Greetings from Driebergen, How about that intro on my bike? #pushingthelimits Complete with busted up finger! It’s gong to heal but it’s going to take … wait for it … tiny, daily healing. I talk with Nicoline Huizinga this week and we talk about growing your daily muscles. Flex! Enjoy!? Bradley P.S. More about Nicoline at https://nicolinehuizinga.com [ https://youtu.be/vwaOLjWGWJQ ]

Greetings from Driebergen, I know, dear Thursday Thunder subscribers, it’s Friday. That means it’s no longer Thursday. Yesterday I invited you to talk about Frequency. You answered. Babs Paz and I hopped on Zoom and talked through: FrequencyIntermittent Fasting daily (and also a bit about 3-day fasts and even a 5-day fast)More energy with less eatingResonating with people, ideas, and finding your Frequency Friends (and Family)Creating (YouTube) videos every single day Do you have experience with frequency? Flow? Intervals? How often you do something (and why)? Let’s hop on Zoom to talk about it. Thanks for reading on a Friday! I just had to share my enthusiasm as Babs reacted so quickly, we hopped on Zoom, recorded, and boom, it’s live. That’s creating. That’s flow. That’s frequency. Keep creating, Bradley Mentioned in this episode: CREATE: https://books2read.com/create DECIDE: https://books2read.com/decide Every Single Day: https://books2read.com/everysingleday/ Easiest (Worst) Book Ever: https://go.repossible.com/barbara [ https://youtu.be/NCluNw_a0Uc ]

Greetings from Driebergen, What’s your frequency? How often do you do what–and why? Want to talk about it? Join me as a guest on the Repossible Podcast. Click below and we’ll set up a time on Zoom. Keep creating, Bradley Best a Guest on the Podcast. [ https://youtu.be/EfQgrVldIOs ]

Greetings from Driebergen, Are you ever inspired by someone else’s performance that you want to do it, too? That’s what happened this past Sunday at Utrecht’s “De Parade.” Here’s a preview of what could be to come. Enjoy. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/78gYJrhMkuk ]

Greetings from the city hall in Doorn, I’m working on my upcoming book, Frequency, and there’s a section called “Every Single Lifetime.” Yep, I wrote a book called “Every Single Day” about how daily habits can lead to huge change. But what about weekly habits? Monthly? Annually? What about stuff that doesn’t happen all the time but once in a lifetime? That’s what happened today. But you have to work towards it … often monthly, maybe annually, even weekly. But you have to start somewhere. Keep creating. Bradley P.S. Frequency book will be up for pre-order here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod… [ https://youtu.be/ztegyT1faLA ]

Greetings from Pompei, Italy, Wow, I’ve seen ruins and usually they’re … you know … ruined. But a nearby volcano erupted and the ash, some 8 meters deep of it, covered this small town and then preserved it to the extent that they even found “cavities” where bodies had died. It’s preserved like few other places on earth. It’s fascinating. I ?create a lot of stuff. I live to create. “I am what I create.” ?I have a book called CREATE (?http://books2read.com/create?). It’s kinda my thing. Not that I ?need to have my work be around 2,000 years from now but then again … why not? Here’s the thing, though: ?if you don’t create it now, it won’t be here today and it won’t be here tomorrow. Think about the people of Pompei. They didn’t know, 2,000 years ago, in 79 AD, that 2,000 years later people would be fascinated by the remains of their town. Who knew? ?They didn’t. Who knows if your work, your creation will be around in 2,000 years? ?Or 2 years? Or 20? Or 200? Who’s going to care? ?We can’t know that. But we do know one thing: ?if you don’t create it now, it won’t be preserved anywhere or in any time because … it never existed. Just saying. I create a video (and audio) every single week. What are you creating and how often? ?Who do you create it for? Just yourself!? Yay YOU! Now, I ?gotta find me some focaccia. That’s not going to be around forever either … Greetings from Pompei! Bradley [ https://youtu.be/yCvc_q-H0C8 ]

Greetings from Pepper’s Paradise, OK, sure, Pepper’s dreamland existence might be a stretch, “Stop with the joy! Stop with the happiness! It’s too much!” What will you do when you reach the destination: When you make all the money?When you get all the fame?When you arrive/achieve/finally get _________ ? Will then (and only then) be when you finally allow yourself to be: HappyThankfulThe person you had hoped to be? What if you just had the tiniest smidgen of that dream scenario every single day? Then when you finally “arrive” at your destination, sure, it’s awesome and all, but you just … smile and wave, boys, smile and wave. So, now that we have that covered, what’s your daily dose of … (can I find a “d” word?) destination. A Dose of Daily Destination. That’s 7 doses until next Thursday. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/1fP8GWHL13I ]

