“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi
In this episode I bring back Rossco Paddison who is the founder of Gather Change. He discusses how we can use Crowdfunding to discover and further define our personal why.
I will be working on a project of my own this year with the goal to compliment a book I am writing, to inspire others to discover and live aligned with their why and to help support those that don’t have the resources and opportunities that I am blessed to have.

Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One

You might feel that your skills and talents are being wasted. It might be that you just don’t feel you are living the life you truly desire.
For whatever number of reasons, the facts indicate that many of us, up to and over 80 percent of us, are dissatisfied with our work.

What Are Your Daily Non Negotiable’s?
What makes you effective in life? What will take you to the next level? What will allow you to progress towards your highest potential?
In answer to this question you might say that it is your beliefs and behaviours. Who you are today is an accumulation of past. Who you are tomorrow will be decided on what you think and do next.
Effectiveness in reaching your life’s biggest dreams comes by doing those things every day that are critically important. These are your daily non-negotiables. For each of us some will be the same and some different.
