Your long game, revisited
Your long game is such a fundamental concept for sustainable change. It was why I chose it as the subject for my first post, but the focus of that post was more on the application of your long game rather than the concept itself. On the anniversary of this first post, I want to revisit […]
A year of daily posts
The first post was sent this time last year, and it’s pretty exciting to consider that it’s continued every day since then. There were several reasons behind this initiative. These posts are an ongoing example of what can be achieved by doing something consistently. It’s also been a great challenge for myself, and one that […]
What’s it really costing you?
I live between a Woolworths and a 7-eleven. At Woolworths, I can buy a pack of 4 ice creams for $8, which means each ice cream is only $2 each. At 7-eleven, I can only buy ice creams separately, and each ice cream costs $5. It’s very easy to rationalise going to Woolworths for a […]
Side hustles are businesses
I’ve been grateful to work with a few people that had full-time jobs while doing side hustles. They were far more passionate about their side hustles than their jobs, and it was amazing to see how much more they applied themselves to this true long game. When we started our conversations, many would refer to […]
Everything is energy
This is one of Bec’s favourite sayings. It expresses how everything around you contains energy which you can draw from. Watching a sunrise can be energising. But grey skies can be energising too. Even being stuck in traffic can give you positive energy. Your world is full of energy. It’s simply a matter of how […]
Giving yourself an out
How many times have you made a promise to change but didn’t keep it? While some people find it very effective to set a commitment around a behaviour, others find it too rigid. They’ll still make the commitment, but they’ll also give themselves an out, which inevitably means the commitment won’t last. I’ll only make […]
The issue isn’t the issue
Whenever we are carrying a problem that’s weighing heavily on us, we may respond by finding issues with other things. This can be a positive signal or a negative signal, depending on how everyone is brought on the journey. When the primary issue is recognised by both yourself and the people around you, all the […]

That first win
Every change you make is a step into the unknown. It takes courage to start your journey, because you’re never really sure about what lies ahead. Until you experience that first win. It can come in many forms. It could be that first kilo you lose on the scale. It could be a casual “well […]
Your opportunity cost
Our 20s and 30s have incredible opportunities, but it can be overwhelming choosing which opportunity to pursue. Part of this overwhelm comes from grouping the value of all your options together. We feel that if we choose one option, we miss out on “everything” else. If you want to make more effective decisions, it’s helpful […]
