Heading to the midwest this morning to help 1,000+ people think, smile, and feel grateful. It’s mission work to share reveal exceptional business wisdom from a man I’ve studied all my life and have the privilege to work for – the father of modern day creativity.

I Didn’t Get Clarification Yesterday Either

Okay, not the real Buddha, but close enough to inspire us.

Big dreamers make many promises to themselves, because so much needs to be done to reach big goals. The bigger the dream, the greater the potential failure and pain.

He Said I Make A Lot Of Promises. Uh oh!

January 21, 2012....picture perfect central Florida day...
Almost as good as a deserted island...
There's a time and a place for everything (but no definitive guide).

Yesterday while basking in the warm Florida sunshine and warm company of fellow Scouts, my Son told me I make a lot of promises. This frightened me. A lot. He didn’t say I keep a lot of promises.

All Day, Every Day

Beaumont, Texas this week. Next week, Disney World.
Spent the day "here" yesterday, doing work that mattered.

As a professional speaker, it’s my job to deliver excellence all day, every day.

I’ll even be so bold as to say it’s everyone’s job, no matter their occupation, to do the exact same.
