How close to the edge will you go?



Here is something that may make you take a little more risk than you would have otherwise. 

What if you viewed the price you pay for the risk in every project as adding to your experience and as an opportunity to discover yourself? Will it then perhaps make you see value in painting close to the fringes?

Do you see risk of failure or chances for success?

Where are you going next?



Exploring what to do next is an act of creativity. But very often, you may explore too far. To the fringes of your imagination. So far off that it takes light years to get there. In fact, it may even scare you. Inundate you with a million ‘what ifs’.

What if, you explored nearer. Close to the territory you are familiar with? Close enough to see where you came from, far enough to conquer new ground.

Sometimes getting to the next big thing is not launching a rocket. It could just mean walking to the edge of your farm to see what’s beyond.

Are you exploring too far?

What’s your ROI?



Success of a business is usually measured by how much profit it makes. But what if success is also measured by the social impact it makes. The good it does. Not in some fancy CSR program but in its daily interactions with suppliers, staff and society? A set of ethics it follows and measured based on how much good it has done. Raised standards of living, responsible for actions it takes and rectifies what is wrong?

In addition to return on investment, what about return on (societal) impact?

Do you measure your personal success based on dollars and sense?

Will you do what you can?



You don’t and you should not pretend to know the future. But what you do know is what you can do now and how you can be creative about your own next small thing. And hopefully it will be come bigger and better.

Will it be the next big thing?  Honestly, I don’t know. But you can do it. When it sees the light of day then it is well worth it versus an idea that sits in the deep recesses of your grey matter. Or trying to figure out what is the next big thing.

What are you working on next?

How are you balancing?



You feel stress trying to achieve balance because you think balance is an end point. You think it is static.

You are not the fulcrum trying to balance both sides. You are the effort that exists in the system of a balancing act.

Try this. Balance is dynamic. It’s constantly in a flux because your thoughts and your moods are constantly moving and changing. Add to this the stimulation and irritation of everyday life, the only way balance can appear is for you to be in the flow.

That’s when balance is achieved.

Now, is balance static?

Why are you in the business you are in now?



Business exists solely to deliver profits to investors? Or does business exists solely as a service to the community and that service begets remuneration? The remuneration may result in a loss though. If the service is done well enough and the business managed wisely, then a profit often appears.

Businesses built on a platform to serve have more soul because its strategy is connected to its value. 

The same for your job.

What motivates you to serve? To do the work that you do? It cannot just be money. The option to make money is boundless. Surely there are a lot of jobs out there that can deliver more money to you. So, why this job? 

In the accounting of your life, money doesn’t always have to be the key driver. 

What is beyond profit for you?

How much can you spare?



There are a lot of people who talks a lot and nothing productive actually comes out of talking to these people. There are those who talks and not give. And there are those who talks and don’t do. 

They do so for a few reasons:
One, they want to take but don’t want to give. So, they pretend that their input is actually talking. This is usually hidden as advice or priceless opinions. They wait for you to produce and they want a share of the credit. These people forget, the more you give – time, effort, execution - the more you get.

Then there are those who are too afraid of losing face. They keep talking because they are afraid they won’t have the last word. To these people having the last word is winning. 

And those who talks and criticize but cannot do it themselves? They do so because they are too afraid to commit. They rather heckle from the back and they prefer that kind of attention. They do not risk anything by not committing.

See, when you talk and do? You commit with their guts. When you commit with your guts, you risk being eviscerated. But you know that's the price to pay for a worthwhile goal.

Are you uttering nonsense?
