The Trap of Being the Best (and completely miss the point)
When You’re the Only One Who’s Miserable at Work
When I started my last job, I had a clear idea of what I was there to do. I saw myself as an in-house consultant, the special projects guy—someone who could help solve problems and improve things. I assumed that’s why they hired me.
Using an Entrepreneurial Mindset at Work: The Role of Intention
In my last piece, I talked about developing an entrepreneurial mindset at work—not for your employer’s benefit, but for your own. This mindset shift helps you take control of your career, even in a job that's not working for you. But mindset is just the beginning.
What does it take to think like an entrepreneur?
Hate your job? Feel like you're being pushed around, undervalued, or stuck in a toxic environment? Quitting might seem like the only way out, but there’s another option—shifting your mindset. Thinking like an entrepreneur, even while working for someone else, can help you take back control, make your job more bearable (or even better), and open doors to new opportunities.

How it works...
Let's start with a call, see if there is a fit. No two situations are alike, and I'd like to know about your situation, what is getting your way, and what you need.
In our first call we will discuss the nature of your situation, what goals you might have, the barriers to your success, what excites you about work and what gets you down. I hope to be able to break down some of those barriers and start to work on your vision.
Our first half hour is free, and from there we will figure out a good plan of action.
When we've established your vision, we will work on breaking down the barriers that stand in your way. Build the confidence to express your vision and find what you are looking for.