Greetings from Back Home, Give Them What They Want (Deliver What They Need) Isn’t the the same thing. Nope. When you (and they) understand the difference, it can help you communicate your message. Have fun with that this weekend. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/pznFwQel7J0 ]

Greetings from Berlin, It may seem like I’m in a new country every week for the past few weeks. It’s not exactly normal over here at Repossible but it’s been the normal lately! Still, no matter where I ?am, what I’m doing, how tired I am or how much I ?might not feel like, I’m going to record.a video. In the rain, during dinner with my cousin while eating riverside in Berlin, here’s some thunder. Hope your week is rumbling. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/3ZkhUKZAovI ]

Greetings from London, In the video, it might sound like this is easy. But it’s not. This is the hard stuff. But the important stuff. Enjoy the view of London! Bradley [ https://youtu.be/0s_rjui6kBs ]

Boost Your Brand with a Book in January 2023 Greetings from Driebergen, I had a great talk this morning with my coach and she inspired me to plan for the future. As I tend to do, I took it a step further and publicly stated my plans for “Easiest Book Ever” and “Boost Your Brand with a Book” (for November, 2022 and January, 2023. Just saying. Well, literally, I’m just saying it, I’m stating it. What dare you state today that you might be doing by the end of this year? Enjoy the sun, the warmth, the blue sky–I sure will as long as it’s here. Keep creating. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/d8LiMMiYGW8 ]

Greetings from Driebergen, If you let me talk with a fellow meditator … watch out. I’m just going to lead (and end) this: “Every choice that I make changes my light” (or energy).” Kara Goodwin and I discuss frequency, the “unexpected,” light and energy, and “how meditation for you is just for you” and not necessarily how I experience it (or Kara) but how it best works for you. Kara is a certified meditation teacher and offers group and private lessons on meditation. She has also created a guided meditation that you can download here: Fill yourself with peace, calmness, and light with this guided meditation. Enjoy our conversation below–I sure did!

Hola from Madrid! Frustrated that you’re not quite yet living that dream life you’ve always dreamed of? ?That’s how I ?was thinking this past weekend. ?Until I ?changed how I see things. ?Here’s a welcome video from Madrid followed by the audiobook version from “You Don’t Have To,” ?Chapter 12, “?Live a Little of Your Future Dream Life Now.” ?Find that one little thing now. ?Let that rumble of Thunder from earlier this week drop into you and let it provide you the energy for today to get there to tomorrow. ?Adios!

Ooh, it’s a thunderous Thursday! Yesterday, finished my audiobook narration of “You Don’t Have To Intermittent Fast, Meditate, or Write a Book: A 17-Hour Journey to Clarity, Courage, and Confidence” and then this morning, I cranked out the audiobook narration of “I Love _____.” In the video below, I’m sharing a chapter from my audiobook titled “Treasure Map.” Just curious, but which of these sounds most adventurous? Which would you smile before you embarked? Which would you really, really like to do? Road MapGPS Coordinated Navigation SystemTurn-by-Turn InstructionsTreasure Map Maybe I’m channeling my inner pirate but I’m going for the Treasure Map. Enjoy this free chapter and here’s another gift just for listeners/viewers of Thursday Thunder. Get both audiobooks for free, before they’re out at the retailers.

Some things really should come to an end–even the good things. Thursday Thunder | S3E21 Happy Thursday! Would you ever join the program titled: Lose one pound every month for the rest of your life! Or maybe: Meet every week to work on Project X forever. If you ever set up a recurring meeting in your calendar app, how do you choose when to make it end? It has to end, right? Sure, except for: Birthdays Brushing teethEating Indian food But other than those, we usually will fare better if there’s an end in sight, a finish line, a goal, a deadline. Basketball season is over and I’m so ready for it to be done. If it were truly year round I would have stopped long ago. But when I know there’s a start and an end? We can endure anything for an amount of time. Enjoy the weekend. It’ll be over on Sunday. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/a8zihlZ66wk ]

