Welcome to Big Thinker Universe! This November, I’m diving into a personal challenge I’ve embraced for years—dedicating the month to saying NO. That’s right—NOvember is all about setting intentional boundaries, staying focused, and aligning with my North Star priorities. For me, family always comes first, but as an entrepreneur with ADHD and boundless curiosity, I often get caught up in exciting projects and ideas. This month, I’m committed to cutting out distractions, staying focused on my goals, and giving myself the permission to say NO without guilt.

In this episode, I share:

• Why every YES is secretly a NO to something else and how it impacts your time and energy.
• How saying NO to new distractions, side projects, and non-essential tasks fuels my 100-day challenge to build a side hustle.
• The power of teaching others to be self-reliant and avoiding co-dependency.
• Why focusing on actionable steps (instead of big theories) will make NOvember a transformative month.

Let’s make November a time for clarity, purpose, and boundaries that support what truly matters. Join me in reflecting on what you’re saying NO to this month and what you’re choosing to say YES to instead! Leave a comment, and let’s inspire each other to make this a month of intentional choices. 🚀

In this episode of Big Thinker Universe, I dive deep into the world of systems and processes—yes, the very ones that often make us visionary leaders cringe! Inspired by insights from Gino Wickman’s Traction and David Jenyns’ Systemology, I'm here to break the myth that processes stifle creativity. Instead, I argue that systems can actually liberate you, allowing you to focus on what you do best while maintaining scalability and structure.

I share my personal journey, from being a “firefighter” in my business to realizing the power of process and how AI now plays a pivotal role in simplifying and enhancing those systems. Learn how iconic brands like McDonald’s mastered processes to scale, and why following a similar strategy can be the game-changer for your business. I also discuss Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s game-changing concepts of "Who Not How" and "10x Thinking" and why focusing on the right who over the how can transform your growth.

In this video, you'll discover:

• How systems and processes provide freedom, not restriction.
• The power of AI in breaking down tasks and automating workflows.
• Real-life examples of scalable businesses built on strong foundations.
• The critical shift from doing everything yourself to focusing on strategic decisions.

This Halloween episode is all about turning ordinary tasks into fun, engaging activities.

If you’re an entrepreneurial leader like me, you know the value of motivating teams and yourself to keep moving forward, even when the task is tough.
