I See A Story Everywhere, In Everything
I See A Story Everywhere, In Everything

Last week I posted about an entrepreneurial idea.

What if everything you did could be considered a business expense?

My Accountant friend looked at me, while we were jogging, as if I had lost my mind.

I can’t expense a hair cut, but what if the whole experience was part of some bigger picture? A look at an ordinary life, trying to change the world, one blog post at a time?

People said Napster’s business model would fail, plus, they said, it was illegal.

Anyone subscribe to Napster or Rhapsody music service?

Just because no one has done it and everyone says it’s not legal, doesn’t mean the world (or one lone soul) isn’t ready to embrace it.

Get Used To It

Impossible is for amateurs.

Impossible is nothing.

If you’re goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

People will call you crazy. Get used to it.

People will tell you it can’t be done. Get used to it.

You’ll want to quit chasing your crazy, impossible goals. Don’t get used to it.

Do you come from humble beginnings and are self-made? Or, do you come from an established bloodline where wealth is already part of your DNA?

Recently, I overheard my wife and son (9) having a conversation about before he was born and what life was like before we had him, and even before we lived in our current home (18 years now).

Cheryl was explaining how, in our first “starter” home, we didn’t have any furniture and slept on the floor in sleeping bags for a year. We had one car and lived 30 miles from Disney, where we worked as brand new Cast Members in 1984.

Guess who got the car?

“So Daddy rode his bicycle to work every day, 30 miles, one-way, to Disney’s Contemporary Resort…”
