The Neverending World of Learning Something New

I think this is my favourite topic to post about it. I love the idea of challenging ourselves to learn something new and to see what we can really accomplish if we put our minds to it. Check out this video of this guy who practices doing backflips all day long. I love the time metric in the bottom corner showing what it actually took for him to learn that skill. I wanted to try out this theory to see if I could learn something simple, so I did, I learned to juggle, here are the results and here’s what

Repeating Yourself

I wrote two blogs on a very similar topic thirteen days apart. Chalk it up to forgetting what I wrote when or having an idea to do something better or simply having that much to say on the topic. (I’ll go with the first one). Here is the first one on July 14, 2017 – The Authentic Sales Funnel Here is the second one on July 27, 2017 – The New Sales Funnel Both similar topics as I continue to navigate a world of funnels and lead generation for new projects I’m undertaking.

And now, a month (or maybe less) later, here you are deleting it, but not wanting to delete it. You’re staring at it wondering why did I write this?  What was I thinking?  And most predominantly at the forefront of your brain – how much it took? How much time did I expend writing all of this?

Purge your Personal Backlog

Today, at this moment, every activity I undertake is outlined via a myriad of Trello boards. Ideas I have for blog posts. Further fleshed out article ideas and outlines. The odd product idea. Marketing directions. And the list goes on. At this point in time, these are my backlog. Maybe it was a spark of genius that hit me on the way home from the hardware store or maybe I was at the park and the light looked funny. Whatever it was, they were inspirations to make things happen. But as the list grew longer with all my blog post
