Yesterday Jody Maberry had me on his Podcast as a Guest.

We recorded 30 minutes of conversation.

It debuts in one week on March 22, 2016.

i’ve never done a Podcast before and didn’t know what we were going to talk about.

Jody simply asked questions about Disney and i answered.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

The email came in while driving from Spring Grove to Allentown

The gift of an ordinary day is a leader’s greatest asset.

Time.

And then spending that magnificent asset in a balanced, powerful, and fun way.

Yesterday while in Allentown, Pennsylvania, i was able to respond to a Speakers Bureau executive with answers to important questions for him and his client.

Yes, we are on vacation. Yes, we had just arrived for a few days to stay and visit.

In the explanation to my Mother-In-Law, my wife asked me to share with her how my business model works.

Surreal to hear it come out of my mouth.

Additionally, earlier yesterday morning, we gifted a 77-year old with a MacBook Air. A hand-me-down, but new to her. It compliments her iPhone 6. With iCloud, her world become more exciting, confident, and safe.

Leadership happens all day, everyday.

And there are no boundaries for doing work that matters.

Personal leadership involves doing things that are invisible to most

Personal leadership involves doing things that are invisible to most. In the corporate world, donating money, volunteering time, hosting fundraisers, and a list of other common ways to give back, are all marketed very carefully to the public.

Why?

Because it’s a great public relations strategy.

To do it invisibly would be considered a missed opportunity.

Oh well.

Note: The readership here, in the big picture, is so small, it’s the equivalent to it never happening.

Putting yourself in the path of progress increases your value

Putting yourself in the path of progress increases your value when it comes to real estate.

It’s the same with leadership and vision.

Envisioning the future and taking calculated risks to prepare for the opportunity to be in a great position requires something special.

Patience, determination, and preparation.

The long way eventually becomes the short cut.

Here’s to hoping you have a clear concise, and compelling personal vision for 2016.

My vision has always revolved around working in Central Florida. Having lots of frequent flier status (like in the past) is not something i’m interested in. In 2015, had only one engagement outside of Florida.