Happy Thursday! I had a feeling in my gut on Saturday morning that I ?haven’t had in a long time. ?That youthful, exuberant, “I’m on top of the world” feeling. ?Do you get those? ?Do you know why? ?Do you recognize, then acknowledge, and maybe act on them? ?I think I ?know what to do with this one. ?Make it a great Thursday. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/P5dr5z3SxoM ] Listen to Your Gut

Inspired by the fear I overcame yesterday to Do It Anyway. [ https://youtu.be/94UfLQNoKuc ]

Happy Thursday! I’ve been winging it for years with my books. However, now I’m teaching others to write (and publish and market). I can’t just say, “Hey, wing it! It’ll be great!” Well, I could … But it’s not going to be all that helpful. Here Bradley [ https://youtu.be/rbVhv17Cs1Y ]

Happy Thursday! Yep, I’m on some island paradise. But tomorrow we go back home, back to reality, back to something that’s not palm trees, glittery turquoise water, and endless gyros for lunch (and dinner). How can we make our daily lives, our so-called “regular” lives more like paradise? That’s what this week’s Thursday Thunder is about. It also reminds me that I’ve written books about my most passionate topics and I don’t need to always be creating new but I can rest on y laurels and refer back to work I’ve already done. Enjoy the view, check out the book, and I hope you have a thunderous Thursday! Keep creating, Bradley Secret Bus book: https://books2read.com/bus-to-paradise [ https://youtu.be/3IqBUAgzF5o ]

Greetings from Athens, Greece, We arrived pretty late last night and, if I could manage the willpower, I’d have a great sleep and an even better morning. It worked! I skipped dinner (see what I then had for lunch today to “make up for it”), we went to bed fairly early, I slept great and needed less sleep (this is what I write about in my lated book “You Don’t Have To“), so I woke up early and wrote two chapters. Woo hoo! Then my family woke up and we went on an e-bike tour of Athens. TRAVEL: This Is What I Really, Really Want Whatever age you are now, whatever dreams you have, no matter how small or big, what elements of those dreams could you be doing already? Sure, there are elements of your “perfect dream” you’re waiting for. PRO TIP: you’ll ALWAYS be waiting for them. So why not live the Imperfect Dream starting right now? I just recorded a 10-minute love fest from the streets of the Plaka neighborhood in Athens where, as I honest-to-goodness only realized that I am living my dream already as I was recording the video. So I’ll ask again: What do you really, really want that you could already start doing? Keep creating. Bradley P.S. In the same vein as “Do What You Want to Do,” I’m going to this retreat in The Netherlands in two weeks (May 10 to 12, 2022): “Business Alignment Retreat.” [ https://youtu.be/LTR_Vd1tZqI ]

Alignment in business is all about bringing & doing what you love to clients who love you for it! In this episode of the Repossible podcast, I talk with Nicoline Huizinga about her upcoming 2.5-day live, in-person retreat in The Netherlands! PRO TIP: Use my personal link to save €50! Alignment Retreat. Here’s more information about the retreat: Now, quite some weeks into 2022, would you say that’s what you are doing? Or are you tied up in so-called business success formulas that are exhausting you and depleting your creativity? We’ve been there. And if there is one thing we are both crystal clear on: it’s that other people’s success formulas are exactly that. THEIR success formula. Our biggest lesson learned in years of entrepreneurship: the only success formula that works equally well for everyone is the formula of joy & focus! Having fun at what you do, and a focus on the right things, automatically aligns you with your higher business purpose AND with your ideal clients. So tell us, perhaps you’ve started 2022 with a clean slate, and you were really looking forward to make this YOUR year. You had the best plans laid out and the most powerful resolutions, but for some reason you’re back to procrastinating, doubts and serving nearly but not so ideal clients in the same way as you were in 2021. The billion dollar question is: why is this happening? And how exactly will you make a change to ensure you’re not given another set of lemons like for instance; Life happening along the way and your best laid plans going up in smokeStruggling to get your message out there in a noisy online worldWorking your butt off and not getting the results you are hoping for In January 2022 we organized our very successful online Focus Retreat, to help fellow entrepreneurs to plan for the year ahead.* Our Align Retreat is another one of our concoctions to help an entrepreneur like you thrive, and goes a step further. You deserve it to share your amazing zone of genius with the world – and the world deserves to benefit from the gift & expertise you are here to bring! We believe very strongly in the power of community. So STOP dealing with struggle on your own and let’s do this together, because; ? Chances are high you’ve got a blind spot for the gold in your business – we’ve got just the right tools to uncover this ? It’s always a good idea to have fresh eyes on your business – to ask you the questions that you have stopped asking yourself ? Dedicating time to work ON your business is essential – instead of working IN your business all the time ? No one should feel alone or insignificant while creating his/her life’s work – because you’ve got a talent that the world needs! ? Being surrounded by people who are in the same boat and who cheer you on, will give you the power that you need, especially on those ‘meh’ days (we all have them, right!) * No worries if you missed our Focus Retreat, we will set you up in a way that supports a smooth transition into the Align program.

