Die with zero, work

Die With Zero is a book i heard about from a social media post while waking up this morning.

In summary it promotes dying rich with experiences, not rich with money.

To professionally (career) die with zero, to me, is to die with zero wishes to have had more passion and commitment at work.

Nature’s excellent leadership

33-second video: We named this spot ‘Periwinkle Island’. The idea came from Sanibel Island’s Periwinkle Way, highlighted in yellow below….

Upper right red arrow is our route over the Sanibel Causeway. The Causeway is 3 miles long. Leaving the Florida mainland is always a small thrill because we will be living on an island for the next week. The first island intersection is Periwinkle Way. We hang a right to drive to Mitchell’s SandCastles at the end of the second red arrow.

The most important part of leadership is the leader’s vision. Vision is applied at home too. Even for a flower bed. We planted store-bought plants last year. Flowers go to seed (just like weeds). Left unchecked, they multiply. That’s my vision. We picked periwinkles because they’re in our top three favorite Florida flowers.

Every organization has five foundational pillars.

Each pillar has several architectural blueprints, totaling 19 between the five pillars.

Leadership is the first pillar and vision is the first architectural blueprint.

It’s a lot easier to lead and a lot easier for people to follow when everyone is clear about why you exist, where you’re going, and why that’s important.

The thing with Nature is that it was here long before humans.

So long before humans it’s incomprehensible how long before.

Nature leads the way the cosmos sees fit.

i have a Nature theory from six decades studying it.

Nature takes care of itself.

In its own time.

In its own way.

Rejuvenation, adaptation, evolution.

This is how i know Periwinkle Island will flourish when the rains come.

There’s a catch though. i have to keep the ‘weeds’ (nature’s landscape shapers) from choking out the periwinkles. i’m actually trying to influence Nature so the Periwinkles choke out the ‘weeds’.

Note: Sanibel’s Periwinkle Way is prolifically lined with Palm trees and Periwinkle ‘weeds’, everywhere.

Port Canaveral return 7am, work

voice message transcript screenshot
A nice message to get this morning at home. Unclear why it didn’t come through on the ship.

Repeat clients are the best.

Why?

Because they’ve seen you, heard you, and trust you.

Trust is the key.

It is the highest honor any brand can receive.
