What Is The Hardest Part Of Leadership Right Now?
Leadership often looks glamorous from the outside. But the truth is that the real work is internal. - Holding responsibility. - Making hard decisions. - Carrying vision when others can't see it yet. - Being willing to go against the grain. - Navigating the fears, uncertainties and risks. - Feeling alone or lonely. I’m curious what you're navigating right now? What feels most challenging at your current level? • Building momentum • Sales consistency • Nervous system burnout • Visibility • Leading clients • Something else Share with us below 👇🏼 I'll jump in and give perspective where helpful 🤍

@Jena Wiebe I got a lot of mileage out of actually following the advice "Slow down to speed up." I made a conscious choice that a successful day would be any day in which I did ONE THING WELL. DO ONE THING WELL brought me a lot of peace. It gave me the space to sink into my tasks. It also offered a foundation for self-trust, that I know what doing something well is, and that I can find it without getting caught in the caustic web of perfectionism. None of this is to say that I *only* do one thing per day. It's that this specific framing gave me a platform on which to build a better mindset. When I went to be bed thinking only of all the things I *didn't* do, I was compounding a sense of failure. Now, I ask, "Did I do one thing well?" And when the answer is yes, I can start compounding a sense of success.

@Jena Wiebe The answer to your question about success is actually a little complicated: It's Yes, No, and Still a Work in Progress. YES: It's been a massive shift for my piece of mind. My old practice was to make a to-do list every day. Every day I told myself, "This is a reasonable list." Every day, I didn't get everything done. Every day I internalized a sense of failure. And then every morning I woke up highly anxious. Some mornings I woke up in a panic. I'll contrast that with last night and this morning. After having been quite sick this week, I went to bed last night with modest expectations of myself for today. I woke up at 5am feeling good. I lay in bed until ideas started to bubble up. I got up and wrote them down. Ideas built on ideas, and I finished the process with a better organization for next week's work. Then I took myself on a long walk. So even before 9am, I'd done a little work that I felt proud of and practiced good self-care. I built the foundation for a good day, and it has been a good day. NO: If your measure of success is financial, then no. As Samantha said in her recent post, entrepreneurship is hard. My business had not taken off before I made the switch to DO ONE THING WELL EVERY DAY. It still has not taken off. Would it have done so by now if I were still hammering away the way I was previously? Maybe. I decided to measure success by a different standard, and I'm pleased I did. I do not miss waking up in a panic. But I can't claim financial success yet. STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS: The foundation for the DO ONE THING WELL approach came from a conscious decision to try to break out of a linear approach to time and to see time as proceeding in cycles, making growth a cyclic or, to use Samantha's language, spiral thing. Time DOES cycle/spiral -- that's just true. But I can't claim that I've been fully successful in shifting my understanding of time away from linearity. There's a lot of years of habit there. When I think of a day in the future, I still mentally place it on the grid that is the calendar. I hope that with further practice, I'll be able to change this.

With everything happening in the Middle East, it looks like there most probably will be MASSIVE changes in the markets. If you are invested in the stock market, in crypto of heavy metals.. what's your game plan? Would love to hear what everyone is thinking/feeling/doing!

We've now had six days of markets since the start of the war. Against everyone's expectations, there was no initial move in the oil markets, which had certain prognosticators crowing. Then, of course, oil spiked, as you'd expect based on the actual material conditions affecting its price right now. Today, it was sharply down. What does that suggest to you? To me, it suggests that many people aren't thinking clearly. I use oil as just one example, but the same is true across all asset classes. We're seeing massive gyrations. Why? Are material conditions changing day by day? Or are people being freaked out and reactive? Here's what seems logical to me: unless this ends very soon, supply constraints in the oil market will necessarily push prices up. That's just supply and demand, Econ 101. Good for oil traders, really bad for consumers. There's not a lot of elasticity of demand around price for gasoline, at least in the US, so I'd expect a contraction in consumer spending in the US market if this war continues for long. Companies really reliant on that spending will suffer. My guess is these market gyrations will continue for a little while until it's clear whether or not this is a long-term conflict. If it is, I'd expect stocks to fall based on expectations of contracting consumer spending and gold to rise because it's seen as a safe haven. I have no idea about crypto. Crypto has always seemed to me to be tulips in the Netherlands in 1636, but boy a whole lot of money seems to disagree with me. These are my guesses, along with my reasoning. What do you think?

