What I'm working on this year😳
This year, I want to be far more deliberate about practicing what I teach. A lot of people teach from a distance. They explain what works, analyse why things fail, and stay safely upstream from the mess of actually building. I want my thinking to be shaped by doing the thing itself, not just talking about it. So I’m keeping my focus intentionally narrow. I’m committing to two funnels for the year. That's it. The first is my book funnel. It’s already live and it’s how most people discover my work. The second is a webinar funnel. It’s been one of the most reliable ways to move someone from interest to understanding for a long time now. 2 of the most proven funnels of all time. That makes them an honest place to learn. I’m deliberately choosing simplicity over sophistication. Fewer moving parts and fewer distractions. Everything I share this year will be informed by what I’m seeing and learning firsthand. What holds up and what breaks. What feels obvious in hindsight but wasn’t obvious going in. That’s the commitment I’m making this year. What are you choosing to go deep on this year?

Love to see 'product in action' with you in the arena with us rather than the folks who say "Here is what I did 100 years ago and it will certainly work for you too!" 🤣 I think Ben Franklin said it best "Well done is better than well said" In terms of what I going deep on this year? My personal KPI is really simple (and very effective). I aim to have at least 1 meaningful conversation everyday (Mon - Fri) with a person that fits the following criteria; 1. Someone who could potentially use my assistance / guidance 2. Someone who has someone in their 'world' that should know about me and what I do 3. Someone I can learn some new insight or 'map of reality' from that gives me new insights and learnings. So to aid all of this my intention is to go deeper on collaborating with others to help them provide their clients an even great result. Trialled this successfully last year (2025) and this year I will be building more of these collabs.

@Joshua Whitlock I have found from my experience that many people from business owners all the way through to C Suite and Board members tend to confuse KPIs and KRA / KRIs. The best way I like to illustrate this is the following; KPI's are the Levers (often pulled daily) KRA / KRI's are the Dials (read monthly or quarterly) KPI = What you do - Activity- and behaviour-based - Primarily leading indicators - Within the direct control of the person or team - Predictive of outcomes if done well and consistently So in my case my ONLY KPI is, how many conversations I have each day. Everything else predictably flows from those chats e.g. We book a time for an 'Alignment Conversation' where if it makes sense the prospects ask me how we can work together etc. In other words an easy way to define a KPI is 'Are we performing the actions that should create the result?' I have two KRIs for my practice. 1. The lifetime value of my clients. 2. How many clients got the result that we agreed we were aiming for (this one actually affects the other because when clients get meaningful results they stay longer šŸ˜Ž). So the two KRA's that they apply to are 'Revenue' and 'Transformation' Good way to define a KRA / KRI is 'Did the performance (KPI) produce the intended result?' KPIs are the behaviours you commit to. KRAs are the consequences of those behaviours Sorry it was a long winded answer to your question but this comes up a lot when I am involved in exec coaching. Like you, I practice what I preach! P.S. Enjoying the discussion.

Greetings from Sydney Australia folks! Yep, I am in the future for most of you (It's 3hrs away from 2026 as I write this) Oh yes please don't ask me for the winning Powerball numbers because it's against the rules for me to tell you and it' just get's a bit awkward. 🤣 Who am I? Well one of my client's described me this way when she was introducing me to a group of business owners so what better way to describe myself than how a long term client described me in her words. So... "I'm the guy established business owners call when they need a creative solution to an impossible situation." They also call me when; They are looking to exit their business in the next 3-5 years or they want to get to the root cause of why their business is not working the way they would like it too. From my experience all 3 of the above things are usually intertwined. I practice the craft of 'Business Success Acceleration' which means I do whatever is necessary to help / guide my clients to their desired result. Sometimes it's coaching, sometimes it's advising, sometimes it's consulting, sometimes it's collaborating with an expert and bringing them in. My perfect client? The one who get's their desired result from working with me. My bigger vision? To raise the standard of coaching / advising worldwide. I also have two person objectives. 1. To learn something new everyday (been doing this since i was 5). 2. To make at least 5 people smile everyday. Since setting this objective I have brought over 60,000 smiles into the world. In fact it is double that because I was smiling too! I am already satisfying the first item by being in this group and hopefully some of you may be contributing to item number 2 when reading this intro. Looking forward to interacting with you all.

@Joshua Whitlock great to be here.
Who actually decides value, the seller or the buyer?šŸ¤”
Value is not something you can assign unilaterally. You can explain. You can position. You can package. You can price. But value is only ever confirmed by the person who chooses to exchange for it. This is where a lot of confusion shows up. People assume that if they lower the price, they are making something more valuable to more people. However, lower prices reduce commitment, and commitment is what turns information into outcomes. Price is not the same thing as worth. Price is a signal. It communicates who something is for, how it should be approached, and how seriously it should be taken. In most cases, people use price to orient themselves before they ever engage with the content. Buyers decide value through action, not agreement. If someone pays and applies, value is created. If someone pays and disengages, value collapses regardless of how good the material is. This is why value cannot be imposed. It has to be recognised. It only emerges when the buyer meets the offer with attention, responsibility, and effort. Sellers often carry unnecessary guilt here. They feel responsible for whether someone extracts value. In reality, the seller can create conditions, but the buyer completes the equation. When you understand this, pricing becomes clearer. You stop trying to convince. You stop trying to rescue. You focus on clarity, standards, and alignment. Value is not something you give. It is something that happens when the right person engages in the right way. Take one and answer honestly: - Where have you seen value collapse because of disengagement rather than poor quality? - Have you ever paid more for something and taken it more seriously? What changed? - Where might you be carrying responsibility for outcomes that are not actually yours? - What does your current pricing signal about commitment and expectations? - If buyers ultimately decide value, how does that change the way you think about selling? No right answers here. Drop your thoughts belowā¬‡ļø

We can never 'give' value we can only receive it. A Ferrari is only valuable to the person who purchases it. when I believe I I will realise more value from a purchase / investment than the money in my pocket (or what else I could spend that money on), I will make the purchase. This is why I always chuckle at the 'internet gurus' who teach you to include a 'value ladder' in all your offerings. "That's a total value of $56,000 but today it's $997!" 🤣 Here is my experience. "In the absence of value people will default to price" As an advisor I know I have NO intrinsic value, the value is created in the interaction with my clients. Like bringing two electrodes together, they cause a spark (value), move them apart again no spark. So my answer to the question is the buyers decides the value.

Most businesses are half the size they could be with the owner working twice as much as they should be. I help you fix this.
