442 - Blue Work Slash Pockets are All About YOU! 17.09.2021

Today, I want to teach you how I think about the blue slash pocket topics in my Friday Workbox. At first, blue is for you. Then, as your business or role grows, blue becomes the color for your team.

Purple projects...

436 - Decide and Make a Plan 27.08.2021

It's time to decide and make a plan. Last week, we talked about what is in your control . Control is about the decisions you make, how often you decide, and the impact of the decisions you make. These things matter much more than how many decisions you make. Today, we will talk about different aspects of decision making. Deciding seems so final. It's really not. I will teach you about making delib...

432 - What is in Your Control? 20.08.2021

Here's the thing, you don't have very much control over almost anything. But, you have so much control over a few things.

But, I can't see the future. COVID keeps changing our lives. It is one of the things t...
