Shrink to Grow

City Slickers is a pretty forgettable movie, especially 30 or so years after its release. Jack Palance as Curly is unforgettable, however, as was "Curly's Law" - Just One Thing.

Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is?

Curly: This. [holds up one finger]

Mitch: Your finger?

Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don’t mean sh**.

Mitch: But, what is the “one thing?”

Curly: [smiles] That’s what you have to find out.

(Here's the clip to watch Curly's Law)

I've spent my career focused on growth - growing teams, companies, revenues, and profits. My consulting/coaching business is named Apex Growth Advisors. As much as I think about and work on growth, I have found that you need to shrink just one thing in order to grow successfully and to sustain that growth: Time. Even if you are not currently growing, you can find ways to grow teams, companies, revenues, and profits. You cannot grow time. To maximize your growth and to enjoy the results and benefits of growth, you need to shrink time. The more time you cut out of meetings, the more you can spend on productive growth activities. The more you cut time out of your workday, the more time you can spend on your relationships, your health, and on the fun things you work for!

I became a Catipult Coach to help business owners shrink time (get time back) while achieving the apex of their personal and professional growth potential.
