It’s not easy being a boss. Actually, it can be easy depending on your level of experience -- but being a good boss; well, that’s something else. Earning the respect of your team/employees is often confused with being a one-way deal. They (the team) have to listen to the boss, no matter what. Factually, this simply isn’t true. No boss wants a team of people-pleasers, and no boss wants a team that isn’t willing to follow simple instructions. It’s a tough balance to strike, but it ca[...]

What is Flow State? “Flow state” or as I like to call it “Goddess mode” is a mental state in which a person is completely absorbed by a single task or activity. You’ll often hear people call it as being “In the zone.” You can think of Flow State as having similarities with mindfulness. Both of them need us to focus on the present -- to be in the moment. You can also look at Flow state as being productive (which is obviously beneficial to us and our busines[...]
What is a Scarcity Mindset? A scarcity mindset is a belief that there will never be enough for everyone in the world. A scarcity mindset is a poisonous approach to life which can be harmful to ourselves and others if we don’t deal with it early in our lives. People that carry a scarcity mindset are always thinking about which parts of their lives are missing something or are unfulfilled. They compare their achievements to others, thinking of themselves as lesser and being unable to[...]

Many people struggle with this feeling, so in the spirit of helping I decide to write a post that shows some of the ways we can overcome impostor syndrome. It[...]

I’m glad you you asked. 1. Set Goals This might seem obvious, but it’s easier to manage your time effectiv[...]
When people talk about ways of earning success they often bring up things like how you need to: “jump at the opportunity”, have solid “business plans” and remember that it’s all “risk versus reward”. That’s all well and good, however, there is more to finding success. It’s not easy, no matter what scam artists say, but I believe the road to success can be made much smoother. It’s important to remember that success is never guaranteed; at-least not in th[...]
