Ask yourself

Follow 8+8+8 for a stress-free life

8+8+8: when your work fits your talent, 8 hours of work makes you wealthy, 8 hours with family keeps you happy and 8 hours of sleep keeps you healthy. When it doesn't, work stretches to 12 hours and life tips over.

8 hours of work that fits your talent makes you wealthy, 8 hours with family and yourself keeps you happy, and 8 hours of sleep keeps you healthy. When work doesn't fit, it stretches to 12 hours and takes time from the other two.

Find your true alignment

Find your true alignment: a fish asked to climb a tree versus a fish in its water. External motivation becomes internal motivation, comparison becomes self-actualisation, friction becomes flow, and depletion becomes renewal.

Find your true alignment

The problem isn’t effort. It’s the fit.

Is the stressed path the one we are preparing our children for?

  • External motivation (for the paycheck) to Internal motivation (it is my nature)
  • Comparison (am I better than them?) to Self-actualisation (am I fulfilling my potential?)
  • Friction (fighting your weaknesses) to Flow (using inborn strengths)
  • Depletion (drained) to Renewal (energy comes back)

Born with it. Rarely noticed.

Everyone has at least one talent they use without effort. Because it feels easy, they never notice it until someone points it out.

Every talent has a field to study and a career or business to build on it. Nurtured, it grows fast with little effort, far less than fighting a weakness.

Someone may notice it, but it needs to be confirmed before you build on it. That is what we do.
