The Obstacle Is The Way

The clever folk at Tabcorp, for whom I gave a recent keynote, grabbed me afterwards to capture a few more gems from ‘The Way of the Spiritual Entrepreneur’ – The Obstacle is the Way.

What obstacle are you facing in business and in life at the moment?

Are you asking ‘Why Me?” or are you asking, “Why not Me?”

Are you playing ‘victim’ or are you playing ‘optimist’ and ‘possibilitarian’?

What lens are you seeing life through?

What is your strategy?

Perhaps a powerful reframe is in order.

Challenges are not a sign of weakness, but of strength.

Evidence that a sleeping giant is about to awaken.

The Obstacle is the Way.
