You did it! Congratulations. You made the thing, did the thing, and now look at world because you are doing it. Though lately you aren't sure if you're "killing it" or if it's "killing you."

In case you haven't heard, your head is filled with "chatter" formerly known as "noise." Food chatter, self doubt chatter, it can all leave you feeling like a Mad Hatter, but unlike a bad movie, you can't just turn it off or walk out of the theater and demand your money back.

Everyone has an opinion, and hearing from someone who has "been there" and "done that," can be useful, but just like free food, you want to think about "where" it's coming from. From "doctors" claiming to be nutrition or hormone experts, to "entrepreneurs" claiming world domination via rental units, laundry mats, and vending machines; the big...

Some people swear by checklist, while others cry, "Abandon yee checklist, and go with the flow." I recently noticed the my list of urgent tasks had grown a bit longer than I was comfortable with. I had also given in to chilling with a little t.v. before bed the night before. In fact, though I was no longer watching YouTube videos before bed (should you be asleep right now), I was startin...

Ever notice how in the U.S. we praise celebrities for posing on the red carpet and "slaying," how we tell friends they look "hot," but the moment those same people say, "I look good," the general consensus is that is a big no-no. Seriously, unless you identify as a member of a marginalized group that isn't conventionally attractive, then you are vain for even dar...

Why is it that podcast I used to enjoy, seem to slowly be taken over by interviews with people in their 20's and 30's talking about how they've become millionaires doing  and that it's so simple even your non tech savvy grandpa can do it. In fact, with some go-getter, don't stop attitude, you too can have your cake and eat it to. Or can you? Does living the good life, or a...

Seems like politicians and political commentators are flocking to the cameras to simply yell. It's a little strange seeing so many older people shouting about how the country is falling into disrepair because of their opponents wanton ways.  Maybe in your own life, you're feeling angry and like the only way that you can be heard is by shouting. Maybe all that shouting is making you angry...

You're working hard, but it seems with every dollar earned, another two dollars are needed. It can be frustrating especially if you feel that you've put off having fun, going out, travel, starting a family, dating, getting married, or just getting a massage.

Despite all of the modern conveniences associated with technology, it seems we are all fighting something: fighting for the right to privacy, fighting to keep our jobs, fighting for safe schools, fighting to lose weight, fighting to be heard, fighting for a marriage, fighting the urge to scroll more, fighting to find time for peace and quiet-- with all of this fighting, it's no wonder people...

For decades, the self help sector has been telling those in western countries to set goals. Actually setting goals isn't enough, they need to be S.M.A.R.T. goals and the only way to achieve them isn't through multi-tasking, but rather the popular productivity hack of the week. But not many gurus talk about what to do once the goals have been reached. You've got the car, the house, m...

While there are a ton of viral shorts with people asking Chat GPT to do stupid things, and an equal number of YouTube videos promising you can become rich just by using AI, there are a number of people who quietly try...

Have you ever been told that the solution to your business struggles, is simple to niche down? Want more customers, clients, followers, fans... well, you have to niche down. Is that really a solution? If Amazon just stayed focused on that super small niche of people who like books, then it wouldn't be the behemoth that exists today.
