Punctuated Progress

Punctuated Progress

I really believe in the power of incremental progress. It’s one of my company values. It’s the name of my weekly show (Wednesdays at 11:45 am Mountain Time on Facebook). It’s how we find evidence that we’re fulfilling our dreams. However, there are times a whole bunch of incremental progress in different areas will come […]

Plan Your Work; Work Your Plan

Plan Your Work; Work Your Plan

The key to scaling a successful business is to follow the disciplines, habits, and routines which differentiate the truly successful companies from the mediocre ones. The truth is that anything planned beyond 90 days is a WILD, AUDACIOUS, GUESS. But in order to be productive today, you need to have a planned trajectory and focus […]

The Purpose of Life

The Purpose of Life

People make a pretty big deal of out the whole “meaning of life” thing. To me it’s abundantly obvious. The purpose of life is to grow. The purpose of life is to start out unrefined and move as much as we can towards refinement. How do you grow? That’s easy, too. By taking on and […]

Short Term Pain Mitigation

Short Term Pain Mitigation

Keep your hands off that marshmallow. Here’s a quick explanation if you don’t know what I’m talking about: in the 60s there was an experiment done at Stanford involving delayed gratification. A group of children were each given marshmallows and told that, if they resisted the temptation to eat them immediately, they’d get another. Later […]

Rephecy – A Word Dr. John Demartini Made Up

Rephecy – A Word Dr. John Demartini Made Up

A prophet is someone who can predict the future. A rephet is someone who learns from their past. You’re a rephet by default – it doesn’t take a genius to do better next time. We all have that permission slip. It doesn’t make any of us special. A master believes it before he sees it. […]

The Art of Being Dissatisfied

The Art of Being Dissatisfied

I really, really don’t want to wait. But I will, because waiting is the right thing to do. The funny thing is that there are a lot of business owners out there rushing and hustling and in a persistent state of urgency…but if they slowed down for a moment, they’d got more work done. How […]
