The world needs more of this

Disney Customer Service Speaker — Nine days ago. Photo: David Smith.

This LinkedIn message came last night, in response to a Leadership Keynote speech i gave nine days prior:

The 72-hr challenge was a good kick to start on something good. I was visiting a client this week who spoke very highly of your presentation. She was very impressed, inspired and working (continuing) on her 72-hr challenge 🙂
So, the impact you were hoping for is definitely taking place!

Be amazed and be amazing. The world needs more of that, as evidenced in the unsolicited message above.

Ever work invisibly on a game changing idea?

Quote about being a visionary — Photo: an hour ago from a friend’s Facebook update.

Have been working invisibly for the past week to create the right questions and the right vision to help someone who wants to change things.

My mission is to convince him to take an expensive risk that has no guarantee.

Why would anyone spend either side of $250k for something that cannot be guaranteed to work?

Why?

Because they want to become the category, not be the best in a category.

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.

If we do nothing, we know what to expect.

Amplify your work

Archery target — Yesterday while running near a Church Summer camp.

Work harder, reach higher, think deeper, and care more than anyone else you work with. Be a category of one.

The goal isn’t to score well on your target. Your goal is to repeatedly hit the bullseye.

Amplify your work.

What’s stopping any of us from doing this?

Turn it up.

We win every time we do this.

Should we quit and stay?

House of Blues sign — Yesterday at Downtown Disney.

We all ask this question at least once in our career.

Should we quit and stay?

Is our career over and yet we still have years before retirement?

Meaning, are we stuck where we are because we have given up on “being someone who makes a difference”?

Seriously?

That’s how we’re gonna go out in life?

Bad karma to be brutally honest. Like stealing.

The painful paradox of profit

Began the rough draft yesterday to describe concisely what hiring me as a business advisor would look like.

Have a client who wants transformation and world class consistency and operational excellence.

Same client also wants this as cheaply as possible.

She’s been taught to ruthlessly control costs.

Profit is the goal for her, not the reward.
