The Minimalist CEO

Here are 10 'not fancy' life changing rules that will move you forward... Want fancy, maybe stop doing that and get to it.


1. Plan your day, your rituals and write out your goals

2. Have a capture list because there's always more to do than you will and without it distraction and task switching will kill your day and quality of life - you need to notice what's now and what's clutter, block that other stuff for today

3. Appreciate this moment - deeply and with smiles

4. Watch your attention, focus and thoughts, these are what create your life

5. How I'm feeling matters - not what I am panicked or trying to achieve, that's not what matters

6. Make a plan (like really write it down... slow down and do this) and stick to it. You decided that this was the best next thing, so stick with that - don't "gonna" it to death… just buckled down and get some good work done. Focus feels good.

7. Track what matters, like score if you followed your plan

8. Create consistent communication with those you're helping/serving. Personal and professional relationships need to know where you are… give them some positive anticipation and then, show up. Do this well.

9. When meeting with others, be curious and chill, allow them to reveal where they need help or what they're looking for. Just be creatively present, because every human is worried about stuff and it's loving and helpful to make them first. Also, it's hugely challenging, because we all see the world from our heads…

10. Bring your juice to the simple skills and work you're mastering - the rest isn't all that important and if you get distracted, you won't even win well in one area. Also, fire yourself from all the other stuff. It's not for you. And, it's like suckers on a fruit tree... want fruit... CUT the suckers.

The Minimalist CEO Right now is great and it's just right - with all the ingredients to take off and win like never before! Appreciate that and you... and your desire to do even more for others and yourself. That's a good thing!
