Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them.   – Dr. Robert Jarvik (inventor of the Jarvik-7, an artificial heart)

Perhaps they do have a highly developed sense of fear, but an even greater sense of purpose. Yes?

A metric that is difficult to comprehend. Impossible to appreciate.

Magic is a tough metric to measure, until it’s not

 

A completely different morning than usual. Do we love when that happens, or does it completely derail our routine?

Truth be told, every day is non-typical in the corporate world for many people. No different here. Tonight’s speech is 6-8pm in downtown Orlando.

Imagine speaking to one million people over the 15 years and never once mentioning being an author, nor even the slightest mention of being The Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger

Can you imagine the temptation? The opportunity?

Bottom line – never.

Ever.

A metric that is difficult to comprehend. Impossible to appreciate.

The first ten copies of Mid Life Celebration will be here any day

Astonishing quote on excuses
Few words have more truth than these. It feels great to overcome this.

 

The first ten copies will be here any day. The publisher and printer (two separate entities) are awaiting the green light from me Mid Life Celebration, LLC.

Then it should be two to three weeks for the bulk order to arrive in Orlando.

Meanwhile, Amazon and Barnes & Noble will have it available immediately.

The book announcement is going to surprise everyone.

Been a while since I’ve swallowed butterflies this big.

Vultures? No, pelicans. Was afraid to use this pic because it’s out of focus. But it is in real time.

 

The cost of doing nothing is exponentially greater than doing this:

The cost of failing.

Getting used to trying things, even at the risk of failing, is the fastest (and only) way to following your passion.

Fear of failing is a deadly toxin to passion.

We know this.

The goal is always, without exception, to deliver

The Breakers standard Resort view room
Have the service match (or exceed) the facilities (and sleep well knowing you gave 100%)

 

Unsolicited. Sincere. Humbling. Bullseye.

“This is our 40th trip to Walt Disney World and today was the best day ever. Thank you so much.”

What can you say in response?

You’re welcome?

Yes.

Insight: The goal is always, without exception, to deliver a remarkable level of service.
