The Sunk Cost Trap: Are You Throwing Good Time After Bad?
You’ve spent the money.You’ve put in the time.You’ve worked hard to get this far.
And now you’re realizing… this may not be the right path.
But you keep going.Why?
Because of the most dangerous trap in decision-making:The sunk cost fallacy...
Most people try to grow profit by selling more or cutting costs.
That’s fine—but also lazy.
The better move? Map your business activities. Identify which ones add value—and which ones bleed it.
That’s where Porter’s Value Chain Analysis comes in. It’s one of the most useful (and underused) tools ...
Let’s get something straight:
You’re probably more ready and more qualified than you give yourself credit for.
But you’re stuck waiting.
Waiting for:
The perfect plan
The right credentials
More confidence
More clarity
Some magical moment where it all “feels right”
Here’s the truth:That moment i...
The same approach that built rockets, cured diseases, and powered innovation can help you land clients, improve your business, or fix your personal life.
“But George, I’m not a scientist.”
Exactly. That’s why this matters.
You don’t need a lab coat or a chemistry set. You don’t need a biology de...
Hey there,
Let’s be real.
Most people waste their weekends — especially rainy ones.
They binge shows. Scroll endlessly. Drown in snacks and distractions.
They say they’re “resting,” but they’re really just avoiding.
Not you.
This weekend — rainy or not — you’ve got an opportunity.
A hidden window...
In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, we meet the Kobayashi Maru test—a no-win scenario. No matter what choices a Starfleet cadet makes, the outcome is failure. Captain James T. Kirk famously reprograms the test. He cheats. And in doing so, he reframes the game: why accept an unwinnable scenario wh...
The September–October Myford Sprint wrapped. Here’s what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next.
Every 30 days, I run an experiment.Not in theory. In execution.
From September 24th to October 24th, the focus was one thing: momentum.
Here’s how it went down.

Here’s Why Resistance Isn’t Futile

The Assimilation Machine
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Borg is the ultimate enemy of individuality. A faceless collective. A hive mind that repeats one phrase over and over:
“We will assimilate you.”
“Resistance is futile.”
Sound familiar?
That’s th...
In manufacturing, Just-in-Time (JIT) changed everything.Toyota made it famous by producing parts only when needed — no waste, no excess, no delays.
Now, imagine applying that same concept to learning.
Instead of hoarding degrees, certifications, and content you might never use, you learn what you...
I’ve always gone against the grain. Groupthink has never sat well with me. When everyone rushes in one direction, I instinctively stop and ask: is this really the right path—or just the most crowded one?
For decades, the default path has been clear: go to college, rack up debt, hope the degree pa...
Quick note: This is a stress test, not a forecast. We’re asking a hard “what if” so you can make better decisions in the real world.
