Self-help is sometimes the opposite. It can end up increasing your task list with a bunch of unrealistic expectations you never achieve.
Today’s conversation is about navigation, not directions.
We explore the quiet difference between a compass you trust and a checklist someone sells. Passport stamps matter less than the personality you bring to the journey; so does the company you invite to walk beside you.
We trade a stack of generic self-help books for three simple ideas you can put on a sticky note.
The answer might not even be faster growth but perhaps wiser detours and a network that grows because we grow.
- Work out if a new habit is worthwhile or if you should be doing less
- Build a personal compass based on your own interests
- Show up as the person you are
