Welcoming Adversity

ByBrad Farris January 12, 2023January 9, 2023

The first project I ever led was a debacle. The design didn’t work; the product shipped late with huge cost overruns. Then it failed in the market – no one wanted to buy it. I got my first chance to lead a company just as my marriage was falling apart. I quit the job I…

Are you too busy?

ByBrad Farris January 10, 2023January 9, 2023

I was at a holiday party last month, and it was full of agency owners. As I walked through the crowd, I must have heard this snippet of conversation a dozen times. “How are you?” “Oh, I’m so busy, just slammed. It’s really overwhelming…” Each time I heard it, I got more disturbed. Why do…

What is enough?

ByBrad Farris January 5, 2023January 5, 2023

In the last three years, I’ve worked with several founders who made their businesses smaller, intentionally. Their businesses had grown in ways that became a burden. For some, it was generating the work to cover everyone’s salaries. For others, their size created a firm that was no longer a fit for the work they loved…

Do you want to be perfect or present?

ByBrad Farris December 1, 2022December 20, 2022

I was listening to Rachel Rogers and Corey Arvinger talk on the Hello7 Podcast, and this section caught my ear! Rachel: And I think making quick decisions is the mark of a powerful CEO, right? A lot of people think about it forever, hem and haw for months. And it’s like the opportunities are passing…

Your personal highlight reel

ByBrad Farris November 29, 2022December 20, 2022

Would you be willing to take 30 seconds to do a little experiment with me? Think back to a time in the last few weeks when you were in top form. Everything was clicking, you were at your best, and you could feel it. Do you have an example in mind? What did that moment…

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

ByBrad Farris November 17, 2022December 20, 2022

Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear. – George Addair Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve heard clients say: “How much should I worry about [ fill in the blank ]?” “Even the idea of this conversation terrifies me!” “Looking at my financials makes me anxious, so I avoid them!”…

Aim high when driving…

ByBrad Farris November 10, 2022December 20, 2022

One of the things that I told my children when I was teaching them to drive is it better to make small adjustments to the steering wheel than big ones, particularly when you’re driving fast! Big adjustments to the steering wheel can make the car feel and act unstable. The same is true in your…

Why doesn’t this ever work?

ByBrad Farris October 25, 2022December 20, 2022

A few weeks ago, I talked about how “being with what is” is a leadership superpower, so when I heard this Byron Katie quote this week, it hit me hard! “When you argue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.” ~ Byron Katie Right away, some examples came to mind: That was such…

The fake money experiment, part 2

ByBrad Farris September 29, 2022December 20, 2022

On Tuesday, we discussed the fake money experiment I started a few months ago. I became aware of how anxious I was around money, and in an attempt to become more comfortable with money, I bought $50,000 worth of fake cash and stacked it on the side of my desk. Maybe just being around money…

The fake money experiment.

ByBrad Farris September 27, 2022December 20, 2022

This spring, I started an experiment. I had come across this video clip of Oreoluwa Sorunmu saying, “Money just finds its way to me. I think money recognizes me, money is comfortable around me, and money likes me. So money feels when it needs someone to talk to, it will choose me in the crowd…
