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 […]

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. […]

Twenty Years of Work

Twenty Years of Work

I’ve had a lot of experience with being unhappy with the status quo. If you’re any kind of visionary, you’ll know what I mean. Where others can get complacent, we’re always trying to improve. Where others will say it’s “good enough,” we’re trying to perfect it. It’s that kind of attitude that gives us our […]

Actions Aren’t the Point

Actions Aren’t the Point

Working IN a system is very different than working ON a system. Business owners have to do both of these things simultaneously. But if they want to grow and scale, they need to spend more time doing the latter instead of the former. Think about it: working IN a system keeps it running. It produces […]

Kill the Constraints

What’s stopping you from having what you say you want to have? Here’s the thing about the universe: it doesn’t reward hard work for its own sake. If you’ve been putting massive effort into something and you haven’t achieved it yet, chances are pretty good that something other than work is preventing you from having […]

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 […]

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 […]

Stratification

Stratification

Most visionaries and business owners that I know are chomping at the bit to try and improve their businesses. That’s smart…dissatisfaction drives innovation. However, it can be pretty hard to find the right place to start. How do you decide which of the hundreds of thousands of systems in your business to improve? The answer […]

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.
