Hello again dear reader, I’ve been out of the Entrepreneurs Journey loop for a few weeks now and would you believe, it doesn’t matter at all!
Yaro posted a great article on the exact topic I was contemplating for my next article as I sat in silent meditation for 10 days… I wasn’t supposed to be thinking about my … Read the rest of this entry »
“Be The Best – At Everything You Do”
Every single time I’ve said this to someone, they come back with an argument:
“But how can I be the best in the world at everything? Or even anything?”
I then explain and clarify:
“I never said ‘best in the world’. I only said ‘be the best’.“
So, what’s the … Read the rest of this entry »
“Every dream will be challenged!”
These powerful words from a mentor of mine have been burned in fire into my memory. Rarely, a dream or goal comes true easily and effortlessly, without delays, problems or hurdles. It is far more common, however, that you have to overcome many obstacles and suffer some pain before achieving any meaningful target.
I’m not going to lie – living the freelance life is pretty awesome.
I make my own schedule, work where I want, and can make things like exercising, spending time with my family, and meditation a part of my daily life without issue (all things that I struggled with while commuting two hours a day to a 9-5!).
We’re on the home stretch now to complete this series on Positive Change. If you’ve followed along with me as I’ve explained my journey to explore and master this aspect of my life, I am confident that what I’ve written resonates with you on some level.
Even if you haven’t always agreed with my opinions, ideas and conclusions, … Read the rest of this entry »
I’m sitting at a Max Brenner “chocolate by the bald man” shop, slurping a dark chocolate iced frappe in Melbourne as I type this on my macbook air.
This is the first chance I’ve had to get some laptop time in the past three days because I’ve attended a wedding of a high-school friend. What made the … Read the rest of this entry »
This is part one of a series on how to create positive change in your life based on what has worked for me, what hasn’t, and what I’m currently learning. Rather than write one of my usual 4000+ word monster articles I’m breaking it down for you into more manageable chunks.
This is going to be a very important … Read the rest of this entry »
Reflections On My 30th Birthday
As I type this I just turned 30 years old and if you’re reading this and it’s still Sunday July 19 where you are, make sure you wish me a happy birthday .
I had a conversation leading up to my 30th birthday with a fellow 29 year old who was heading towards her … Read the rest of this entry »
Everyone is a procrastinator on some level. Some of us are terrible offenders, spending hours doing useless things like browsing facebook or blogs or walking up to see what is in the fridge multiple times a day, all in an effort to avoid the work we know we should be doing.
Over the past few weeks I implemented a … Read the rest of this entry »
The most common and powerful advice dished out by every expert on this planet is one word: Action.
At the heart of almost all business and personal development education is the concept that in order to realize a goal you have to do something – sometimes anything will do – to get a result.
It may seem obvious, … Read the rest of this entry »
I know I said there would be no more self development articles on Entrepreneur’s Journey, but what I meant to say there would be no more by me! Matt kindly contributed this great article on self development and I wanted to publish it here since my personal development blog won’t be launching for a while. Enjoy! – Yaro

Continuing from the article – It’s Time To Reduce Your Stress – I’ve produced a series of practical tips for you to reduce your stress. I intended to include these in the original article about stress but they didn’t fit with the flow and made an already large article even longer. If you haven’t read the previous article I … Read the rest of this entry »
I was sitting at the bus stop the other day. It was a Friday. I had spent the day leisurely – some work in the morning, then off to the city after lunch for some writing on my laptop at an Aroma’s cafe for a couple of hours. I had plans for a game of tennis with my friend … Read the rest of this entry »

I just stumbled across a fantastic article by Pamela Slim on her blog, Escape from Cubicle Nation, titled – The sweet spot of your work. She must be loving the attention and the traffic because Guy Kawasaki also sent her some link loving.
The sweet spot as Pamela describes it is:

Steve is a self development expert who largely has risen to fame through blogging (his blog is at StevePavlina.com/blog/). Personally I am big believer … Read the rest of this entry »
I mention the 80/20 rule frequently in my writings so I thought it was about time to write a proper introduction to the concept. I believe it’s fundamental to every business person – to every human being – so if you have never heard of this rule, please read on and absorb everything I’m about to tell you, it … Read the rest of this entry »
