Use Friction to Your Advantage
People are not inclined to do anything if there is friction - additional time, distance or effort is required. This is why we often procrastinate or don’t accomplish goals. However, while friction often works against us, we can use it to our advantage. Here’s how.
How to Become More Successful at Work
Building relationships, especially with a mentor and a sponsor, is key to the success of any person’s career or business. Soft touchpoints or frequent interactions are easy ways to establish them.
Embrace the Process, Not the Outcome
We all love the easy victory. The quick solution. Yet, sustainable success comes from investing in the process, not the product.
Grit or Quit?
You can’t succeed at anything unless you stick to it. You do need grit. But you also need to know when to quit.
More is Not More
Don’t continue to add more options and choice. Home in, fine tune, and create excellence.
Hire Better Employees with This Interview Process
While finding the right hire can be challenging, a streamlined interview process will help find the right candidate. By following the steps outlined here, you might discover it is much easier to find the right person for the job than you’ve experienced before.
Rethinking Success
Rethink traditional measures of success. Instead, aim for incremental growth - being a little bit better than the previous day, week, or year.
Goal Setting for 2023
Let go of traditional goal setting in 2023. Instead, adopt a yogic philosophy - give 100% to whatever task you’re doing but remain detached from the outcome. It may bring more enjoyment and balance to your life.
How to “Win” an Argument
Stop trying to win an argument the old fashioned way. Instead, try listening, staying open minded, being curious, asking genuine questions, finding common ground, and modeling confident humility. This behaviour is much more effective at getting people to rethink their position.

A Step in Another Direction
In a society where moving up the ladder and getting a promotion seems to be the ultimate goal, lateral moves are underestimated and undervalued. However, I would argue, they are even more important.
Do the Work
A great piece of advice from comedian & actor, Cameron Esposito. "There is no formula for success—you just begin and then you continue… Do the work. Over and over again, just do the work.”
The Compensation Challenge
Getting compensation right can be difficult and doing it wrong may have the opposite result than you anticipate. But if the process is data-driven and transparent, and everyone clearly understands how rewards are given, you are much more likely to have a happier, motivated workforce.
Are You an Imposter?
Moments of doubt will happen, but it doesn’t mean you lack ability or confidence. It usually means you’re stretching yourself and learning something new.
Sometimes You Have to Let Go
Occasionally there is no fix to a challenging situation. Sometimes you just have to let go.
Enjoy the Process
Buddhist monks spend hours, sometimes weeks, crafting elaborate sand mandalas – only to dismantle it once it has been completed. All that work is gone in seconds.
Like the mandala, the results of our work may one day be gone. However, it is the process that matters most; the work is our journey.
