Hello, World (no really…)

Question: Why Do I Feel More Alive When Seeking Than When Having What I Want?
476 days ago“Curious about your thoughts on this one: Why do I feel more alive when seeking then when having the experience I want? Hope you had a killer week.”

The feeling of “alive” can only be felt in the moments when you are the most still. In those moments, where nothing is moving, you can feel the subtle turning over of your cells’ nuclei, moving and rebirthing with an internal energy. That is life. It can be felt in the space between breaths.

Three Types Of Earners (Which Are You?)
865 days agoSome things surprised us about this call. First off, we had to get more lines because there were over 730 people registered – which felt really good.

How To Fold Time And Space – The Entrepreneur’s Magic Wand
929 days agoWhen you are running a business of any size, there is more to do than you have time for. I sometimes tell first-time CEOs to make a list of everything that absolutely MUST get done. Then notice that there is so much on that list that it can’t possibly all get done. The difference between a successful company and a failed one can be a matter of which “absolutely essential” things the CEO let slip through the cracks, and which actually got done. When you run your own business, prioritization can be a joke.

The time is now to recognize that resource consumption is the X-factor that will determine who will survive the next epoch of capital evolution. We must focus on it now, simply because we must. The alternative is the inability to continue existence as corporations, as nations, and as individuals.
