You can’t teach hustle from @MaddyOsman
by
Maddy Osman gets a bit ranty (and it’s well deserved) with this one calling out business coaches and online courses. Oh and I love the whole article. First with some great points like: Building a successful business takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (more so the latter…
Blog to write, tweet to fight
by
I met many people through Twitter who became and remain important collaborators and friends. But the salad days of “blog to reflect, tweet to connect” are gone. Long gone. Over the last year, especially, it has seemed much more like “blog to write, tweet to fight.” – Back to the Blog I never left and…
@MaddyOsman and the girl power desk
by
Always fun to see how others work. I just couldn’t do a desk that is so narrow. Would drive me bonkers. I need that USB charging station in at least two spots in my house. Neither of them is my desk though since I rarely allow devices to reside at my desk during work. I…
The ONLY Thing You Don’t Let Get Away from your is Family
by
To achieve an extraordinary result you must choose what matters most and give it all the time it demands. This requires getting extremely out of balance in relation to all other work issues, with only infrequent counterbalancing to address them. – The One Thing Tom and his social media sabbatical Say no to the hustle…
Keeping in Touch
by
There were some good musicians (but not amazing musicians) who where great at keeping in touch. So when opportunities came my way, guess who I thought of to recommend? – Keep in Touch I find this as well. The people that I’m coaching end up getting almost all the referrals I have because I talk…
How Do You Leverage The Power in Life’s Small Moments?

Our life is comprised of discrete moments. We get up, and that’s a moment. We come in the door and greet our spouse…moment. We tell our kids to get off us…moment. Our lives are measured in moments, and defining moments are the ones that endure in our memories. How are we executing those moments? Are…
@patrickrhone on time
by
The difference is how we choose to spend that time. There may be some very valid reasons why you choose to spend your 24 hours differently than how I choose mine. And, there are some things we all have to choose in order to simply stay alive. We all need to sleep, at some point,…
This is the Reason your Personal Productivity System is Broken
by
OmniFocus is amazing. It’s one of the most powerful task managers out there. It’s highly flexible and yet has a few constraints that force you to make smart decisions. 2Do is another great application. It has some great things that OmniFocus could learn from, and it could learn some things from it’s older brother at…
Podcasts and Expanding your Mind
by
I was on a run recently and crossed paths with a cycling friend. As we talked on the side of the road my friend wanted some recommendations for podcasts and books to help him think more about his work and what he could be doing. So here is that list of podcasts that will expand…
Is there a price to freelancer freedom?
by
However, the price of such freedom is a precariousness that seems not to subside over time. Even the most successful, well-established people we interviewed still worry about money and reputation and sometimes feel that their identity is at stake. You can’t keep calling yourself a consultant, for example, if clients stop asking for your services.…
