Changing The World Can Be Scary, Changing The Way You See The World Is Easy

As a kid I liked to sleep in. My oldest bother had taught our family that during the Summer months of the year, if you wanted to sleep in, you had to black out the windows in your room. This usually consisted of garbage bags taped to the window frame, layered on because everyone knew the Sun could get through one bag. What a waste of garbage bags.

Are You Too Busy? Read this.
Please do us all a favour and Stop Complaining About How Busy You Are. We all do this too much these days.

You can lie to employees for a while and still make money as a business. But sooner or later the market will find out, it always does. Information travels too quickly. Read more
3 Reason Why You Won’t Change And What To Do About It
The three reason why you won’t change and inevitably never get out of the hole you’re in.
1. You can’t admit to being wrong.
Usually not being able to change for the better comes down to one thing and one thing only, ego. Yup, you’re your own worst enemy when it comes to major business decisions. To change your organization into an innovative, growing, even thriving company you must take a long hard look at yourself and ask what’s holding you back.
When’s the last time you admitted to being wrong in front of your employees?
How well do you take feedback?
How well would your co-workers say you take feedback?
Are you usually right about everything around the office?
Are you too busy?(cliche answer) Is it you don’t want to let go of control? Read more
