I was recently speaking to a group of corporates.
And I had to smile.
Corporates are often so caught up in dogma, in rules, in political correctness, in meetings, that they can’t see the wood for the trees.
If you run an SME, you don’t need to apply this massive handbrake.
And that gives you an advantage to think faster, to move faster, and to be better.
Use it.
In arguments, we often want to be right. But being right is not the same as being wise.
One of the greatest lies we tell ourselves is that we’re falling behind. That someone else is ahead.
As a young man I associated strength with force; louder voices, sharper opinions, firm lines in the sand.
There’s a strange kind of pride we’ve developed in being exhausted. But even lions, the king of the jungle, rest.
I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have ambition.
We sometimes believe strength means self-sufficiency — that being independent means being isolated.
