Preparation WITH Action
If you can’t see the above video, click here, or watch it directly on YouTube. I had a phone call a while ago with someone who basically wasn’t doing any action because they were in preparation. Whilst I say myself that if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail, I believe there is a [...]
Another look at Scattering Seeds
If you can’t see the above video, click here, or watch it directly on YouTube. This is a quick clip of me on Tuesday 15th June in Helsinki, chatting about how Like Minds Conversation Helsinki came together.
