Reflecting in Indonesia: 5 business lessons from the last 5 months

Reflecting in Indonesia: 5 business lessons from the last 5 months

So I’m sitting here at a surf camp in the middle of the jungle in Java. My arms are aching from this morning’s surf, my belly is full of the banana pancakes I had at breakfast and I’m hanging out with a super nice bunch of surfers from all over the planet.

In short, life is pretty damned good right now. Days like these make me wanna press pause. Because seriously? This is as good as it gets.

The tide is too low to surf right now so we’re all kicking back and soaking this awesomeness in.

Seven steps to better systems

You see, there’s a whole bunch of stuff that you’re probably doing in your business, day to day, that really doesn’t fit into your ‘core genius’ category. It’s just the stuff that has to get done in order to keep your business moving in the right direction. It’s the kinda stuff that you wish you could ship out to a VA or an intern. These are the tasks that crop up on your to-do list every single freaking week.

Three lessons from the Surf + Social Good Summit

Three lessons from the Surf + Social Good Summit

It’s been a week now since I left Bali for Australia, but my head is still spinning a little from the experience at the Surf + Social Good Summit (in a good way !).

I started writing this post a few times over the last few days, but somehow the words wouldn’t flow, or I’d have too many different things to say and not enough time to say them. So I figured I needed to let the dust settle.

I need to remind myself that sometimes, good ideas need a little time to grow & evolve.

But there are, however, a few things I that feel pretty certain about. Three lessons, in fact, that showed up for me in Bali, that I think might be worth sharing.
