So grateful for having to work so hard for so long

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Weird how 600 people seems like a small audience to me now. Montreal, November 2015.

 

So grateful for having to work so hard for so long.

Not only am i closing in on the eighth consecutive year of prolific blogging, i’m also one month away (as this is written) from beginning year eight as an entrepreneur. Six and a half of those years i was also working at Disney Institute.

You know those lists of great reasons – the amazing benefits that are touted –  for becoming an entrepreneur?

They are under-rated.

Cashing in

post it note
Self-evident and irrefutable are my wheelhouse.

 

How old are you?

How much experience?

Are you cashing in?

Theoretically, each of us ought to be able to write a big check. After all, we have spent a lifetime honing our skills.

Here’s what the post-it says:

My model is based on what should be self-evident. If it’s not, i’m not going to try to convince you.

US Marine battle strategy.

What’s today’s fire index?

Fall wildflowers
A few days ago walking to an “interview”. The door caught my eye.

 

When we walk out our door into the busy world each morning, what’s on our mind that inspires us to no end?

Is it one thing all day long or a series of small things, constantly changing before our very eyes.

Is it the morning sun illuminating the flowering weeds next to the unmaintained street?

Is it the decision to slow the pace of life down and walk instead of drive?

Is it the decision to fly all day to meet someone versus just speaking on the phone?

The answer, it would seem, is always “Yes”.

Usian Bolt and personal Leadership lessons

2015 World Championships 100m final
One one-hundredth of a second between gold and silver

 

While there where four Americans in yesterday’s 2015 World Championships 100 meter final, i was rooting for a Jamaican.

It doesn’t make me unpatriotic.

It makes me human.

Maybe that’s part of our challenge, we worry about how things have been done in the past.

What if sports were more about what’s possible (in this case winning three consecutive world championship titles) than what country we root for?

The thing about Usain Bolt is that he’s a great human being.

It’s easy for me to forget he’s a Jamaican. In fact, where he’s from doesn’t interest me.

His ability to become a category of one is the real story.

It inspires entrepreneurs and startups to believe that there is hope.

Hope is key.

One world.

One color.

One goal.

Peace.
