Grow & Scale A Business That Will Set You Free

Do You Suffer From SPS?

by Walt | Dec 12, 2019 | Success | 0 Comments

Where do I begin?

What’s the next step? And… what should I do after that?

Will it work? Will people like it?

Will people read it? Applaud? Buy it?

I have no idea.

You see, you think you can figure this all out.

But you can’t.

If you’re someone who suffers from SPS (Smart Person Syndrome) you’re likely convinced that if you think long enough and hard enough about something… a process, a program, a piece of copy, a book, a presentation, a speech… that you can get it right… that you can make it perfect…. that you can work it all out in it’s entirely.

Except…

People with severe SPS get stuck.

Thinking. Hand-wringing. Perseverating.

Inert.

Never acting.

Never getting their work out into the world.

Because they want to figure it all out and get it perfect. Before they begin.

But… That’s not how it works.

You see… you with all of your Smart Person prowess could spend months (or even years) ideating about a project… and still get it wrong. Because your market – your customers and clients – are the only real arbiter of whether something works… or not.

The only prudent thing to do, then, is begin.

Take action.

Start out.

Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

The path will unfold in front of you.

Take that first step.

About The Car

by Walt | Nov 28, 2019 | Success | 0 Comments

Have you ever shopped for a car?

You go out car hunting. You test-drive something you like. You sign a contract and put down a deposit. You’re excited to pick it up in just a few days’ time.

Then you go to the grocery store. And in the parking lot, you see your car… EVERYWHERE.

Everyone has your car. It seems.

What you focus on, you see.

Look for what’s not working in your life… and in the world… and you’re bound to see a whole lot more of that.

Focus on what’s working well, and you’ll surely find a lot more joy.

Don’t Tell This Lie

by Walt | Nov 21, 2019 | Success | 2 Comments

Way too often, you tell yourself a pernicious lie.

You tell yourself, “I can’t.”

I know! I do that too!

“I can’t….” [insert your story here].

… Get on the bike, run the race, lose the weight, create the product, write the book, get the interview, perform the keynote…

“Because… ” [Insert your story here].

I’m tired, I have un-healed trauma, I have too much to do, I’m not ready, I can’t possibly go on.

The truth is: you are capable beyond your wildest imaginings. You are powerful beyond measure.

Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.”

Both may be right. Only one is likely true.

Believe you can.

My Life As A Sandwich

by Walt | Nov 14, 2019 | Success | 0 Comments

I’m a sandwich. You are too.

Sandwiched between two jobs.

Likely more than two… but two important ones for sure.

For your family, friends, clients, customers, and colleagues, you have an obligation to stay on the path of learning and growing; an obligation to be the student.

And… and obligation to be the teacher, the leader.

To lift as you climb.

Be the sandwich.
