weird and wonderful
I had the opportunity recently to be a sounding board for a good friend preparing for a new client pitch.
Helping him think through the strategy and push the pitch further was so energizing and rewarding. For both of us.
And the result? A strong YES from the client to a monthly retainer!
There’s nothing better than helping people win.

The 1mm rule: Find the small, quirky thing that makes people smile, share, and come back for more. – Greg Isenberg
Focus on something you’re confident will have HIGH VALUE to someone else. And to be rigorous with that assessment, being careful of wishful and unrealistic thinking.
Challenges?
Or, Excuses?
Tom Peter’s passionate and compelling work has been a guiding light throughout my career. Love these fiery reminders.

“Normal is what the majority does, which is why ‘different’ is so much more interesting.” – Simon Sinek
