I had the pleasure to spend a long weekend in New York City on a North American business trip a few years ago. Times Square is always a must-see experience… You just never know what you’ll see! Having fun with images like this is one of the many examples of Antimimeticisomorphism I talk about in […]

Admittedly this is an ADVANCED STRATEGY, but worth handing over to your Reticular Activation System (RAS). Try to decipher what he does… This is an example of TRAINING versus TELLING or TEACHING. The learning is in the DOING…
One of the best ways to learn to be creative is to observe creative thinking, like this brilliant design idea. This 1-minute investment triggers your Reticular Activation System (RAS) to seek out “different ideas” — effortlessly. The key is to become self-aware of the signals your RAS creates and to transform them into ‘inspirations and […]
This phenomenon has become THE classic reference of the IMPORTANCE of WHAT you measure. Understanding your DATA in business is as important as this was in World War II. Your business’ profitability and possibly even its survival depends on it. THINK about the DATA or metrics you’re tracking for your marketing, sales and ad campaigns… […]
If you want more people to believe and act on your advice or recommendations, stop relying on just one type of proof. Novices instinctively gravitate to one end of the persuasion spectrum. They either bombard prospects with statistics, charts and research, or they rely almost entirely on emotional stories and testimonials. People make decisions using […]
Management By Metrics to Reverse By Results to create Rivers Of Revenue are all essential concepts for entrepreneurs and managers who want to Exponentially grow their businesses. They are part of the Valuable Vocabulary that can transform an ordinary business into an extraordinary one — Antimimeticisomorphically. This SHORT TWEET reveals how you can easily LOOK […]
In a previous post, I resolved the Paradox of Positive versus Destructive Friction. This post is about the Cognitive Inefficiency of multitasking brilliantly animated below… … Which does not even consider the Context Switching costs!
Taking advice willy-nilly is one of those topics that totally befuddles me. First and foremost, I am not a cynic. I just have lived long enough to see patterns and predictable behaviour. “You wouldn’t ask your car mechanic to cut your hair… “ So why would you take business or professional advice from just about […]
WARNING! This is a VERY LONG blog post = a LOT OF FRICTION! Many business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, professionals and elite athletes unknowingly sabotage their own performance because they misunderstand one of the most important paradoxes in high performance: They think ALL friction is bad. They spend years trying to remove every obstacle, every discomfort, […]
I use the term Valuable Vocabulary to reinforce the need to focus on Precision Of Language for Crystal Clear Communication. This chart from a recent study is a great visual tool to represent what people MEAN when saying different words… That at first, might appear to be +/- the same thing. Not. At 8:00am sharp, […]
If you spend most of your day making decisions, solving problems, and carrying the weight of a business or team, getting “fit” can start to feel like just another item on an already overloaded list. Getting fit or losing weight might even have been one of your top New Year’s Resolutions… And yet, it’s usually […]
Most small business owners think they have an execution problem. They don’t. They have a vocabulary problem. And because they have a vocabulary problem, they have a thinking problem. I know that sounds harsh until you understand what vocabulary actually is. Vocabulary is not about posturing to sound intelligent at networking events or using corporate […]
This ad is 16 years old… I’m surprised it has never come up on my social feeds… First, enjoy it for the experience that it is… A lot of people would love to have this level of creativity and struggle to “get started” on that journey. A quick and easy way is to Mirror The […]
Exponential Mindset Thinking, including Antimimeticisomorphism will create extra-ordinary results, especially those bold and courageous enough to make it memorable!
Every industry has its own vocabulary. Precision Of Language (POL) for Crystal Clear Communication (CCC) is essential for effective leadership. This is especially important when new innovations come to the forefront. This short video is an entertaining anecdote to explain what at face value makes no sense… but has historical significance and provides you an […]
This explanation is TOTALLY BRILLIANT… I wish we had visuals like this when I was in school. We all have SPECIALIST expertise which is great, but at the same time is IMPOTENT unless it can be effectively leveraged to create value for our ‘audiences’. These can be sales prospects, students, kids, friends, family members, staff, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Let’s make one thing very clear before we even start… This is NOT: A paid review with an affiliate link. There is no link, you’ll have to go on the Apple App Store and download it from there. An “AI agent” you have to configure A swarm of bots you need to “vibe code” Another […]
