Have you been forwarded the DARE High Performance newsletter? You can sign up here to receive your own copy in the future.

DARE is the mental model for high performance and change.

You write your story through your DECISIONS, ACTIONS and RESULTS and a thorough EVALUATION of how you did.

A new Result requires new Decisions and Actions.

This Week’s DARE at a Glance:

Thought of the Week: ‘The paper you write your story upon? Time.’

The end of the Summer: The best day to act is yesterday. The second best day is today.

Thought Of The Week

Decision. Action. Result. Evaluate: how you write your story.

The paper you write your story upon? Time.

 Tick Tock

And so we finish our DARE Summer Reset series. September dawns.

When I began writing them for you, I was speaking in the US. Chapters were created on holiday as children slept peacefully, and on a beach after training sessions on the freedive platform.

Time has passed for us all during these weeks of Summer Resets.

Tick Tock.

We are given paper to write our story upon, you and I, paper is our time on this planet.

We move our pen across our paper every day: Decision, Action, Result, Evaluate.

And so we write the story of our lives. Our story matters. Every story matters. Our mighty world is just the sum of the actions of its people. You contribute to that world.

Tick Tock.

Book Jim To Speak

I remember. Do you?

First day at school. Milk and biscuits. Favourite uncles, aunts, grandparents. Long division. Sandcastles and ice creams. Big school. Exams. A Saturday job. A kiss. A driving licence. Big exams. A big dream!

A professional job. A spouse. A mortgage. A child. Trying not to be ‘bad’ by working whilst on holiday (to pay for the holiday). Our child’s first day at school…

Tick Tock.

Your summer 2025 reset matters!

If you have moved to course correct in any way, large or small, congrats!

If you have not because you did not need to, congrats!

If you thought about moving and didn’t act:

Your story matters. Your contribution matters. Your heart and your soul and your creativity, and your impact and your inspiration to others, and your own joy and satisfaction: all matter.

Nobody comes to rescue us. We are in charge. We hold the pen. We write the story.

“Own your power” isn’t a tattoo.

It is a big, grown up, scary action. A leap into uncertainty and risk, summoning the inevitable roar of the Tiger, and staying there even as your pulse races.

Tick Tock.

Time is the paper we are given to write our story upon and nobody knows how much paper they have.

Morbid? I do not think so. A reminder of urgency when we are distracted by the mortgage or fixing name tags to socks?

Yes.

The best day to act is yesterday. The second best is today. Tomorrow never comes.

Tick Tock.

Act Boldly today! You can do it.

A reminder of our Bold Goal Summer Resets so far:

• Summer Reset #1: Your POWER. Your AGENCY. Do you write your story authentically or as dictated by your Tiger?

• Summer Reset #2: The knowledge and understanding to THINK consciously about uncertainty and risk and not be driven by the algorithmic, emotional comfort zone.

• Summer Reset #3: You acted – before you were ready – to begin the thing. (Or did you tell yourself a story about why action is impossible?)

• Summer Reset #4: How to Design Your Future (and my 5 top tips for failure).

• Summer Reset #5: Tick Tock Time.
