I have seen countless business owners shy from articulating their business strategy because they “aren’t great at strategy and don’t have any great ideas.”
What they mean is “I don’t have any ideas with a 100% chance or success and no chance of being criticised.
But no great ideas? Seriously.
There are no ideas that have a 100% chance of success. Shit happens, both positive and negative. The successful business owner creates internal certainty that whatever happens they will be able to respond.
If you don’t want to fail, don’t try, don’t leave the house, but also don’t expect to be successful.
Pondering life and the environment, I came to a realisation.
The natural order of things is to revert to equilibrium.
I like to do breathwork meditations while lying down in the sauna.
Capital allocation is a huge part of success in business.
We recently flew up to Wellington with my daughter, Flossie, to look at a pony that might be perfect for her next season.

The other day, we dropped off Zara for her first day of high school in the morning and attended a friend’s child’s funeral in the afternoon.
