FUCKED IF I DO, FUCKED IF I DON’T

FUCKED IF I DO, FUCKED IF I DON’T

I was a bit stressed this morning. But, rather than mope around, I used it. I’ve said this before, but if I’m upset about something, that means there’s an area of my business that I can improve. I’m not perfect, and I don’t run a perfect business, but that means there’s always things that can […]

Actually Doing the Work is Easy

Actually Doing the Work is Easy

How’s your relationship with your subconscious? Just take a moment to check in. Are you here on YouTube because you’re avoiding doing something? If you are, that’s okay. I’m not going to judge you for it. But if that last paragraph made you feel slightly guilty, here’s a tip: you’re probably hesitant to do that […]

Facebook And Phalluses

Facebook And Phalluses

Loyal viewers will know that I’ve talked about Facebook before on Daily Genius (Hell, I talked about it yesterday) and today I found myself talking a lot about it today, too. Whether it’s something as simple as pinning a post to the top of your business page, or discussing how best to issue calls to […]

Do the Right Thing

Do the Right Thing

There’s no greater foe to growth than being out of balance with certainty. If you have too little, you’ll constantly be second-guessing and doubting any plans you ever make. You’ll get flustered by failure, and constantly shuffle things around to try and appease your emotional side. But if you have too much, you’ll become stubborn […]

Account for Value

You need to know the difference between accountability and responsibility in order to successfully scale up an organization. Some people mash all these words together thinking they mean the same thing. People need clear lines to know how to do their jobs.

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 […]

I Made My Videographer Cry

I Made My Videographer Cry

I had a great discussion with Christine this morning during our project meeting on the idea of delivering feedback. Am I too blunt? Could I phrase my dissatisfaction differently? Yes. AND what I’m really concerned with is getting the to the truth of the matter as efficiently as possible. Today’s episode has a bit of […]

Skip The Plan

Skip The Plan

Maybe your track record with goal-setting isn’t the greatest. It’s hard. It’s something you have to work at every day. Even if you miss a day, just get up and try again.

Future Accounting

Future Accounting

Your goals in life won’t come true unless you’re accountable to them in advance. See … that future you say you want? You’re disowning it. It’s a trick. Just by your nature of wanting it, you’re acknowledging that you don’t have ownership of it. You haven’t found evidence of it. You don’t see where you […]
