At The End Of The Day

At Day's End It's All About Survival
At Day's End It's All About Survival

It’s all about results. And few times in history has that been more important than now. Companies fold. People loose their jobs. Prices are slashed. Worries escalate. Houses don’t sell. Government’s big plans can’t find critical momentum.

At the end of the day, businesses are focused on their numbers.

Apple announced a few day ago they’ve sold two million iPads in less than 60 days. It took them 28 days to sell the first million. Reaching milestones is one thing. Making sure advocates and potential buyers are aware is another.

And it’s not to boast. It’s to create buzz.

For instance, in May at Mid Life Celebration, LLC:

  • Nearly 300k Hits
  • 40k+ Visits
  • 150k+ Page Views
  • 2,300+ cumulative Blog Posts

And you know what’s crazy? I’m just getting warmed up. Everything takes longer than you expect. How are your plans coming along?

Get Used To It

Failure Is Not An Option
Failure Is Not An Option

Impossible is for amateurs.

Impossible is nothing.

If you’re goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

People will call you crazy. Get used to it.

People will tell you it can’t be done. Get used to it.

You’ll want to quit chasing your crazy, impossible goals. Don’t get used to it.

Nothing Is Routine Anymore

Saturday mornings. Many people have rituals, routines, they do on Saturday mornings. Or any morning for that matter. And many of our routines depend on where we are in life.

What did you do this past Saturday? Was it a routine or was it out of the ordinary?

I went jogging with my Accountant on a route twice as long as normal, so we had much more time to talk.

With the advent of Reality Shows, Twitter, Skype, Blogs, and Texting, there is a case to be made for developing a new business model. Suppose a creative, restless, passionate entrepreneur paves the way for Reality Blogging.

The Price of Freedom

Sums It Up Pretty Well
Sums It Up Pretty Well

Many businesses will honor the United States tradition of closing their doors to doing business, and take a day off from work, to remember the price of freedom.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. Fly the American Flag proudly. Honor our United States Military, even if you are against war.

In fact, no one likes war. And yet our Service Men and Service Women put their very lives on the line so that we can sleep under a blanket of freedom each night that few have ever known.

Do You Know Who You Are?

This Takes You To A Special Place
This Takes You To A Special Place

As you rush through your insane busy days, do you take make time to pause and ground your thoughts and actions with your core being?

We see it in others every single day.

But we can’t see it in ourselves.

I cannot recall the last time, if ever, I’ve provided a link to this blog. It represents the very core of what I believe. You may not believe what I believe and that’s not the point. The point is, whatever you believe, do you believe it all the way and do you use it all day long to drive your work towards excellence?
