Which Kind Of Learner Are You? (I’m #2)
You’ve got 2 types of learners: Passive and Active Passive learners prefer to absorb information, attend seminars, read books and learn tools they may – or may not – use. Pure knowledge is the goal. (Think academics, researchers, and some content creators.) Active learners prefer to apply what they learn. They gain insights and distinctions […]
Skeletons In The Closet
You have any skeletons in the closet? I do. (And not the dancing buns-out in the bedroom on a Sunday kind.) When I started my business, I leaned HARD on that affirmation, “I do whatever it takes and pay whatever price to bring my services of love to the world.” Emphasis on “do whatever it […]
Intelligent guesses only (a business question)
You’re a smart cookie – take a guess: What do you think is the least sexy idea in business growth? Tax strategy? Insurance and indemnity? If you ask me… I’d say it’s the one that gurus find the hardest to sell because it doesn’t hit you with an instant dopamine fix: Doing the work. Not […]
You Forgot, Didn’t You
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 […]
Is It Ever Ok To Compare Ourselves? (Even to teens?)
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 […]
What’s Your Story?
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 […]
Chocolates, Ping Pong And Keith Urban
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 […]
5 Levels Of Leadership
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 […]
Overwhelmed
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 […]
For You, My Overthinker
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 […]
