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. Proposed Mechanism: The model suggests that the subconscious brain controls how many muscle fibers are recruited during exercise. […]

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, […]

I used to publish a list of my top books, but then decided to keep that list confidential for my paying clients only. As a speed reader, I consume over 100 books in a year and thought I could share ten of the best books I’ve read in the past 12 months with you. Here […]

Is your business paying you more than just a wage?

Does running your own business payoff? The answer is yes, and no. In a recent BRW Magazine article, University Of Western Sydney researchers revealed that even though small business owners still don’t earn as much as the typical wage earner, they’re becoming richer and smarter with their money as they tend to accumulate more assets. […]

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 […]

Today’s business person

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 […]

Business and intuition

We have all had them – premonitions, gut feelings, the sense that something will happen before it does, knowing something we shouldn’t well before it seems logical or sensing something happening to someone close to you that is physically far from us… Gut feelings… a sixth sense… by whatever name, intuitions can be informative. Many […]

20/20 Foresight

One of the foundational concepts of the Platinum Program we run is to develop what I call 20/20 Foresight, the ability to predict and/or manifest a beneficial future – regardless of the forces that might be at play. A recent article in BRW Magazine highlighting why baby boomer business owners may retire with nothing makes […]

Great advice = awesome results

I recently read a few blog posts about successful entrepreneurs and the one piece of advice they got from their business coach or mentor that made a difference. One of the best ones was “You can’t sit on two toilets at the same time.” I thought that was brilliant for those entrepreneurs who keep trying […]
