Great leaders ask scary questions because no one else will do this one thing

Great leaders ask scary questions because no one else will do this one thing.

No one else will ask the same scary question(s) over, and over, and over.

And over.

Why?

Because it’s human nature to think about scary questions… but only once.

And never formulate a transformational answer worthy of changing us.

Why?

Because that’s the status quo of the industrial age’s pinnacle command – do what you’re told.

As if Baby Boomers need a reminder for this money BFO

As if Baby Boomers need a reminder for this money BFO – blinding flash of the obvious.

The odds are overwhelming that I’ll fail.

This is the real test. Tenacity and perseverance.

One of the greatest, eye-opening experiences a business professional can ever have is starting their own business. You learn first-hand the things only a real, hard-working entrepreneur knows.

Forget text book theory and arm-chair quarterback decisions. They don’t exist! When it’s your money, time and ultimately – success or failure – everything you’ve ever learned comes into question. Everything is a test.

The last time he cut his hair was 15 years ago – there is neither subtlety, nuance, nor simplicity

 

Are nuance and subtlety the overlooked keys to success? Seth Godin even goes as far as to say simplicity may be wrongly replacing nuance. Interesting.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Come back tomorrow. Running out of time to get all five blogs done before the transformational work begins at Disney World.

Don’t want to do two days in a row of blogging at 9pm.

Note: It’s quite liberating to write a post that would make the “how-to-blog-effectively” folks cringe. You guys get that.

It’s one of my favorite things about all of you.

Be well, and be amazing today!