Greetings from Driebergen, This week, we have a guest on the Thunder! Wow, you think you know a little something about a topic and then you talk to an expert in the field. You might think “drink less” coach Caroline Holke’s only job is to say, “Drink less.” Maybe that’s as naïve as thinking the trainer at the gym says, “Work out.” She brings charm, experience, intelligence and a strategy to help remove the shi**y parts of drinking. Find out more about Caroline at https://www.carolineholkecoach…. Enjoy! Bradley [ https://youtu.be/p1UP3meelkA ]

Greetings from noisy Utrecht, I wouldn’t have gotten it done without the group. I’m not waiting for perfection. Does it exist? I’m not doing my makeup. I’m a dirtbag.

Greetings from windy Driebergen, We’re in full swing with “How to Write the Easiest Book Ever” and here’s a bit of the behind the scenes: although I’m there to inspire and motivate the new authors what ALSO happens is that … they inspire me. Three days ago, I had a conversation with someone in the group. Then there was a discussion in our group “Campfire” that solidified my idea. Then I “knew” what my book idea was, I thought it through (during a morning meditation), the next day (today), I wrote it, formatted it, uploaded it and published it. (I still need the foreword but you can get it already here.) It’s all happening because we all took action this week, that would be collective action, and what happens when you take action? There is an equal or greater reaction. I’d say the reaction has already been greater. Make it a great Thursday. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/-FL7IzllEfs ]

Greetings from early morning Driebergen, Didn’t have such a great day yesterday. Then I: FastedMeditatedCreated Then I recorded a video of my narration of a new chapter form my upcoming book, “You Don’t Have To.“ It’s 11 minutes. It’s a clear and simple path to the clarity to know what to do (and when and how)?, then to the courage: to dare to start?, and finally gives you the confidence to persevere and finish.

Greetings from outside the dentist’s office, Just a few short years ago, I would never have dared record a video while in the car outside of the dentist’s office. I would have: Thought about it a bit longerPrepped the cameraResearched video editing softwareHad breakfastWeighed whether or not it would be better to do it the next day because, you know, Fridays are better for … In other words, I never would have done it. The “Worst Book Ever” project is morphing, growing, and maturing.

Greetings from Driebergen, Sure, I can be a motivational and inspirational teacher. ?But if you don’t have a plan, a map, a system in place to do the actual work you’re supposed to do … then you’re motivated and inspired but don’t know where to go or what to do. ?Which is why, as difficult as it is for me, I’ve created a simple and easy to-follow structure in my programs, especially for How To Write Your Worst Book Ever.

Greetings from Driebergen, We’re talking with Sarah Sienkiewicz this week who just published the paperback version of her book. Mind you, this book was never meant to exist. At all. But that’s the power of getting over yourself, taking bold and silly action, and getting it done. Here’s Sarah’s link to the “Worst Book Ever” Challenge so you, too, can get past your fears and check off an item on your own bucket list. You can also hold Sarah’s book in your hands here: Ultimate Guide To Being Perfect: Stifle Your Creativity and Sabotage Your Dreams In 30 Days. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/IRsO-u_GICA ]

Greetings from Driebergen, We’re gearing up for the next run of “How to Write Your Worst Book Ever” and I’m already getting the questions about fear, self-doubt, and that old friend: Writer’s Block. I’ve had it. We’ve all had it. That &*%$#@^ blinking cursor that’s waiting for us to mess it all up with the very first word. So what do we do? FreezeLeaveRunStopQuit It doesn’t seem to happen with talking. Most of us can talk. We can talk about anything. One of the tactics in the program is to “talk your book” or even just talking about a simple idea. Just words out of your mouth. Want to know another secret? Dialogue. Conversation. Questions and answers. That’s the kind of stuff we’re doing in “How to Write Your Worst Book Ever.” It’s funny how, secretly, stealthily, and sneakily, it’s not really all that much about writing a book and it’s more about breaking through, getting over ourselves, and daring to … speak our story. Can you talk? Then you can tell your story. Or get your idea out there. Oh, and why do that? Because, IMHO, breaking through with letting the idea free from the confines of your mind is one of the secret ingredients to happiness, purpose, and joy. Just saying. SAYING. TALKING. See you next week. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/caMW3LETrvI ]

Greetings from Agua Dulce, Spain, “So, dad, don’t you want to go to India for 6 months now that you can?” “No. Not anymore.” 2-hour drive from Malaga to Almeria last night and I think, in two hours, I learned to discard the desires and dreams of the past and rather put the energy towards new dreams of the future. It saves so much time, energy, and anxiety. Just like that. Greetings from Spain where I’m living a dream I didn’t know I had. Bradley P.S. That “dad” above isn’t me but … it could be in some years as our dreams adapt to our present-day selves. [ https://youtu.be/gPLQwK4OZXg ]

Greetings from Driebergen, I’m not terribly interested in people’s January 1 new year’s resolutions. Because, usually, they don’t last. They’re based on a fad or a flame or … who knows. By February, you probably know: Greetings from Driebergen, I’m not terribly interested in people’s January 1 new year’s resolutions. Because, usually, they don’t last.

What New Year’s Resolutions are you actually going to stick with? Sometimes, it takes a third party, another person, an external force, to get you to take action and change. If you’d like, I’m happy to be that catalyst for change. I got my (online) world rocked (as I explain in the video) and I’ll need to take major action to change in 2022.

They’re not always like that. Often you’re not so interested in what you’re good at (I’m good at math but please don’t ask me to do your taxes).

Greetings from Driebergen, You know what’s easy? Netflix. Sit back, relax, enjoy. You know what’s harder? Creating the story. We could sit back and watch what happens to 2022. Or we could create our own story. Plan what’s going to happen. Draw a roadmap, no matter how simple or even messy, but take the time to plan the year ahead. Are you someone who does that? I’m not. I just create stuff. It works well. Kinda. Usually. Better? Plan and then create stuff. That’s what I’ll be doing from January 10 to January 14 each morning from 10 AM to Noon live with the guidance of Nicoline Huizinga and Josta Marijn Kolk. Want to join us? Check it out.

Greetings from Driebergen, I ?have a presentation tonight on using humor in presentations and speeches. ?I ?have a few things not to do: ? ??Attempt funny (and untested) ?jokesGo for the improvisational “spar with the audience”Wing it ?Whereas I ?have a few tactics that can work even if you’re in that huge part of the population that always comes up to me after a talk and asks, “But what if I’m not funny?” ? ?These are for you: ? Set the tone, “Own the Stage.” ?Set the scene BEFORE you even open your mouth. Even a long pause can get the audience’s attention. This makes all the difference. “Where’s the humor in this?” ?you ask. It can be in a gesture, a smile, a light disposition. PRO TIP: don’t open with a PowerPoint presentation … ?Tell BAD ?jokes. Then laugh AT and WITH yourself. (See video below.)Self-deprecating humor. See note about bad jokes. Tell a joke or something funny about yourself in which you are silly or dumb or ______ something the audience can relate to. It breaks the ice, it brings them onto your side. ?But my Number 1 tip for better–and funnier–public speaking? ? ?Practice. ?Want to get even better than that? ?Practice some more. ?It’s December 10, 2021. This is episode #49 of 2021. I ?did another 52 weeks in 2020. That means I’m out here busting my butt 48 times practicing out here on my Forest Stage so when I’m on the “real” ?stage, I’m all the more ready. ?Was each one award-winning and awesome? ? ?Absolutely not. ?Did I ?get better each time? ?Probably. ?PRO TIP: No, you can’t think about speaking or talk about speaking. The words have to come out of your mouth, your vocal cords have to vibrate and sound has to exit your body. THEN, and only then, are you practicing. ?I’m here on Thursdays. Even though today is Friday. ?Humor me. ?Show up. ?Send me a video. ?See you next week. ?Bradley ? [ https://youtu.be/olUtP11tXjg ]

Greetings from Driebergen, Let’s see: Eat lessDon’t drink alcoholWake up earlyMeditateCreate ?That’s kinda it. ?That, IMHO, is super fun. ?It’s weirdly even, dare I ?say, MORE fun than the drinking and debauchery of the holiday vacation. ?My question: ?”How can we make our daily existence at least as good as our holiday life?” ? ?The book I ?was reading was called Sooley. ?Enjoy your “regular” week. ?See you next Thursday. Bradley P.S. If you’re of an entrepreneurial nature, here’s something I’m going to be running in late January. Careful, there’s commitment involved.

Greetings from the wet and cold forests in Driebergen, ?The book (or art or project or program or ________ ?) you create this year is only possible this year. ?Even if you remember, you take notes, and you try your hardest to make your opinions, experiences, and “who you are” ?just like this year but you don’t do it until next year, it’s just not you. ?Each book you do is then a part of you. Even if you tear it up, toss it in to the garbage, or sell tons of copies, it’s a part of you. ?Your next book next year will be the You of Next Year. ?It’s embedded in you. ?Well, that is, if you do it. ?This year. ?It’s November 25. Just saying. See you next week. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/bR5694ZPnlw ]

Greetings from Fuerteventura, The Canary Islands, Spain, I’m learning how to kite surf this week. ?I’m terrible. ?Wait a minute. I’m a beginner. I’m supposed to be terrible, right? ? ?But then why and how can I still compare myself with the instructor who is so awesome? ?And how often do we do this same thing in so many aspects of our lives? ?Compare yourself to the self of last week. ?Much better, right? ? ?Greetings from the sun and fun and … pain of water sports failures.

Greetings from Zeist, First of all, I know it’s Friday morning. Sometimes I record TT in the afternoon and then I get home and there are kids and dinner and basketball practice and it takes time to export it from my phone, edit the video, upload it to YouTube and … you get the idea. But I’m persistent: I’m not going to change it to Friday Frolic. Thursday Thunder … but sometimes on a Friday morning. ?Now, where was I? Oh yes, on my bike. ?Because I ?just met with a friend. ?In person. ?We exchanged ideas. Asked each other questions. Pushed back. Doubted, wondered, suggested. ?That’s hard to do alone. ?So get out of the house and meet up with someone (if you’re able and allowed … ) and dare to share your ideas, to let them out of your head, and I ?can (almost) promise you, you will be stronger for it, your ideas will be more mature, and you will have a more concrete plan for the near future. ?Or at least you’ll have a nice trip home. ?Enjoy the woodsy scenery of Zeist and Driebergen, The Netherlands. ?’till next THURSDAY. ?Bradley [ https://youtu.be/KoswXtgERvk ]

Greetings from Driebergen, I’m going to walk the talk and keep this … short. ?AND powerful. Blaise Pascal said: ? “I’m sorry I wrote you such a long letter. I didn’t have time to write you a short one.” ?Shorter is usually better, usually takes more time than longer, and you have to do nasty stuff like … edit. Yuck. ?In keeping with the theme, I’ll stop writing and give you 6 minutes to watch “Kort En Krachtig.” Bradley ?P.S. I’m working on a program to create a short book so you can actually FINISH it. More at that with a click of the button. Video below. [ https://youtu.be/wHIVPQoGpoY ]

Greetings from Driebergen, I was lighting a candle this morning and noticed the lighter was on “high.” The little knob let out lots of gas for a big flame. But I was just lighting a candle. I only need the tiniest of flames to light a candle. Then that candle can light the rest of the candles in my house. It could also start a fire in the fireplace (well, if we had one … ), and it could even burn down the whole house, the neighborhood, even the forest and town I live in. But let’s just back to the lighter, the size of the flame, and that candle. Just one little flame for a few seconds is all that’s required. Kinda like writing your first (short) book. Here’s my morning in the dark and the early afternoon in the meadow under the sun. What spark will you ignite this week? Bradley [ https://youtu.be/lsmXYpVov9o ]

Greetings from Florence, Italy, A friend gave me a list of words last week and he wanted me to choose just one that most represented my business. I ?can’t remember them all and some were sure tempting (creativity, productivity, trust) ?but one of them stood out at the top: ? ?Confidence. ?I ?figured if I ?just had a little more of that one I ?could achieve the other ones–or at least it would help me get closer. ?The word next to confidence was Power. If you have confidence, you have (or get) power. ?Could it be so simple. ?I’ll walk you through a bit of Florence this morning and tell you how 100 grams of flour and 1 egg might lead to a breakthrough in yourself and/or your business. ?Ciao!

Greetings from Driebergen, What are you up to on Sunday? If you could create the day exactly as you’d like, what would it be like?
