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…

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…

I feel guilty about taking time off.

ByBrad Farris August 11, 2022December 20, 2022

When I ask my clients, “Why are you working on vacation?” They tell me that they feel guilty if they don’t. Their staff is hard at work, they don’t want to let clients down, and there’s just so much to do I have to keep going. I’ll let you in on a little secret…your team…

There’s a time to work and a time to rest

ByBrad Farris August 9, 2022December 20, 2022

Sorry I missed talking with you all last week. It’s not that I didn’t have things to share with you; I’ve got some good stuff brewing. Neither is it that I don’t care about you or prioritize this conversation. I was simply taking some time off to have fun! I could have scrambled around the…

Go Outside, preferably someplace wild!

ByBrad Farris July 23, 2022December 20, 2022

Very few things give you the same improvement in physical and mental health as a good dose of nature! If you follow the thread and look at the studies, you’ll find Two hours per week outside in nature significantly improve physical and mental health. As little as 10 – 20 minutes of sitting or walking…

Some ideas take time

ByBrad Farris July 21, 2022December 20, 2022

There’s a Japanese white pine bonsai in the National Arboretum in Washington DC that is 391 years old. It was planted in 1625, and it survived the bombing of Hiroshima. Six generations of the Yamaki family have cared for it. When I think about that tree, I have tremendous respect for the commitment, skill, and…

Persisting through the “messy middle.”

ByBrad Farris July 14, 2022December 20, 2022

Part of what makes it hard to give things time and to be patient when results are slow is that we keep raising the stakes on ourselves. We start something new; maybe we start doing more consistent outreach. In the first week, we see 1 – 2 leads, and the second week the same. Now…

What to do when progress is slow?

ByBrad Farris July 12, 2022December 20, 2022

I’ve made a solid plan, considered every angle, and committed myself to the actions I need to take to execute the plan. I’m seeing progress, and there are signs of hope, but I haven’t seen things “turn the corner.” It will get really stressful around here if things don’t improve soon. I need to see…

This is your calendar on drugs…

ByBrad Farris June 16, 2022December 20, 2022

Whenever I see someone’s calendar and it looks like a failing game of Tetris, it reminds me of that Anti-drug PSA from the ’80s. Because if I tried to manage that many meetings, changing topics and keeping track of everything, my brain would fry. One of the first assignments I work on with clients is…