@Samantha Lotus I'm curious what leads you to think crypto will tank. I'm not challenging that view -- as I conceded previously, I don't understand the crypto market at all.
🤖💻The AI take over...
We know it's coming right? I was just watching the Davos AI summit talks... and we really need to talk about this. AI is transforming the world and it is going to make it radically different in the very near future. Not slowly. Not hypothetically. Rapidly.... Like MEGA MEGA rapidly. Here’s what most people are not fully grasping... We are not just automating tasks.We are automating cognition, COGNITION! 🤯 Writing. Coding. Design. Diagnosis.Customer service.Research.Analysis. Entire categories of intellectual labor are being compressed into seconds. And most labor jobs will be rapidly replaced as well. Even "top ones" This changes everything. When intelligence becomes scalable and near-instant: • The cost of execution collapses. • The barrier to entry drops. • The volume of content explodes. • The speed of business accelerates. • Mediocrity gets exposed fast. Do not be fooled, entire industries will restructure, education will shift and corporate hierarchies will flatten. It is going to look like total collapse for many people. The way that we create, consume, and trust information will evolve dramatically. And MOST people will get absolutely rocked. And here is the deeper layer (most importantly) When intelligence is abundant, judgment becomes scarce. When content is infinite, credibility becomes currency. When automation is everywhere, embodied leadership becomes premium. The future will not belong to people who can “do tasks.” The future will belong to people who can think strategically, decide clearly, and lead powerfully in complexity. ✍🏼 So how do you prepare (this is something I am hyper focused on)? 1. Build ownership, not dependence.Own your brand. Own your audience. Own assets that are not tied to one platform. 2. Master AI instead of fearing it. Learn how to use it to increase output, sharpen thinking, and systemize operations. 3. Develop anti-automation skills.Strategic reasoning. Discernment. Emotional regulation. Negotiation. Systems thinking. High-level synthesis. 4. Strengthen your body and nervous system.Acceleration punishes dysregulation. Clarity becomes a competitive edge, and YOU MUST take care of your physical vessel. 5. Build high-trust networks in a world flooded with synthetic media and infinite information, people will gravitate toward leaders they trust.

Once again, a post that feels like you're reading my mind. Not just the conclusions you reach, but the language you use to get there. I always appreciate when you add a lens into your own feelings and how they drive your thinking. The middle phrase of this sentence hums like a taut wire: "The biggest mistake right now is to panic, even though I sometimes do, I remind myself that urgency and panic are different, and so I lean into urgency instead."
So close to home 😔
Today my personal messages are flooding from my friends in Dubai, which is where I was living last year. Videos of missiles flying over their homes, photos of buildings on fire, urgent messages from the UAE government, seeing the smoke from the attack in the airport, hearing the panic and fear in my loved ones... And just imagining what everyone in the middle east is living. It's scary. It's a lot. This sick chess board we live on... it's a lot. We also just got news my husband is being sent into the region on mission, that's all I can say about that, but it's also horribly unsettling. But we are meant to just live our days, make breakfast, go to work, scroll social media... and just numb ourselves along. I just can't. I just can't do it. So here is how I get by: 1. I TRIPLE down on my nervous system - my health pratices are DIALED. This is NECESSARY. 2. I journal, pray & trust.. I give my faith to the higher unfolding and pray. 3. I do what I can - I double down on my work, my calling, my soul's mission and orient my mind, heart and soul towards being in service. 4. Surround myself with people who are walking a similar path & purpose. I do that SO imperfectly, I don't have fully dialed in systems, I don't have all the answers, but I don't need to. I know I have enough to make even a little impact, and I rely on what I do have and what I can control... it's either that or lose my mind, or numb myself stupid. I've done both of those things and they aren't the answer. When things feel super crazy, I go back to those 4 basics... and that is how I get by 🙏

Thank you for this post. I appreciate that you've taken these giant geopolitical happenings and spoken of their concrete impact in your life. I especially resonate with this paragraph: "I do that SO imperfectly, I don't have fully dialed in systems, I don't have all the answers, but I don't need to. I know I have enough to make even a little impact, and I rely on what I do have and what I can control... it's either that or lose my mind, or numb myself stupid. I've done both of those things and they aren't the answer." I feel your anguish as an echo of my own. I too do my best to take action in the areas where I have a little impact, rather than lose my own mind or succumb to numbness.
Contemplating spirals & the sacred #13
Life does not move in cycles, it moves in spirals. A circle repeats. A spiral returns, but never to the same place. It carries memory, growth, and evolution within each turn. What appears familiar is not repetition, it is progression at a deeper level. Nature reveals this pattern everywhere. DNA coils in a double helix. Storms, shells, vines, and even the unfolding of human awareness follow the same architecture. Return and transformation woven together. The lunar rhythm offers a clear window into this truth. A lunar month is approximately 29.5 days, moving from darkness to fullness and back again. On the surface, it looks cyclical. Yet no one exits a lunar passage unchanged. Biology shifts. Insight deepens. Identity refines. The same phase arrives, but the self who meets it has moved. This is spiral time. Across a year, there are thirteen lunar cycles. Thirteen gateways of renewal, release, and rebirth. Thirteen opportunities to shed, integrate, and re-emerge with greater coherence. In ancient systems, thirteen was never feared. It represented transformation, regeneration, and the living intelligence of rhythm itself. The spiral teaches a different relationship with life. Not force, but flow. Not repetition, but refinement. Not linear striving, but rhythmic becoming. You do not live the same month thirteen times. You ascend through thirteen spirals of becoming. Life is not a loop you are trapped inside. It is a living spiral, and you are always moving. Dont let the matrix hologram make you think otherwise.

@Sharon Prahl Wow, that's a beautiful description. I could *feel* it. The cold water of the Sound, the rhythm of the waves. I grew up in the desert Southwest, so ocean rhythms have only rarely been a part of my experience. You spoke of how your spiritual exercise aligns you with the divine. I was struck by the word "ethericly" among the ways you align. Would you say a little more about that part?

@Sharon Prahl That's fascinating. I'm quite intrigued by that chart. I'll need to read it a few more times before I can even ask an intelligent question.

I teach abundance as embodied practice. Abundance isn't something you HAVE. Abundance is something you DO. We start by learning how to breathe.
