Why Less Passion Is Better for Your Business
Gobble-gobble-gobble- everyone seems to be talking about how necessary it is to ‘fuel your passion’ to succeed in business.
I’m here to say ‘No!’ You don’t need to fuel your passion- less passion is sometimes much, much better for your long-term business.
Some Hot Recommendations
My friend and colleague Adam Kayce, who, when I first met him, was an incredibly important teacher for me, is nearly done with Sixth Sense: How to be Divinely Guided in Your Work and Your Life.
You have to understand that Adam is one of the most accurate intuitives I know. He found mold and an electrical problem in our house from across town. He’s spotted medical problems, and he’s even helped me diagnose my marketing.
How to Hand Off Your Most Hated Business Tasks
No one likes everything you need to do to run your business. And, even if you did, there is no way you could do it all. So, the natural answer is to delegate, handoff, hire an assistant, whatever you need to do to offload those tasks.
The problem is, that the tasks you hate the most are the most difficult to hand off, and the ones most likely to bite you in back afterwards. For instance, I had to have an ENTIRE YEAR of bookkeeping redone when I first hired out that task. Why? And, more importantly, how do you avoid it?

Without people having a deep sense of comfort in themselves, I don’t hold hope for any long-lasting healing in this world.
Urgent Shut-off Notice
One of my favorite things has been going through old bills, and seeing how a couple of years ago how many times we received “Final Urgent Shut-off Notice.”
Is Your Authenticity Creating Growth or Stagnation?
I have a recommendation for you for this year: Take a risk and be inauthentic. Authenticity, being yourself, is the foundation of your health, and the health of your business. But, it can also be a source of stagnation, and, eventually, your death. It has to do primarily with how many of us learn. For […]
Blindspot Insults
A few days ago, my mastermind group caught me in my blindspot. It all started during my check-in during the call. One of my buddies suggested to me to think about getting a fulfillment house. My response: “It only takes 30 seconds a book. I pick up the book, I pick up the letter, I […]
This Is a Small Experiment
Blogging has not reached the pinnacle of my priority list, but it has moved up a notch or two, for a couple of reasons:
