Stop Stuffing Yourself…and Your Life/Work!
Reading Time: 2 minutesI was a pretty skinny kid. Then, at 8, I started putting on weight.
By 10, I was so chubby I needed to shop in a special girls’ clothes department.
My memoir (YOUR NERVE), combined with the holiday season (and the overflowing stores and the feasting/spending this season, got me thinking about STUFFING.
Not just the Thanksgiving kind with cornbread and sausage (or whatever else people have thrown in over the years). It’s what you actually DO with that carb-y concoction and how that relates to life and business.
And yes, I know green beans were last week’s theme, so I’m clearly in a food phase.
That’s ironic, because thanks to the miracles of GLP-1 combined with clean eating and exercise, I’m now 15 pounds lighter than I was in sixth grade, when I was two inches shorter.
Enough about my childhood trauma and health journey! Let’s deal with the main course…
- Why do things in work and life sometimes get too bloated?
- What’s the right balance between quantity and quality?
- Is something bigger always better in business? How can AI help your business operate leaner and more efficiently?
- How thin (bodies AND profit margins) is TOO thin?
- Is the number of digital fans ever as important as the kind of people you have sitting around your “feast table?”
I don’t have the answers for you…just what I know to be true in my own life.
Whenever I get asked, “How many TikTok followers do you have?” I just have to smile. (The answer is zero, but my LinkedIn base is 23K and valued at $800M, and I have some true long-term friends in real life.)
It doesn’t matter how big the turkey is if the stuffing is rancid and the bird is dry!
What has gotten bigger (and smaller) over the past 70 years that I’ve been on earth? Here’s a baker’s dozen of facts!
