Ask yourself the following question: Will they be at your Funeral? If not – then you shouldn’t give a crap what they think. You see we all go around trying to get the blessing and acknowledgment of people and customers that in the end probably don’t care about you and most definitely won’t be at … Read moreWho cares what they think!
We have two main emotional drivers Fear and Desire. Unfortunately we spend more time being fearful! You see the subconscious mind is our protector (fight or flight response) but it is also debilitating. Fear not only stops us from success but it makes us sick too. If we spend too much time living fearful we … Read moreWe have a desire for fear!
It’s a human condition and happens to all of us. There is nothing wrong with feeling this way only if we don’t know how to deal with it will it affect us. So Switch off. This means disconnect from the world. Turn off emails. Social etc. Pause. Breathe. It’s seems like a silly comment but … Read moreFeeling overwhelmed? It’s normal
First off I don’t hunt this is a metaphorical post. A Lion doesn’t get enough calories from a mouse so he doesn’t hunt them!

How many times did Benjamin Franklin have … Read moreDid you fail or quit?
We should only be good at one or a couple of things. Stop watching TV, reading Facebook, posting your selfie on Instagram or looking at the latest headlines. Who is the MVP in the league team, who cares. The point is that in order to be the best at whatever you want to be the … Read moreWhy I suck at fixing things!
It takes mastering the little things to go from being great to awesome. Hard work is a given and we have accepted that there is no trophy for participating. You win or you lose. Don’t justify a loss by stating that you only lost by 1 point. You lost! In order to grow you need … Read moreYou need to be uncomfortable to grow!
Now that we have turned our clocks forward (Daylight saving in the Southern Hemisphere) It made me think as we effectively lost an hour.
