Personal Development

Especially When You’re Running a Business

If there’s something that business owners continuously tell me along with friends and family is that I’m one of the bubbliest characters that they know. I always seem to be happy and excited and have a go-getter attitude. That’s what we are going to be talking about today. How do you stay motivated in business? You can be in business for a few days, a few weeks, a few months, a few years, or even a few decades and eventually you feel like there is a bit of fizzle. This doesn’t just happen in business, it can happen in relationships, it can happen with friendships it can happen with anything. But what we need to talk about is how do you stay motivated.

Does Porn Rot Your Brain?

Does porn rot your brain? It’s an interesting question. We have been asked it, so we’re going to answer it. In my opinion, porn does rot your brain to an extent. If you look into anything, and look at anything too much, it’s not good, it’s not healthy and it gives unrealistic expectations.

Feeling Sadness Is Okay

Previously, we have blogged about sitting mentally well with yourself in business. You need to make sure that you’re pushing yourself in the right direction and doing what you can for your mind and mental state. So many business owners put themselves down. This happens to everyone in every aspect of life, but business owners are especially susceptible. As a business owner, you are organised. You have a list, and you try and get everything done on the list, and then try and help everyone out. A lot of the time, you try to help everyone, but your list is bigger than Ben-Hur. You’re trying to build Rome in an hour. Rome wasn’t built in an hour. It wasn’t built in a day.

Your Body Is Your Instrument

Anyone that knows me or has known me for a while knows that health is incredibly important to me. The most important thing that we have is our health and then family, friends, and your other interests, but our health is the most important thing. You need to keep yourself in tip-top condition and you can do anything. People look at me and they say, “how do you have enough time to do all the things that you do? You’re running multiple companies, you’ve got podcasts, YouTube, blogs, Facebook posts, Twitter posts, LinkedIn, you’re writing a book, all these things that are happening.” That is fair, it does sound like a lot of things, but it’s because the finely tuned machine that is my body is finely tuned.

I Would Like to See What You Guys Think

Do you think Elon Musk is a maker or a taker? Do you think Bill Gates is a maker or a taker? And do you think Steve Jobs was a maker or a taker?

Today, we’re going to talk about social pressures, conformity, and the “last biscuit” controversy. So, what that is, at dinners and all around the place, is this last piece of cheese or this last piece of pizza, and everyone’s eating it the same way, and all of a sudden it goes whoop, and they don’t have the last piece of whatever it is.

Today we’re going to talk about mental health. In business, a lot of the time you jump into business to be the go-getter person that really made a difference. You made this cool product because you’re great at the technical stuff but you’re terrible at marketing, or you’re great at marketing but you don’t really have a product. A lot of the time, there isn’t a good balance between what it is that you do with your voodoo.

Burnout is a very serious matter for a lot of business owners. People get into business to get out of a nine to five, but a lot of the time, what happens is they find that instead of working a nine to five, they’re working a 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, a five to nine. They don’t get to see their family as much. They don’t get to spend as much time at the things they were doing before, but as long as you’re passionate about what you’re doing, you continue to tell yourself that this isn’t work, this is fun. That’s perfectly fine, but everyone knows that you can’t have the good days without the bad days.

How to Get the Most Out of Fitness Trackers 

When I became single, I decided it was time to get fit. Being the geek that I am, I had to get some sort of gadget to help. So, I bought one of those fitness bands, you know, the ones that count your steps. At the end of the first day, I’d run off my feet at work, but I still only managed to get to 3000 steps. Which is much better than the thousand that I would normally get if I was just sitting at the computer, but either way, it didn’t seem like a whole lot to me.

How Can We Embrace Vegetarianism? 

A few short years ago, I weighed 38 kilos more than I weigh now. I started researching a lot to try and work out how to lose that weight. First off, I started exercising more, drinking more water and analysing the quality of my sleep. I went into a lot of detail looking at my health, what I’m putting into my body and what I’m expecting to get out of my body. The things that I found were very interesting.
