One Free Radical

The only bad decision is one made without all the data present. That puts business owners in a pretty tough situation. As their organizations grow in size, they become fantastically complicated. They can become such a dense cluster of processes and systems that they feel opaque. So what happens when they plan? They can’t achieve […]

The Polymath

Every system in a business is a pipe. You’ve got your sales pipe, your marketing pipe, your operations pipe, and so on. Each pipe is responsible for taking the effort of the people who do the work in that system and turning it into a result (the result depends on the pipe, naturally). Let’s say […]

The Theory of Constraints

Let’s say you’ve got some task, goal, or result that you want in your life. Let’s also say that this is a result that you want to occur with some regularity. For example, let’s take this content right here. It’s part of my grand social media strategy … and it’s necessary for anyone who wants […]

Your Feelings Mean Nothing

There’s a Bruce Lee quote floating around the internet right now that talks about this concept. Your feelings are a distraction from the mission – your mission – whatever you want to call it.

Intentions

The masses wait to see it before they believe it, while the masters see it before they believe it. If there’s something you want out of your life, you need to see it first. You need to picture it in your mind’s eye and have it be a clear, tangible thing. If you can’t do […]

Capturing Attention

Then, if you’re lucky, they realize they have a need you can help them with and they become in-consideration of you. An even smaller number of those in-consideration of you […]

You are not Obvious

“I’m actually a genius!” This is how you’re going to feel once you give yourself permission to produce content and put yourself on camera. Producing content marketing is going to cause you to learn about yourself in ways you never imagined. You’ll manifest these amazing moments where someone notices something that you thought was obvious […]
