“do something that is in your lane that makes sense to you and where it’s authentic and you are really passionate about it.

And I think that’s why I have also been successful because I make products that I am really passionate about, that I want for myself as well. And I put 110% in, all in”…[Listen for More]

“the process is one that can move quickly, that it can move slowly, that it can be chaotic, that it can be really calm. And to not get attached to any one of those states. Things can be going really well and it doesn’t mean it will go really well for ever. I remember a concept that I learned from Dan Sullivan who is an executive coach from Toronto, he called something when you get into overwhelm as a ‘ceiling of complexity’. And so, things can be going along really, really well and then you just get overloaded, lots of clients and maybe there is things that go wrong and things just start going a little bit chaotic. And a lot of people when they are starting out may say well this is just not worth it or businesses hard or they make it mean also saw things. And really what needs to happen at that point is to simplify and just to re-clarify and then move through the ceiling of complexity as opposed to avoiding it, gets you down or having to fight it. So, to not get attached to anyone state that you are in and to recognise that it is all part of the journey, it’s all part of the process. And when you are clear on where you are going it makes the sometimes rocky road or sometimes rollercoasters experience a lot smoother and perhaps a bit more fun”…[Listen for More]
