    What’s your biggest flex?

    May 11, 2023 /

    I see a lot of “dream life” talk these days on the socials. Everyone (it seems) is talking the talk. But, I’m wondering how many are walking the walk. I’d ask, what’s your biggest flex? In the world of social media, splashing the car, the watch, the hell-expensive is one thing, MARKETING. But here’s the think no one is telling you… the stuff you want (or think you want) has TWO price tags. One is called MONEY and the other is called TIME. The $300,000 car will require a substantial time investment. When you ask yourself can I afford this? Also ask yourself, do I want to do the work…

    It was Enough for James Corden

    April 29, 2023 /

    James Corden just turned down $50M dollars to extend his Late Late Show gig. That seems crazy-pants, right? $50M for just 5 more years, who would turn that down? The reality is, not many people would. Most actors and athletes would never turn that amount of cabbage down. They keep going, keep climbing, no matter the cost on their family or their health. James knew, enough was enough. WATCH THE INTERVIEW HERE. When is Enough, Enough? It’s no secret that Rob and I believe that after the essentials of life are met, ENOUGH is ENOUGH when work encroaches on the things that are important in your life for happiness. It’s…

    494: Finding Balance: Navigating the Line Between a Successful Business and a Fulfilling Life

    April 21, 2023 /

    As a business coach, one of the biggest challenges I see entrepreneurs face is the tendency to have blind spots in their business. These can be anything from not delegating enough to spending too much time on non-essential activities. Identifying and overcoming these blind spots is crucial to achieving overall efficiency and success in your business and personal life. One effective way to overcome blind spots is to organize your thoughts and get everything out of your head. By doing this, you free up mental space that can be used to focus on more important tasks. There are many ways to do this, such as through journaling or using a…
