Do you have a Prime Directive? This morning, as I was taking my Siberian Husky Ares for his morning walk, I had an idea pop into my head. It was the idea of the Prime Directive, and how it can be used in place of the phrase Life’s Mission, Definite Chief Aim, or Definitive Purpose. As you may recall from Reflection 037 you set your Direction in alignment with your primary mission in life, your calling, your purpose. Likewise, a Prime Directive is an order or mission which presents the overriding control over a course of action

How invested are you in your success? The other day I saw a video on social media where a big influencer was asking people in their mastermind how much money they’d spent on self-education before they cracked 7-figures. While there was a range there was a definite pattern of investment in coaching, courses, and masterminds to acquire the knowledge and achieve the success.

Do you have SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedures) in your life and business? If not, it’s time to get off the hamster wheel, and start getting these things in place. When I was at The Edge Mastermind last month, one of the speakers walked us through the creation of SOP’s within our businesses.

My wife on the other hand, is home with our daughter, on her birthday, while I’m not there...

Have you ever heard the phrase “look before you leap”? I’m sure we all have, and considering that today is Lead Day or Leap Year Day, I felt it would be fitting to share my Reflections on it. Looking before you leap can be considered wise counsel in many contexts. I’m a fan of reading the book of Proverbs and one of the verses says that where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. So I’m not saying that council is wrong, but in business there are many times you just gotta take the leap. Call it faith, call it what you will...

How awesome is the experience you create? Whether we think in the context of business, friendships, parenting, or marriage the experiences we create for others make a huge difference. At the mastermind I was at recently, Dean brought in his good friend Randy Garn and Randy shared a presentation with us about the Transformation Economy.
