Social Media Destroys Entrepreneurs. Grow Your Business Without It.

For most of us entrepreneurs there really are few things worse than social media. You think it’s helpful to you, but in reality it’s just a parasite that slowly sucks the life out of you and your business. The big social media platforms have spent millions and millions of dollars to try to persuade us that they’re indispensable for our businesses. If you don’t exist on social media, you don’t exist at all, right? Nah! What a bloody joke that is. We all know that social media can be bad for individuals’ mental health. But it’s properly poisonous for business …

The Life Long Habit Rule : Turns Out Einstein was Right (again)

I recently came across this crazy article called ‘People who talk to themselves aren’t crazy. They’re actually geniuses. In the article, they pointed towards a couple of shocking studies by Swingley and Lupyan in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology. They had two groups of people. The first group they told without any instruction, look at this image and try and find the banana and they timed how long it took on average for that group to find the banana. Then they got the second group of people and told that group to talk to themselves by consistently repeating ‘banana, …

Charlie Chaplin : As I began to love myself

This is Charlie Chaplin at age 26, photographed 100 years ago. It’s believed he wrote the poem below at age 70. I feel he pretty much said it all with this one… As I began to love myself, I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is Authenticity. As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though …

Work from an inspiring place to produce inspiring work

People keep telling me that the laptop lifestyle doesn’t exist. That it’s a myth that will never result in anything. In the modern day workplace, companies require that you sit in your little office, with your suit and tie on, next to a phone to be productive. That only instils a feeling of boredom and being trapped, with nothing around you to inspire or influence your performance. How can you be productive when you are faced with the same four walls everyday, with corporate memos blue-tacced to the walls? And then there’s office politics. Don’t get me started on office …

Top 9 Life Lessons from 100 Year Olds

I don’t normally do guest posts, but this one seemed to be sensible and it’s a subject I need to learn more about, so I hope it’s helpful for you too. By Greg Thurston Creator of 7 Minute Mindfulness Watching videos of centenarians, you start to see a theme: they seem content. That might be shocking to younger people, especially anyone who fears old age. Maybe we fear missing out on opportunities in life, and worry that we’ll find ourselves too old to do things. But we have many interviews of people 100 and older, and they love to share …

How To Get Better Results By Controlling Your Thoughts

Steven Green’s Cycle of Performance Once again, I return to the inimitable Steven Green. Here, he shows how the results we get are due to our ‘Cycle of Performance’. This is his own model that he’s devised to improve his life, and he’s teaching others how to do it too. Basically, everything is linked, and we control the whole thing. To understand how to change the end results, we must understand how we arrive there, and what steps are involved along the way. All Results are ultimately Controlled by our Actions. Results are our output. How we live. Steven explains that …
