Undercut

Published 5 days ago • 1 min read

What small thing causes you disproportionate rage discomfort Reader?
​

Me? I HATE the feeling of my hair touching my neck. HATE it. Yes, captial letter, actually shouting HATE it.


And because I like to have my hair short, even putting it in a ponytail brings no relief because the hair at the back of my head is was too short to tie up.

As the weather warmed up in May, I decided I wanted to get an undercut (have the hair at the nape of my neck shaved really short).

I didn’t do it because:

1. I am not good at asking for what I want/need (I'm working on this)
2. I don’t like sitting still to get my hair cut.

It is now September.

The hot weather has passed.

As has the optimum time to get an undercut.

Today I got it done anyway.

Because I still wanted it.

And yes, the best time to have it done was way back in May.

​But the second-best time was right now.

If there is a source of friction in your business, marketing, or anywhere in your life that’s been aggravating you for far too long, and it feels like the best time to address it has passed. That’s OK. Because the second-best time to fix it is right now.

Telling my friend that I really wanted to have an undercut gave me the momentum I needed to do this. If you want to tell someone about the friction point you’re fed up with, reply to this email.

P.S. Chapter 7 of the Comfy Business Playbook is called Chafe-Hunting and it’s all about finding and eliminating friction. If you already own it you access it here.

Pile of fresh, earthy potatoes with dirt specks.

Little diced potatoes roasted in garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil is a solid favourite in this house Reader. And every time I cook them, Every Time, I'll sneakily pop a piece of fresh-from-the-oven potato right into my mouth. Every Time. It hurts so much. I try to be patient and wait. I wave the potato around in the air to cool it down. But my reward system (like everyone else's) fires faster and louder than my pain-warning system. And my brain also throws in a little bit of optimism bias,...

Whenever I hear the phrase GCSEs I instantly think of the (epic) music video for Daft Punk’s Around The World. I couldn’t revise in silence. Summer of '97, I did most of my studying lying flat on my belly on the living room carpet, with MTV on, for the full 6 hours of bliss whenever everyone else was out of the house (I’m the eldest of 4 kids). Angst-riddled parents fretfully told me ‘you can’t possibly concentrate like that’ a few dozen times - but it was the only way I could concentrate. 28...

A colorful wall covered in building blocks

I've been reflecting on how I help my clients, and Passholders (so I can generate ideas for a future podcast series), and I realised the same three predicaments come up a LOT. And even though I don't have an intro, outro, branding, or even a name for the podcast series yet - I went ahead and recorded these episodes anyway - to see if I enjoyed the process, and if you liked the content.This episode is for you if you've been thinking about making a change in your business but you're scared...
