Just a few tips off the top of my head on this fine Tuesday ☺️ #digitalmarketingtips

Lady Gaga was dropped from her first record label. Stephen King received 60 rejection letters before publishing his first short story. Oprah Winfrey was told she was unfit for television news. But today’s blog isn’t about any of those people. It’s about Cookie the Pug. Outwardly, there’s nothing overtly exceptional about Cookie (other than being a darn cute dog). The thing that’s notable – exceptional even – about Cookie the Pug is that she loves agility training. That’s right, with those short-as-ever legs and that stout little body, she loves to do all the things agility training requires: running up and down planks, dashing left and right between poles, and everything in between. So what’s the lesson here? Lady Gaga, I’ve been told by a friend who is her saxophonist, holds a singular focus for making her visions realities – so it’s no wonder getting dropped from her first record label didn’t deter her in the slightest. Stephen King loved to write and was determined to make it as a writer, even after 60+ rejection letters. Oprah Winfrey has overcome numerous incredible obstacles to get where she is today. Yes, being born into cushy circumstances can of course make things easier – but it’s not our circumstances that ultimately decide whether or not we succeed. In the end, it’s all about desire, determination, and sheer will. So if you want to be a pianist, don’t worry about your short stubby fingers. If you want to be a basketball player, don’t worry about your lack of height. If you want to be a business owner, don’t worry about your lack of organization. Just remember Cookie the Pug. And go after whatever it is you love to do. #determination #cookiethepug #agilitydog #ellanyze

A quick reminder to set your clocks ahead one hour tonight!

How do you know if you're not being authentic to yourself? Pay attention to how preoccupied you are with competing against others. That's a sign you're brewing the wrong potion – the "comparison concoction." A recipe guaranteed to taste like disappointment. Competitiveness becomes more apparent when you try to mimic someone else, becoming a clone of sorts. Imagine if you could sneak into Hogwarts, swipe a wand from the Room of Requirement, and cast a spell to become the best version of someone else. Sounds cool, right? Wrong. It's like getting a high score in a game you don’t even like playing. You're one-of-a-kind, like a three-headed dog guarding the secret passage. Let’s leave the shadow clone jutsu to Naruto, bro. Forget the competition. Instead, you list out those deep stuffs that make your heart sing - not of groceries, but what sets your soul on fire. Get up and make it happen, one by one. Be the best at what you do by being you, unapologetically. Add a little bit of depth with your authentic tones and make this Holi more vibrant than ever before. Happy #Holi! PS. See the contrast between me and the clones (mannequins). #ratrace #competition #beingyou

This is a repeat of Listener Favourite: Fridges with ice makers Bringing you another Listener Favourite this week - Fridges with ice makers! When you were a kid, do you remember visiting friends’ fancy houses and comparing them to your own? For Dallas, the epitome of a fancy house was one that had an ice maker. If one of his friends had a house that featured one of these, in his eyes, they had really “made it” in life. As an adult, Dallas is now contemplating becoming one of these people. Yes, he wants a fridge with an ice maker, because – well, they’re pretty cool. So should he spend the money on it, and when? And is it really worthwhile? This episode is not about fancy fridges or rich friends – it’s about making thoughtful financial decisions. Dallas and Michael discuss what and when to spend your money on (and when to hold onto it, instead). Spoiler alert: when it comes to your money, financial advisers are not always as frugal as you may think! For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
