Why Money Is Not the Problem - Distraction Is Excellent session today! Explored money and finances at large through Rueben's excellent book - Wealth Creation Mindset and Leadership. Here are the slides to help guide you on awareness about money!

In our Wednesday workshop, members uncovered: • the decisions they’ve been postponing • the patterns quietly holding them back • where they are living out of alignment with their real goals • and the next courageous step their future requires Purpose is not found through random inspiration. It is uncovered through deliberate, structured self-inquiry. I’m sharing this exercise with you here so you can experience the same process. Give it the time it deserves. Your direction in life is worth more than a rushed 10-minute attempt. 😊

Join us this Wednesday, 8pm AEDT (Melbourne Timezone), and let's sort out and map out the money issue for this month and season. This Wednesday - Inner Circle Members chat about how to make money without letting it be a distraction. You can invite a friend to join us and learn from this online training session.

Most companies think motivation comes from hope. From giving speeches. From painting big dreams. From saying “we’ll get there together.” It doesn’t. Hope is cheap. Clarity is expensive. I learned this the hard way. Back in 2020, our revenue had dropped to $11M from $44M. Morale was shaky. People were nervous. And I remember walking into a Zoom call with my team… One of them asked, “So… what’s the plan for bonuses this year?” I gave a safe answer. “We’ll see how Q4 goes.” It wasn’t a lie but it wasn’t leadership either. I thought I was buying time. But what I really bought was doubt. Because that answer didn’t motivate. It confused. I’ve seen this play out again and again. Talented people running hard… Taking on more… Overdelivering quietly… Only to be told, “Let’s review this again next quarter.” Or worse...to be told nothing at all. Not because they’re lazy. But because the goalposts kept moving. That’s not motivation. That’s quiet exhaustion. Unclear rewards don’t create loyalty. They create anxiety. People start guessing what matters. They start “performing” instead of building. Optimising for praise instead of impact. And eventually, they stop trusting the game entirely. They check out. Or they leave. That’s on us. Strong leaders don’t dangle carrots. They draw maps. They say: ✅ Here’s what good looks like ✅ Here’s how we measure it ✅ Here’s when we review it ✅ Here’s what growth leads to No politics. No fuzzy KPIs. Just a clear path with real steps. Not promises. Processes. Because clarity doesn’t just motivate. It respects. And I’ll be honest: the year we rebuilt Truegenics back to profitability, the biggest shift wasn’t in our marketing. It was in our expectations. We were clear on our expectations. We made rewards visible. We showed the ladder and let people climb it. And the team? They didn’t need pep talks. They needed direction. Here's the big question...Are your people running because they’re truly motivated…or because they’re chasing a carrot that never stops moving?

Stop being the hero. You might think, "it'll be faster if I just do it myself." And it is faster. In the short term. But…. Every time you do something your team can do, you're stealing two things: → Their chance to grow → Your chance to focus on what actually matters Protect the work only you can do. Source: FB
