Forced Versus Unforced Errors In Business

The controversy surrounding forced and unforced errors in tennis centers on the subjective, inconsistent, and often arbitrary way these statistics are recorded, as they are determined by human scorers rather than objective data. Unforced errors are typically defined as mistakes made when a player has time to prepare and position themselves, while forced errors occur […]

Consultant, Advisor, Strategist, Mentor, Motivator: What’s The Diff?

Most business owners don’t fail because they lack effort. They fail because they hire the wrong type of help for the outcome they actually want. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: If you confuse types, you’ll get what you asked for and you might not be happy with the results. Before you spend a dollar, you need […]

Too Many Ideas Can Kill Your Company

I think we can all agree that COMING UP with ideas is fun (and easy). That’s why so many entrepreneurs indulge in the HABIT of coming up with them, but don’t “quite” get around to deploying them — profitably. Jeff Bezos explains this predicament well in this short 3-minute video. So, what should you do […]

Hiring To Add More People? Think Twice Before You Do It

Growing a team is one of the toughest aspects of running a business. Every time you ADD an additional member to your team, the complexity multiplies. This is something to keep in mind when deciding to hire “just one more person”…

Confusing Contradictions and (Internal) Conflicts

I see this pattern over and over again when I sit across from founders, CEOs, and senior leaders. They’ll say something like:“I feel pulled in opposite directions.”Or: “I don’t know why this feels so hard—I know what I should do.”Or my personal favourite: “Am I just being inconsistent?” Most of the time, they’re not inconsistent […]

Contrast And Comparison: AI Adoption

Contrast and Comparison is not about FOMO or being judgmental, envious or jealous. It’s an Exponential Mindset Strategy to determine where you are with respect to what you’re doing (or not doing). AI is more than a buzzword, it’s revolutionary. But who’s doing what? The short 2-minute video below exemplifies what the early adopters are […]

What is “the putative central governor”?

In extreme sports, the putative central governor is a proposed regulatory process within the brain that limits physical exertion and causes the sensation of fatigue to protect the body’s internal stability (homeostasis) and prevent catastrophic organ damage.

Road To Success – There are no shortcuts

I can’t vouch for the authenticity of this photo – but the message remains vividly clear – there are no shortcuts to success. Yet we see it every day – people who buy into the “get rich quick” schemes promoted by the spruikers… If it’s too good to be true… It is. That doesn’t mean […]

Market Correction Or Crash?

As you have undoubtedly seen, the financial markets are in a correction and there is considerable concern about what’s coming next. I have, over the past year, been preparing our Platinum Members to “weather the storm” and I felt I owed you at least one personal reminder (warning) about what’s coming. I have blogged about […]

Financial Market Turmoil

What would you pay NOW to have seen ‘this coming’? Hmmm…. Interesting. Even though I blogged about recent market volatility just last week and published a warning a year ago… I venture to guess most people discounted those “predictions” as fear mongering, contrarian thinking or even “conspiracy theory advocacy”… because that’s what the herd does, […]

Is your business paying you more than just a wage?

Does running your own business payoff? The answer is yes, and no.

What’s Coming

I have a special vocabulary I have created to define Exponential Mindset Thinking principles and concepts. One of the most powerful is 20/20 Foresight – the ability to create the ultimate future (destiny) you desire. Admittedly it’s easier said than done, but not because the future is hard to predict, but because of the inertia […]

Marketing Mistakes To Avoid – Hitler Billboard

What were they (not) thinking?!? Unfortunately most of the marketing mistakes people make are not this blatantly obvious. I say unfortunately because if they are not obvious, then they are not recognised for the true blunders they are. These are silent killers that erode a company’s profits often to the complete ignorance of the business […]

Everyone wants EVERYTHING for NOTHING. AND they want all their problems solved YESTERDAY. That is the problem with the world today… It’s why it’s harder to do business. It’s just too hard to be disciplined. It’s too easy to be slack and hope something changes. The world has changed, it has spoiled “us” and has […]
