It didn’t make sense at the time

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Some of the most aligned moves I’ve made in business didn’t start with strategy. They started with a quiet nudge. A “what if…”

A rabbit hole I followed. A detour I almost dismissed. A gut pull I couldn’t quite explain.

It didn’t always make sense at the time. But it always led somewhere meaningful.

Sometimes, to a new offer.

Sometimes, to a client I wasn’t expecting.

Sometimes, to an internal shift I didn’t even know I needed.

Curiosity isn’t a distraction.

It’s how sovereignty whispers.

I think there’s a myth that strategic business building has to be linear.

But I’ve found that clarity often comes from the thing you almost ignored.

And resonance often lives in what you’re drawn to explore, even if it doesn’t fit neatly into a funnel.

So if something’s calling to you quietly… follow it.

It might be the most strategic thing you do.

To success, on your terms

You don’t need another hack. You need this.

Most of us don’t fail because we’re not trying hard enough.We fail because we’re trying in too many directions at once. We jump on the latest tool, the new platform, the viral format, hoping it’ll be the thing that finally sticks.We call it growth. But a lot of the time, it’s just motion. And here’s the quiet truth:Growth without coherence isn’t progress. It’s acceleration toward chaos. You can’t scale what isn’t clear.You can’t automate a mess.And you can’t build something meaningful if...

"I'm a consultant" (and other soul-crushing ways to introduce yourself)

Newsletter Email: Value Translation Framework You know that moment when someone asks what you do and you hear yourself say "I'm a consultant" or "I'm a photographer" – and something inside you dies a little? The words feel like sawdust in your mouth. You watch their eyes glaze over with that polite-but-distant smile that screams 'next conversation, please'. Meanwhile, you're screaming internally: But I just spent three years helping a struggling tech startup completely restructure their...

The moment clarity caught up with me

I’d been wrestling with a decision for days. You know the kind, where you think you’ve made it, then second-guess it half an hour later. I’d turned it over in my head in every direction. It was still unclear. Then I took Midge for a walk. No earbuds. No agenda. Just sky, the breeze, and soft rhythm of paws on grass. And somewhere around the field, the answer came to me. Simple. Clear. Settled. Not because I tried harder. But because I stopped trying at all. That walk reminded me (again) that...
