Was it my place to say something?

Something heartbreaking happened while I was being interviewed on a (very) well-known podcast earlier this month. And I still feel regret that I didn’t do anything to address it after it happened. Halfway through the interview, the podcast host found himself interrupted by one of his young children who had opened the door to his […]

The most heartbreaking aspect of scaling a successful business and becoming a more amazing version of you

So, what is the most heartbreaking aspect of scaling a successful business and becoming a more amazing version of you? Outgrowing people you love. Recently, we let go of an outside consultant who had come aboard to help MindFix grow about a year ago. He’d provided a deeply supportive energy to me personally as I’d […]

The Magic To-Do List Hack That Changes Everything

(Learned this years ago and it’s ????.) Here you go: Sometimes, you just look at your to-do list and freeze. You loaded it up with too much. Everything on it seems important. What should you do first? You don’t FEEL like doing any of it. Most people who find themselves facing an overwhelming to-do list […]

Why We Sometimes React In Ways That Don’t Match the Situation

Recently I found myself bent over in my dining room, clutching my knees, repeating over and over again, “Am I going to die??” A current client had a husband who would scream at her if she’d make a tiny mistake, insisting she was trying to ruin their marriage. Millions of times a day, people across […]

Uncertainty is THIS (in raw form)

Had a fascinating client session a while back with a fellow who uncovered how his deep fear of uncertainty was keeping him frozen, unable to move forward in business.

The second statement takes ownership. Someone who makes the first statement feels angry and experiences powerlessness — […]

“You are a Vampire-Giraffe”

Yep. A Vampire-Giraffe. So, question: If I put this “quote” in cursive and slapped it on a pretty background of a sunset and told you read this 100x/day… …AND I told you that if you TRULY believed it you’d double your wealth and increase your happiness by 10x…. HOW MANY DAYS would it take until […]

How often are you ruthlessly asking yourself “IS WHAT I’M DOING RIGHT NOW GOING TO GET ME WHERE I WANT TO BE 3 MONTHS FROM NOW?”

If you’re like most of the population, the honest answer looks something like “…erm, no.” This week alone I came across… A woman spending HOURS agonizing over which shade of blue to use in her new logo’s text. She posted multiple posts and gathered hundreds of opinions from random people who weren’t in her target […]
