Monday motivation: do what works
Today as I was reading the book the entrepreneur rollercoaster I was reminded to do what works. Recently I had close the client and started working with them but then I changed the process of my marketing and Watt had gotten me that played in the first place. I then went through a series of trying to figure out how to get more clients. Instead of doing what had work the first time I was trying to invent another way. Now I have just been reminded to do what worked the first time. Do what works

Lockdown: Create Don’t Consume
Use this time to create. Use this time to really push hard and make sure everyone knows what you do. Don’t just sit back and watch Netflix. Don’t do what everyone else is doing. Focus more on promoting and creating stuff for everyone else to consume. Pour more energy and effort into it so that you’re the one that everyone is watching. Use this time to come out on top while everyone else scrambles. It’s an opportunity. Seize it.

Truth Tuesday: Let It Go
Let go of anything that is holding you back. You need to let go of who you were in order to become who you want to be. You need to let go of old ideas in order to grow into a new person and new beginnings. You need to let go of people in your life that don’t add value and that hold you back. The second half of the year has started. You got to move fast and get what you want. This means letting go of anything that is weighing you down and stopping you from getting to your goals.

Winners’ Wednesday: One Take
Six years ago I was given a piece of advice to only do one take when I am doing a video or a photo or any piece of content. So this is the same advice that I give to you, do one take! Don’t overthink things. Don’t get caught pondering what other people think. Don’t get stuck in your head. Take action! Do it now! Do it in one take!

Truth Tuesday - You Don’t Know Yourself
When I sit down with people the first few things I ask them is “what are your values? List me your top 10.” Most of them have no idea. A few can name maybe one or two but very few know 5 and none know 10 of them off the bat. This is very troubling because if we don’t know our values then we don’t have a framework in which we can design our lives. We don’t have a stable foundation. This podcast talks about this more in depth and why knowing your values is important for business and life.

Stop Selling Your Time For Money
As a Samoan we have inherited the beliefs and the values of our grandparents and parents. The problem is that the advice and the lessons that served them well back then do not really work today. They learnt to trade time for money and to work hard but actually nowadays with technology people only want the result and they want it now. They don’t care for it taking a long time. Also there was an emphasis put on hard work but today people just want the result in the easiest way possible. Don’t let ...

Why you need language in order to understand the culture
In the cultural wars of our time there is also the difference between those in the homeland and those in diaspora. One of the biggest differences is language and the use of language. Often it is viewed that those who cannot speak the language or cannot speak it well become second rate in their culture. Although on a biological level this is not exactly true. It does make sense on another level as language is the main lens which allows one to comprehend one’s culture. This is what we discuss in t...

Halfway Through Lockdown: Putting Yourself In Position To Win
We are at the halfway mark for this national lockdown here in NZ. If you’ve been taking it easy up to this point then it’s time to get up and get in position so that when everything opens up again, you’re ready for action and ready to win. The money is still out there... it didn’t just disappear off the earth. You just have to go find it and it’s probably hiding a little better but it’s there if you know how to access it.
