the myth of the great idea

Mike Budny — Mon, 07 May 2012 21:13:30 +0000

I grew up believing that there are million dollar ideas. If I could just think of one and be there first that I could be living the good life! I thought that ideas were worth something. Of course we’re taught that …

implement now

The biggest excuse I believe we commonly gift ourselves is in not implementing immediately because a variable isn’t perfect or “ready”. There are several paths to get to a finished product and overemphasis on quality (while important) usually deters most from …

you will get knocked down

No problem. You’re going to eat shit. That’s fine. It’s going to affect you. Ok. No one is immune to this. We all feel and experience it. Lets talk about a few things NOT to do when this happens… 1. …

you’ll never know

You don’t know someone else’s story, what they had to go through to get to where they are. You never will. They’ll probably forget or leave out that day they almost quit and walked away from their dreams. Or the …

you’re a badass

You have the sensibility and taste to create the “right” decisions. Stop second guessing yourself or seeking permission from others about what you know and feel is needed. Forget trying to please everyone, focus on what you feel is the …

your priority and a price

We all say things we want or would like. How about… I want to get healthy! OR I want to make more money! (most things seem to be covered in these two umbrellas) We tell others that we want these …

talent’s overrated

Mike Budny — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:37:05 +0000

Talent is something that comes natural. Most people think they need to be “talented” to embark on their grand journey… or they don’t embark. The myth here is simple. Talent attracts success. Not true. If anything, most people squander their …

your path and some secret sauce

Ira Glass tells it his way. (And for my money this is as beautiful an articulation as any I’ve heard) People are going to sell you on their way or the best route to achieving success in your business endeavor. …

feelings and overwhelm

Mike Budny — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:39:10 +0000

We’ve all let overwhelm creep in and try to steal the show. Some times things just feel too heavy, exhaustion is winning and maybe it’s time to stop trying to win. I certainly feel this from time to time. I …

clean slate

Every day you have a clean slate. You wake up and you decide who you’re going to be today, what action you’re going to take, and how others get to treat you. Isn’t that freaking awesome?! No matter what you …
