What to make more videos? Write. Want to start a podcast? Write. What to make a course? Write. What to learn what you know? Write. I should also acknowledge I am very bad at consistently writing but am making an effort through 2021 to improve.

He had a great job marketing a wonder of the world. Then COVID snatched it away. How to bounce back? @RPMoran’s next life includes a #HamOnt watch company, and maybe even a camp for super heroes.
This is a story about @RPMoran's #reinvention, the power of #entrepreneurship and a belief that sometimes you just need to trust that things will work out. hangandbang.simplecast.com/e…

Currently one of my favourite #podcasts. Thought provoking, insightful and hilarious all wrapped up in one bundle of velvety voices.
The boys are joined by psychotherapist Lauren Van Impe in today's episode. Lauren gives us a quick breakdown of the differences between seeing a therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist and family doctor. Lauren helps us answer some listener questions! hangandbang.simplecast.com/e…

Share something that helps you avoid burnout and focus on yourself whether you're a startup founder, a funder, or just a hard-worker! Let's prioritize #mentalhealth and #cancelhustleculture in startups.
If you aren’t well (mentally or physically) your startup won’t be either. Let’s focus on ourselves first. #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek

There have been challenges in our 5 year @CoMotionSpaces journey, & 2020 is no exception. However, we know as entrepreneurs that things can always be worse, & we're committed to doing what we can to support #SmallBusiness & #entrepreneurs in #hamont who are seeing worse...
On top of our 5 years this month, we also recognize that 2020 has been a hard year for all of us, so we are extending some special offers to support those impacted, looking to rebuild businesses, or looking to start anew. See here for more info: comotiongroup.ca/blog/comoti… #HamOnt

The secret to winning is learning how to lose. That is, learning to bounce back from failure and disappointment—undeterred—and continuing to steadily march toward your potential. Your response to failure determines your capacity for success.

The person you marry is the person you fight with. The house you buy is the house you repair. The dream job you take is the job you stress over. Everything comes with an inherent sacrifice — whatever makes us feel good will also inevitably make us feel bad.

Speaking to the camera can be intimidating & HARD. You’re self-conscious & don’t want to do anything “wrong.” Completely normal. How do you improve? *Practice* Be on video more often: - Facebook/Insta stories - Respond to DMs with video - FaceTime friends Get your reps in.

How I started @AppSumo: 1) Cold emailed the founder of Imgur offering to get him customers 2) Ran ads on Reddit to promote the product 3) Sold more than 200 Imgur pro accounts... @AppSumo was born Takeaway: You need to make small, calculated bets on your ideas to validate them.

Black coffee is a synecdoche for life: when you eliminate excess—what remains is exponentially more delicious, enjoyable, and worthwhile.
