Of course business is complicated

airport crowd — One of them is a Disney executive and unable to travel freely, simply because the job demands his on-site presence. The others are on a 10th-grade trip to San Francisco.

Of course business is complicated, which is why we must fight like heck to simplify everything.

A shared vision isn’t difficult to visualize

100 meter high school race — They all have the same vision.

They all have the same general vision – to run a PR.

And in the back of their minds a secondary vision – to win the heat and move to the finals.

Pretty simple really.

A vision is a picture of the future that is better than now, much better.

My vision for you?

To be part of a community that works hard to encourage each other, have fun, and improve.

i was going to say no, twice

(No photo today)

i was going to say no, twice.

First, the timing was awful. Their date is in the middle of a window where i “refuse” to accept more business.

But i didn’t say no.

Second, the budget was way too low.

From not saying no (twice), they’ve raised their fee and our goal is to contract an additional keynote with advance payment as my incentive to lower the first price.

How did Uber become a thing?

Uber choices — Quickly learned you have choices.

Uber app map — Delightfully surprised to learn you see where your driver is relative to your location.

Uber receipt — Loved the automatic email with receipt.

How did Uber become a thing?

The people and the organizations that live out each day “based on possibility” seem to get better when they do one thing others don’t do:

They ask better questions.

My Uber driver shared with me (because i asked a better question) that Uber originally began as a black car (limo-type) service in San Francisco. It was not some grand change-the-world revelation. But it kept evolving.

Daring to venture into uncharted territory happens one small step at a time.

Uber has a history.

It’s a slow and steady history that was written one small, radical-departure-decision-from-status-quo at a time. One “better question” at a time.

Questions based on possibility.
