Life is Like Buying Shoes

ShareA Story About Stories In my presentations, I often choose to teach principles and explain transformational concepts using stories – as opposed to wheeling out some boring old facts, figures and data. While people tend to forget bland information and theories (and therefore fail to take action or gain any benefit), they are far less [...]

Being Busy Vs. Being Productive

ShareWheel Spinning Do you ever feel like you’re busily achieving not much at all? Like your results are not really a reflection of your effort? Like there’s some kind of imbalance?

Start with Honesty and Humility

ShareWhat I Don’t Know To be honest, I don’t know much. About most things. I know a lot about a few things and very little about the rest. Sure, I’m good at sounding clever (sometimes) and I can write okay, but when you dig a little you’ll discover that, what I’m really good at, is [...]

Are You a Worrier or Warrior?

ShareIt’s amazing how much difference two letters can make… Worriers: Find things to stress about Are generally reactive (not proactive) Over-think the shit out of everything Are people-pleasers (and not in a good way) Avoid the things they should address Allow fear to run their lives Don’t stand up for themselves Hope things will (magically) [...]

Be Inspired by Dewey Bozella

ShareAs you know, I don’t post many videos here at me-dot-com. The following clip is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time, so I’m making an exception. In internet terms, it’s epic (a whopping eleven and a half minutes) but it’s well worth the time investment (IMHO). It’s about an amazing man [...]
