Building Better Humans Project

With so many people resistant to change can we truly be surprised when we don't attain our lofty goals? You have to be willing to get uncomfortable. You truly do. Not in the big moments, that will come, but in the small moments when you're not sure you can. Tackle those and you'll train yourself to better in the big moments.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while...

Australia is heading into lockdown. The World is heading into lockdown. Humans / People are heading into meltdown. We have an opportunity here. An opportunity to walk our talk. To be about Building Better Humans not just talking about being better humans. It's time to stand up and be counted. It's time to build your plan for how you can be the best version of yourself and how that person can lead...

I recently chatted to Tom Evans from The SOTA Process . I really enjoyed this chat and Tom was kind enough to allow me to share it here. :-)

Aristotle was quoted as saying we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit. If this is true, and I do believe it is, but if it’s as simple as building better habits and doing better things (taking better actions) then why aren’t we all doing that? Why are you seen as an anomaly when you want to believe in yourself and better yourself? Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to be...

Children see magic because they look for it. I truly believe you can tell a lot about us as a people and as a society by the way in which we treat those less fortunate, children, the elderly, the unwell. I am hyper-focused on helping our next generation at the moment because life for them is so much more difficult and confusing than it was when I was a child. I look back and remember a much simple...

If something matters then everything matters. In other words if something is important to you, a goal, an outcome, a job, a lifestyle, a relationship then everything related to it is important. Everything you do towards that matters. Every Small Step. Every Obstacle. Every Challenge. Every Lesson. Every Action. Every Piece of Learning/Education. Every single piece matters. None is more or less imp...

I love the Habit Loop concept because once you understand it, it takes changing habits to a whole new level. You realise you're in total control of your habits and therefore your life. Simple. Not always easy but definitely simple if you're willing to do the work.

In life there are very few things that will outrival the privilege that leading and guiding others affords us. This isn’t solely true in our professional lives, it’s most important in our private lives. As a parent I am afforded an amazing privilege to guide my children through life and as any parent would know it’s a task that constantly leaves us feeling less than. We feel like we’re not achievi...

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy With 2020 starting as a year of drama, trauma and tragedy I watch closely to the reactions of people through social media, the lens we all see most often with the worlds views on things. There’s rage, anger, uproar, people are offended and with this outrage comes thousands upon thousands of opinions on ho...

Children account for one third of our population but all of our future. Last week I went out and spoke to 250 Year 11 boys and then backed that up with another talk to 200 Year 12 boys at a school in Brisbane called Churchie. It was one of my favourite talks in recent memory because these boys were genuinely interested. They were open and receptive but not only that, the staff were equally into wh...

Everybody wants to eat but few are willing to hunt. Surround yourself with those on the same mission as you. These are two quotes I saw with the back drop being pictures of Lions. Why do so many great motivational picture quotes these days feature lions? Lion Quotes are popular because the Lion is a symbol of personal strength, and courage and leadership. Those who are competitive, and strive for...

To assess the quality of thoughts of people, don't listen to their words, but watch their actions. - Amit Kalantri Well said is better than well done. That's the standard I witness a lot So often people talk to me about the standards they’re setting. The non-negotiable in their life. The hashtag #noexcuses. But when it’s time for the rubber to hit the road is excuse after excuse about how hard the...

People will love you, people will hate you, and none of it will have anything to do with you. — Abraham Hicks It’s human nature to want to be liked and accepted by others. Whether we like it or not we’re a herd animal and not being accepted by the herd, through past generations, literally meant your life and safety was on the line. It meant survival. But today things are different. If people don’t...

“Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.” That is, we are taught what to fear and sometimes this is a good thing. Look before you cross the road. Don’t run with a knife. But other times they are unresourceful as in ‘don’t do that you might hurt yourself. Get down from there you might fall’ These imply falling is dangerous even from a height that won’t do any damage and a...

“I believe in intuitions and inspirations...I sometimes FEEL that I am right. I do not KNOW that I am.” – Albert Einstein Intuition or that GUT FEELING is not a scientific way of making decisions but it helps us to know when something doesn’t FEEL right even if everything else about it seems right. But there’s a trap with intuition too. It’s where we don’t do enough back ground or research, but ha...

Results come from consistently showing up and doing what needs to be done. Not from what you perceive as you doing the work but actually doing the work. Is your time spent on tasks that get results, ie the work that matters? Or are you quote unquote working your butt off, but don’t have the results to show? It’s time to have a long hard look at what you’re doing and the results it’s yielding. Ther...

If you’re inspired by people go to where they started not just where they are now. Understand what forged them. How they were shaped when they were younger, their struggles. Find the clues to what developed their mindset and what created their change. It’ll be much more powerful when you know this stuff.

More is lost through indecision than is lost through making the wrong decision. – Tony Soprano In your life time you have lost more through not being willing to make a decision than if you have made the wrong decision and a few things didn’t turn out ok. You’ve missed opportunities in your professional life whether career or your own business. You’ve missed personal opportunities to grow which in...

My goal for myself and anyone listening to this podcast is to be as well-rounded as possible so when life presents us with whatever opportunities or challenges it does – we can handle it. Well-Rounded to me means working on physical fitness, mental fitness, being resilient, having good relationships, finding harmony with my work and private life and ensuring I find plenty of time to develop myself...

Everything in life has a price. You can have whatever to want so long as you’re willing to pay the price to have it. You can go into debt for the most extravagant of things. You can work harder and for longer to afford the things you want. You will pay in cash for SOME THINGS but in time (blood, sweat and tears) for EVERYTHING. When you want something, ask yourself this question – what will i...
