Healthy In An Unhealthy Office

Your coworkers are killing themselves. Digging a grave with their mouth.

Rotting away, day by day.

Between 2015 and 2016 39.8% of US adults were considered obese.

You know, the thing that causes heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer and as the CDC put it, “…that are some of the leading causes of preventable, premature death.”

Preventable damn it.

Commuting, plopping down at a desk for 8–10 hours a day. Staring at a screen and slamming down junk food, ending up in a daily funk.

Is this “well-being?”

Sep 23 The Easiest Way To Be An Overnight Success That Creates Maximum Value

The Taj Mahal was built in less than 8-hours. Amazon became the worlds most valuable brand in less than 12.

We hear “overnight” success and think it’s bestowed on someone. Like a blessing from the success Gods. As if it appears from thin air, like a success genie in a bottle.

None of these marvels of mastery happened overnight.

Sep 15 Avoid This Costly Business Mistake To Unleash Your True Potential

I spend $1,000,000 a year with a vendor, and they flush my money down their corporate toilet.

We all get sucked into the money pit vortex. Chasing vanity, lagging metrics like it’s the cure to the business failure plague.

Sure they’re important goals, but they add no direct value to a client.

Businesses are made up of tens, hundreds, thousands of humans, working together to achieve a goal.

A mission.

Yet, most goals are a financial metric, a sale, profit, volume, whatever.

Sep 12 The One Reason You’re Afraid Of Failure And How To Punch It In The Mouth

My mom’s front tooth feel out before the wedding. She looked like a country bumpkin in a scene from the thriller, attack in the trailer park.

Or as my sister explained it, a redneck vampire.

She was horrified. Upset. She didn’t want to go. She was afraid of what others would think of her.

Aug 25 11 Simple Ways You Can Live A Great Life, Personally & Professionally

Life gets in the way they say. There’s never enough time.

And to that, I say bullshit.

I’ve been there. When I started taking over my company, I was forced to figure out what business really was.

16 hours a day clawing and scratching.

It left me no time for the things that mattered. It left me with no time for my inputs, as Nicolas Cole would say.

I gained weight. I sat at the computer, the phone, hammering out results.

At the time, it felt needed, but that’s not the way to live life.

Aug 18 How To Learn From Every Situation, Good or Bad

It’s sink or swim they say, and I tell them, they’re full of shit.

It’s the mantra for a lot of small businesses. It was the mantra for mine.

I sank. I nearly drowned. That’s the problem with this view on business and in life.

You don’t just sink. You drown. You die.
