Business owners must make decisions that non-business owners will never face.

The next time you are tempted to be an arm-chair quarterback about business decisions, ask yourself one question, “How am i qualified to question business decisions when i’ve never run a successful business?”

An armchair quarterback, in case you don’t know, criticizes what a quarterback didn’t do and should have done. And the critique is launched from a comfy living room chair with the benefit of multiple wide-screen camera angles and instant replay.

And we all have blind spots about how other people’s lives are similarly played out. 

 PS. Everyone is going through a hell no one else knows about.

Let the morning bring abundance

Naval podcast Tim ferris
Listened (pick episode 136) while walking to and from the gym yesterday.

 

Sanibel weather
Today is Thursday.

 

Writing every day is such a fine way to center my thoughts on Thanksgiving.

Giving thanks.

To start a day without this would feel like a punishment – an undeserved imprisonment.

This post has the link to the Tim Ferris Podcast with Naval. It’s 50+ minutes. One of the most intriguing podcasts i’ve ever heard.

If i were you, i’d do myself a favor (go to episode #136) .

PS. This morning’s sunrise was inspiring.

Leadership and parenting are synonymous

“What, do you think money grows on trees?” You probably heard that statement at least once from your parents.

 

Leadership and parenting are synonymous.

You must be a leader as a parent.

And while you aren’t a parent as a business leader, hardly a day goes by that you don’t feel like you’re using parenting skills on your adult workers.

Leadership is about creating opportunity

Glacier Summer cold front
Summer cold front brought a unique opportunity for this week’s visitors.

 

Leadership is about creating opportunity.

Things in life will either go better than you expect or worse than you expect.

No one has a crystal ball to foresee how life will turn out, so we compensate with imagination, dreams, and hopes.

The good news is things often go better than we expect.

The other good news is that we have a choice – to choose opportunity or to choose defeat.

The unusually early cold front brought snow, rain, clouds and lingering cold temperatures.

i chose to see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Glacier in a special-treat way.

Are you excited enough about it to talk openly?

michelangelo quote
Yesterday at High School. Set the bar high when it comes to your death.

 

Are you excited enough about death to talk openly?

Isn’t this one of our responsibilities with our personal leadership – as CEO of You, Inc?

To be prepared.

Right?

We’ve learned to not talk about it – passed down from one generation to the next.

It’s like public speaking, it scares the heck out of everyone who’s not experienced with it.

Proverbial, and literally predictable “stick your head in the sand” life event.
