Throughout the month, start keeping a note of things that inspire you…

These could be quotes, ideas or just random thoughts you’ve had…

“The moment that you feel that, just possibly, you’re walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself.

...

Stop spending your day consuming course after course, video after video.

Start taking action on what inspires you...

I absolutely love this short fable from Derek Sivers’ chapter in Tim Ferriss’ book, Tools of Titans…

Read on…

You know when you go to do your grocery shopping?

Do you write down things you need to get on a board at home?

Is that list at home jumbled up, so you’ve got fruit, then milk, then veg, then orange juice, then fruit, and you keep having to look up and down the list depending on what section of the supermarket you're in?

One of the thoughtful gifts I received last Christmas was a bonsai tree.

(Cos who doesn’t want one of them?!)

Anyways, I’d heard they were pretty high maintenance, so decided to dig up Google and see what I could find…

Turns out they’re not that bad at all…

Quick Tip For those of you who use the Google Calendar Chrome Extension

This extension will soon be unpublished from the Chrome Store…
Which is a bit of a bummer, as I use it all the time…

But there are alternatives…

As entrepreneurs, we are often ‘guilty’ of having new ideas.

And because new ideas are exciting ideas, we’re so tempted to drop whatever it is we’re currently working on (which was also an exciting idea at one stage btw) and start pressing forward with this new idea…

Stop Sending Fulfilment Emails From Your Funnel Builder.

Most funnel builders (naming no names) offer the functionality to send a fulfillment email to your buyers when they complete their purchase…

This isn’t great because…

You’re taking a bigger risk by NOT investing in your business.

If you’d have asked me 6 months ago if I’d ever invest upwards of $5k in a coaching program, I’d have asked what it is you were smoking, and whether it’d be possible to have some of it… 

We hear a lot about morning routines…

The things people do to get them into the swing of things each day…

The tactic to achieve peak performance…

I could not believe how impactful this was to me…

Until about 6 months ago, I’d be permanently wired…

This saved me hours since before I know this, I’d have to create about 20 test email addresses just to test one funnel, having to remember passwords, what ones I’ve used etc…

Do you get to the end of the day, look at your to-do list, and wonder what you actually did that day?

And then skip dinner, and try to make up for all that lost time?

One of the most frustrating things I see are things being launched, without being tested...

This is usually due to a lack of planning and having to rush towards the end of the project.

They’ll tell you…

And to be completely honest, that’s not a dig…

Same thing if you’re gluten or lactose intolerant…

Last year, from about June through till August, I’d got into the habit of working Monday through Saturday…

I was doing this for about 3 months consecutively…

I was proud that I was taking Sundays off, having that time to rest and recuperate for the week ahead…

But especially online entrepreneurship…

It’s just so easy to wake up, have a quick breakfast, and park yourself at your office desk for the day…

My general phobia of the dentist made me prefer putting up with it as opposed to taking it out…

I remember a few years ago my wife and I were trying to decide where to go out for dinner…

I’ve struggled for years to incorporate good habits into my life…

The thing I’ve found most challenging in 2020 is the false hope…

After a super-tough full lockdown last Spring, I honestly thought we’d got through the worst of it…

2020 has been a bit of a write-off, all things considered…

Be it COVID, politics, or something else…

It’s just been a year to forget ever happened…

I’m calling bullshit...

Why did you move into the online space?

For me, it was due to suffering depression and anxiety, which were both massively connected to my day job, which I left a couple of years back (I’ll go into that some other time…)

I talk a lot about outsourcing tasks in your business, so you can get your time back, and instead focus on revenue generating activity…

And some of us still are there…

In the early days of a solopreneur things can feel both daunting and exciting…

But there is NEVER just one option…

So many folks I’ve spoken to get an idea or come across an issue and believe that is there one and only possible option…

As with most sports fans, it’s something that helps me forget about EVERYTHING else while I’m watching or playing…

The emotion is hard to explain…
