I’ve taken the plunge and I’m going all in on being an entrepreneur…

Taking a deliberate approach to growing your network means finding people you want to learn from, exchange ideas with, buy from, propose ideas/products/services to, etc.

Most of us use our phone as the easy way to relieve some of that pressure by escaping into digital landscapes, scrolling, watching, reading, liking and sharing. Meanwhile, those we care about – our loved ones – and the work we take pride in suffer from our inattention.

You probably think you ‘should’ spend more time and energy on building a network, but it feels so cringeworthy and you don’t want to bother people and – heaven forbid – you definitely don’t want to come across as needy or salesy.

Your relationships with your stakeholders will improve significantly when you start asking more and better question.

Right when the clocks went back, Andy and I both noticed that we suddenly started to feel really tired and struggled to get out of bed. We’re morning people, so what was going on?

I bet that many of you struggle with the same challenge as me: really paying attention when our brain is being targeted by so many distractions in the form of notifications, sounds, badges, screens, tabs, calls, messages and more.

When we set ourselves goals and targets it’s easy to forget how far we’ve come already. Especially during times when we’re working hard to accomplish something and we feel like we’re not making progress.

Are you proud of the work you’re doing?

Are your projects picking up speed but you feel you’re being left behind? It’s time to get your work mojo back…

I’ll be the first to admit that I find it difficult to get feedback. Mainly because I put a ton of work into the things I do. It feels like I couldn’t have done any more. And then someone finds the things I should have done. That’s hard to take.
