For over 20 years, I've been taking on sales targets and beating them - from selling space in phone books straight from university to running international, multi-channel sales and marketing teams. The most enjoyable part of my career has been working with groups of motivated individuals and transforming them into a winning team.

Since finishing my last full-time role, I've worked as an advisor and fractional CRO across Europe,  developing ambitious strategies and building sales organizations that drive growth and increase profitability.
Passionate about helping individuals and teams succeed.

Everyone wants the breakthrough. 
Nobody wants the boring part before it.
 
Consistency is not exciting. 
It's repetitive. It's unglamorous. It's slow.
 
That's exactly why it works.
 
Because most people quit when it gets boring. 
And boring is where the compound effect lives.
 
A simple standard: 
Do the thing when you don't feel like it. 
That's the rep that counts.
 
Motivation gets you started. 
Consistency gets you results.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

I work with a lot of founders and revenue leaders who describe themselves as "insecure overachievers."

They're not short on confidence. 
They're short on safety.

They perform. They execute. They deliver.
But they won't ship until it's perfect. 
And perfect never comes.

So they prep again. Run it one more time. Another slide. Another rehearsal.
Not to win. 
But to reduce the risk of feeling exposed.

Here's a reframe:
Preparation creates confidence. Over-preparation creates anxiety.

Try this practical test:
𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝟮𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲? 
If yes (a strong yes): Do it. 
If no (or in doubt):  Ship it and move on.

As a leader, your attention has compounding value. Every hour spent polishing something that's already good enough is an hour not spent on the next deal, the next decision, or your family.
Good and moving beats perfect and late. Every time.

For some high performers, rest feels like falling behind. 
Even a betrayal.
 
If you're not working, someone else is. 
If you slow down, you'll lose momentum. 
If you take a break, you might not start again.
 
None of that is true. But it feels true.
 
And feelings drive behaviour.
 
A reframe: 
Rest is not the opposite of performance. It's part of it.
 
You don't sharpen a blade by cutting more.
Recovery is a strategy. 
Not a reward.

Trust is not built in off-sites or big announcements. 
It's built in small, repeated moments.
 
Following through on the small thing you said you'd do. 
Giving credit when no one's watching. 
Being honest when it's uncomfortable. 
Not checking someone's work that you already delegated.
 
The big trust moments are rare. 
The small ones happen every day.
 
And your team is watching.
Leadership is not a title. 
It's a pattern.
 
I write about Leadership, Sales, and Mindset - real conversations in meetings, over Zoom, or over a wine, inspire the topics.

𝗕𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻

Last week, I worked with a smart, ambitious, talented team with a strong vision, values, Value Proposition, loyal customer base, differentiated offering, world-class service, and a focus on high performance.

Time with them is always an interesting challenge for me - they dont have time to waste but they are open-minded and take on new ideas.  

That day, our conversation moved from spending time on BHAGs to spending more time making our day-to-day thinking bolder, our weekly plans more radical, and our action lists more challenging.

The attitude has stayed with me all week - as I've thought more about what 𝙄 want to achieve - 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮.

𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 - we all know that those companies who 
cling to incremental, "safe" improvements will become the next dinosaurs—wiped out by disruption.  And the same is true of all leaders.

The 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 comes down to this: bold goals demand bold execution. Incremental thinking might get you a 10% improvement, but it will never achieve the breakthrough that transforms your business, your market, or the world. As Peter Diamandis often says, "Going 10x is easier than going 10%." Why? Because when you’re bold, you break free from the status quo, and you rally the talent, technology, and resources needed to achieve extraordinary outcomes.

But boldness isn’t just about setting audacious goals—it’s about the 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲:

1. Disrupt yourself before the market forces you to. Don’t wait for competitors to show you the path. Blaze your own trail, even if it feels risky or uncomfortable.
2. Fail fast, fail forward. Bold goals come with inevitable setbacks, but each failure brings you closer to the ultimate breakthrough. If you're not embarrassed by your first iteration, you've launched too late.
3. Think big, start small. Radical execution doesn’t mean reckless action. Test, iterate, and move rapidly, but always with a clear, bold vision in sight.
   
As leaders, our job isn’t just to make progress—it’s to make an impact. The world’s biggest problems are also the world’s biggest opportunities, and right now, we have the power to solve them in ways that were unthinkable a decade ago.

A bold Mindset is the key to unlocking this.

What bold move will you make today that positions your business to disrupt, lead, and shape the future?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀

The obvious answer is "Failure".
Obvious but wrong.

Many overachievers ae NOT scared of failure.
They're scared of being ordinary.

Why?
Because ordinary feels like:
Not chosen. Not respected. Not needed. 
Nothing Special.

So they chase "exceptional" in every meeting, every deck, every deliverable.
But exceptional isn't a personality trait.
It's usually just Focus + Repetition + Patience.

The healthiest high performers I know aren't driven by proving they're special.
They're driven by:
Doing good work.
Learning fast.
Helping others win.
Playing the long game.

You're allowed to be average while you're becoming great.

I write about revenue leadership, scaling, and the mindset that separates good operators from great ones.

Rare to see something which genuinely makes you smile AND think on here. Loved this.

There are many reasons to love Norway 🇳🇴

One of them — the state funds deadpan, matter-of-fact ads. Sometimes, they call BS and try to do something about it.

Getting promoted doesn't make you a leader. 
It gives you the 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 to become a leader.

Some new leaders make this mistake: 
They keep doing the job they were promoted from.

Why?
Because that's where the confidence is.
That's what they're good at.
 The old role felt safe. 
The new role feels exposed.
 So they stay busy with tasks instead of leading people.
 
A shift that helps: 
Your job is no longer to do the work. 
Your job is to make the work possible.
 
That means making decisions. Setting priorities. Bringing clarity to chaos. 
Not more hours on the job.
Delegate.
