Uh-oh. Hear that? It’s the sound of new year’s goals shuffling to a dusty corner in the back of humanity’s mind, waiting until December to be plucked out and shaken off again. (Most likely accompanied by a twinge of regret at what they left undone.) Sooooo, let’s not do that. Let’s set ourselves apart from the mass populace. (Meaning, let’s …
When you’re focused on a goal, pouring effort and energy into getting somewhere, it’s easy to feel… inadequate. To begin comparing yourself when things don’t come quick enough. Like to a 16 year old on Tik Tok who has way less experience than you, yet talks to 1.7 million people per day, and can ‘print money’ by making a single …
I’ve been feeling flat this week. It’s not that I’ve lost inspiration or anything. Far from it. The sessions I’ve had this week definitely kept that pep in my step. One in particular stands out: a member of my family who shared how one thing I said when we were 9, gave him the will to keep living. At the …
I’m writing this on a plane to Coffs Harbour. You won’t read it until Sunday (it’s Friday right now – hello from the past!), but my fingers itched to get this down. Because when inspiration knocks, you listen. My partner, Aaron, is snoozing next to me. Looking dashing with that ‘headrest tilt’ and signature plane nap move: the slackjaw half-snore. …
Achieving leadership is not easy, nor is it like earning a degree. “You don’t achieve it and then leave it.” Once you achieve leadership it does not guarantee you will stay there. Leadership is a verb (doing word) not a noun. C W Perry states “leadership is accepting people where they are and taking them somewhere.” To succeed, you help …
We broke a personal record here at Maximum Growth last week. Most number of NEW students on a Masterclass EVERRRR. Can I get a Woop Woop! (Apparently everyone’s way more into shmexy talk than we realised. Lol. We’re so weird. I love that about us.) Anyway, tonnes of work, but the crowd loved it. (Which is a crucial yardstick of …
So the final Q&A session in the 2021 Ultimate New Year Workshop series took an unexpected turn. Almost everyone had some version of “This year’s been so full on already. I feel totally overwhelmed/numb/in my head about things. What do I do?” Grateful you asked. Because I’ve spent YEARS getting overthinkers out of their head and into their heart. (Some …
I did a palm reading course once. Mmhmm. Truly. Got the certificate to prove it and everything. I could throw a silky blanket over this table, slip on a few too many rings and pin a scarf on my head with a giant, sparkly jewel. You could come to me wondering what great fame, fortune… or lurrrrve awaits you in …
Do you think I’m insane? This is the question he asked Ashlee Vance, the author of his autobiography. This was a more a question for himself than for anyone else. Musk pushes boundaries that turn big ideas into big products that serve humanity. He has a willingness to tackle impossible things that most people say is not possible and won’t …
Full disclaimer: it’s not me. I’m not pregnant (one was enough for me) but… Do you ever get that weird tingling under your skin? That niggle at your spidey senses, telling you something’s changed within you. Like the planets are aligning and great things are coming. I dunno what it is but the last couple of weeks the world’s felt …
