"Colour impacts our visual experience. But like most things in design, we can sometimes overdo our colours. This 60-30-10 rule is a safe approach to using colours. One dominant colour, a secondary colour and an accent colour to give your design a pleasing visual balance. Like the rule of thirds, it does not mean it cannot be broken. Do it after you’ve mastered the art of using these rules in design. If you are a novice designer, stick to them, and you cannot go wrong.

Did you know: 80% of your results come from just 20% of your actions?" This is the Pareto Principle in action – and it’s perfectly reflected in Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Here’s what makes these habits powerful: Be Proactive (Habit 1): Focus on your circle of influence. Don’t waste energy on things you can’t control. Begin With the End in Mind (Habit 2): Define your mission statement. Visualise your goals. Put First Things First (Habit 3): Use the urgent vs important matrix. Prioritise meaningful tasks over distractions. 🔑 Takeaways: 20% of your actions (the important ones) lead to 80% of your success. Covey’s habits teach us to focus on high-impact activities rather than being busy for the sake of it. Start small. Shift just 1–2 hours per week toward important, long-term priorities. Which of these habits do you practise daily? From 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey Infographics by Smart Reading

5 models I swear by to be more strategic (especially when the stakes are high.) I wish I could tell you, "The smartest decisions I’ve made came from instinct." But that would be a lie. They came from having the right tool. At the right moment. No one has all the answers. And being strategic isn’t about pretending to. It’s about knowing how to think for the most impact. Here are 5 models I use to think more strategically: 🧠 SWOT Analysis See what’s working. Spot what’s holding you back. ➟ Use before: big moves or career pivots. 🔁 Second-Order Thinking Think past the obvious. Spot long-term impact early. ➟ Use when: decisions have ripple effects. 🛠 VRIO Framework Find your edge. Identify what sets you apart. ➟ Use to: pitch your value or prioritize strengths. 📐 McKinsey 7S Fix what’s out of sync. Align how you strategize, plan and act. ➟ Use when: progress stalls or things out of sync. 🎯 Impact vs Effort Matrix Work smarter, not harder. Focus where results are most impactful. ➟ Use when: you’re overloaded or stuck. Being strategic isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about knowing how to think when it counts. The right model can change how you lead, plan, and win. Reshare to help someone in your network. And give me a follow for more posts like this.

90% of failing businesses have the same problem. They're building a house without a foundation. I've worked with 500+ CEOs in the last 5 years. The pattern is clear: The ones who scale past $10M revenue all do 4 things well. The ones who plateau or crash? They ignore at least 2 of these. Here's the framework that separates the winners: → PILLAR 1: Growth Strategy • Map your next 3 revenue streams with launch dates • Pick one new market to test with a 90-day deadline • Kill anything consuming resources without delivering growth → PILLAR 2: Financial Health • Cut your cash conversion cycle by 20% (invoice earlier, collect sooner, pay smarter) • Build a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast you update weekly • Set a 15% minimum ROI threshold for any investment over $X → PILLAR 3: Team Strength • Document your top 10 processes so others can run them without you • Identify your 5 most critical roles - name who could step in if needed tomorrow • Start weekly 1-on-1s with your direct reports (30 minutes each) → PILLAR 4: Market Position • Survey customers to find the 2-3 things they value most about working with you • Double investment in whatever makes you uniquely valuable • Create partnerships where you share customers and both sides win The companies hitting all 4 pillars consistently? They're not just growing. They're scaling without breaking. Their teams aren't burning out. Their cash flow stays healthy. Their market position gets stronger. Most CEOs focus on one pillar and wonder why growth stalls. The best CEOs know growth is a system, not a strategy. P.S. Want a PDF of my Pillars of Profitable Growth Cheat Sheet?
