Not a Hike. Not a Jump. Take a Leap, take a chance, do the thing that you’re not sure if you should do, and go for it. Any way you slice it, you always win with a Leap – you learn, you grow, you fall down, you pick yourself up, and you go again. If you haven’t taken a leap lately, maybe that’s what’s really bugging you. Want more?

It Gets Better

Greg Thomas

It might get worse before it gets better. But it always gets better. Maybe not back to where you were before, but better than where you are now. But only if you’re willing to work on the problem, only if you’re willing to dig deep. It can get better, but it’s on you to put in the effort to get it there. Want more?

The Authenticator App Problem

Greg Thomas

My authenticator app is overflowing with sites – everyone wants a code for me to log in with now. Do they need the code? I don’t know. But now that one does it, they all do it. I am using different codes for different apps. We’re not solving the problem of authentication; we’re simply duplicating it across every piece of infrastructure we now touch. Want more?

But what do you Own?

Greg Thomas

I had to buy a software product last week that cost $65 – not bad – I know it’s a great product, I’ve used it in the past for many years, and I’m happy to pay for the upgrade and get a new version. I read the initial purchase agreement wrong and signed up for a monthly subscription for $20/month – so $240/year for a product I use a smattering of times because I’ll get some new content. Immediately, I cancelled and then dug through their website to find the license and the thing I actually wanted. Found it bought, …

I’m not doing that bad am I?

Greg Thomas

I’ve watched this video a few times and keep getting to the last bit and laughing. Imagine being Cristiano Ronaldo, being able to score 3 goals at the World Cup at the age of 41, and having to convey to others – “I’m not doing that bad, am I?” It’s funny and sad all at the same time – if you’ve ever seen the regimen he follows to still be able to perform at this level, to still be able to beat out younger players, and to still be able to perform. Imagine how many people you work with and …

The Last 10% of Any Project

Greg Thomas

The Last 10% of any project is the hardest and takes the longest – mentally – of the entire project. I don’t know how long it will take you or what it takes to complete it. Only you do, all I know is the last 10% can take twice as long as the middle 80% and thrice of the starting 10%. The solution? Find a closer, someone who can take that last 10% over the finish line. They are in short supply, but when you have one, they will make every project succeed by finishing that last 10% that the …
