First impulse was to walk away without a second thought

Will this insignificant business opportunity be significant?

First impulse was to walk away without a second thought.

Why?

Because the fee is ridiculously low.

What the vendor is offering in exchange for four days of work isn’t even remotely close to what i charge for a 60-90 minute Keynote speech.

So i started asking, “What intangible benefit(s) is disguised behind the price tag?”

Suddenly, i became intrigued.

This will prepare me for next year

Business leadership starts with personal victories (and failures).

Going to have to use oral pills to accomplish what monthly injections used to accomplish.

Springtime, and pollen season, in Orlando begins late January or early February. Today is February 5.

Will be able to resume weekly injections in March.

This will prepare me for next year.

This year however, i’ll have to rely on pills.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Beauty is being true to yourself, by the way.

We are faced with two blatantly obvious choices

Only in leaving can we discover the Magic we say we believe in. Note: Disney Retiree ID.

 

If we really believe we are worth more than we are being paid, and it’s been this way for a long, long time, we are faced with two blatantly obvious choices.

Stay, and wallow in our misery.

Leave, and prove it.

Every entrepreneur comes face to face with this, even John Lasseter

Yesterday.

 

Every entreprenuer comes face to face with this.

Interim ideals and values.

So challenging to stay true to the initial vision when things are being birthed.

And then with the growing pains.

We can surely come back to our ideals and values once we get established and settled?

Maybe not.

By then, our ideals and values will already be defined. Probably for good.

Rare when our ideals and values are not compromised from the very beginning.
