Who says?

Who says you can’t do that? It’s becoming clear to me that one of the greatest secrets to a successful business, and success in every other aspect of life for that matter, is doing things that don’t just go against the grain, but doing things that totally disrupt the status-quo. The biggest successes, the ones [...]

Today, my wife and I had an ultrasound. And for the first time we were able to see a very clear picture of the cute little baby hanging out inside my wife. It gave me the day to reflect on this post. You’ve all heard the saying; the glass is half-empty or the glass is half-full. [...]

When we find ourselves in an emergency situation, the first instinct will almost always be self-preservation. My wife likes to tell the story while we were walking on a trail in Newfoundland, and literally bumped into a massive moose, it was I who turned around and bolted in the opposite direction, leaving her to snap [...]

There seems to be a point when we believe our need for coaching, mentoring, and the acquisition of new knowledge are no longer needed in our lives. We’re adults now. We know everything we need to know. Why would I need any help? I’ve put in my time. Coaching? Why would I need a coach? [...]

Stay up tonight, flick on the TV, and check out all the amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities on the infomercials. I’m being sarcastic. Infomercials about money-making opportunities, to me, represent a speeding one-way bullet train. The train has limited seating. It’s only staying at the station for a short time. The price keeps going up the longer you [...]
