This week, I posted two pieces of content that unexpectedly linked together—a perfect example of serendipity in action. Some of the best insights come from these unplanned connections, sparking fresh ideas and opportunities.
Post 1: Building your business
A drystone wall combines big stones for stability, medium stones for structure, and small stones to fill the gaps. Too many big stones? It collapses. Only small stones? It crumbles. The same applies to your business.
Big stones: Strategic, high-value projects—impressive but energy-intensive.
Medium stones: Reliable, consistent work that provides structure. Small stones: Adaptive, personalised tasks that keep you nimble.

Post 2: A music review of The Cure’s new album,
In 1986, The Cure released their first compilation, ‘Standing on a Beach’, cementing their legacy. Decades later, they’re number one again with ‘Songs of a Lost World’. Did they reuse imagery that nods to their past—possibly even the same rock? Sometimes, old elements find fresh relevance.
Are my posts just a load of rocks?
Not quite.
