This episode will make you re-think your belief about being a 'Jack of all trades and master of none'. The Swiss army knife is the ultimate Jack Of All Trades. Same with department stores! Leonardo Da Vinci made being a Renaissance Man almost a higher calling, so why do we give so much advice about niching and being a specialist? It suits some people, but not all. This chat will make you think twice. For more details, go to merilyn.com SHARE THIS EPISODE: Know someone who would like to hear this...

Economists are describing this year as the The Great Reset and the New Normal. And I believe it’s a great reset in many ways - we don’t want to go back to how we worked. We want to lead our time differently. So as we are approaching my first online weekend retreat version of The Productivity cure... I thought I’d do an encore version of some of the most popular episodes I’ve done related to productivity. This particular episode is about making rest and play an important part of our work and busi...

Following on from yesterday's episode, I'm chatting about three areas or trends that are being reset in The Great Reset of 2020: Why 'I am allowed' is the new 'I am enough' New Leadership isn't about superior positioning or 'a higher conversation'.

I have to admit I’ve been pretty chilled the last couple of months. My body is refusing to work the way I’ve done for years. And The Great Reset of 2020 is becoming a very personal great reset. I am, or were, very driven. Back in January I even set an ambitious task of doing a daily podcast. But I’ve slowed down. And it feels great. But it took a few weeks to process a bit of guilt and self judgement. A few weeks of RESETTING. Oh, don’t get me wrong, my core personality is still there. My core d...

How do you get to six figures with your business? It's the same thing that worked 30 years ago. When someone starts out in business, often their first income milestone is 'six figures'.
