Category: What Are You Waiting For?

Leadership is about seeing a future that’s not only better…

We left (Sept 29) just before conditions made visiting Logan Pass unsafe.

 

Leadership is about seeing a future that’s not only better than now but much better than now.

Have you planned for your death and all that needs to be done before, during, and after you die?

If you say, “Yes”, you are a leader.

If you say, “No”, you may still be a leader, yet you are neglecting one of your biggest responsibilities.

There’s a video to inspire a catalytic moment to “go” at the HQ blog (link below)…

The book Mid Life Celebration: rethink • reprioritize • recommit

Disney Keynote Speaker
Sent a bunch of postcards yesterday. Snapped this just before putting them in the mailbox. They are laid out on the road. Did a second photograph of the flip side to remind me who i’ve sent cards to.

 

The book Mid Life Celebration: rethink • reprioritize • recommit is the printed version of my “last lecture”.

It’s a life guide for our son in case something bad ever happens to me and the book provides a documented resource filled with answers to questions he might want to ask his dad.

The Glaciers will be gone from Glacier soon

Glacier National Park history
Social media screenshot recently. Marketing photo from the 1930’s to encourage women to visit Glacier. Pictured are Salamander and Grinnell glaciers.

 

The Glaciers will be gone from Glacier soon.

Anything smaller than 25 acres and less than 100 feet thick disqualifies them from being glaciers.

This isn’t what drives me to visit.

But the fact that the remaining 25 glaciers (there were 150 glaciers 150 years ago) will be gone in a few years is a bonus opportunity.

Stop thinking something better is next

diet
Donut or apple?  Also, this image is a photo, not a video.

 

i’d love to get you to .think .differently

To take your new thinking – those thoughts about potentially scalable, remarkable, and game-changing insights – to take them to a noble place.

And then.

To stop thinking.

Stop thinking something better is next.

Stop.

Thinking.

Start.

Doing.

Better to act on your thinking and create transformation.

Better to do ‘80% and go’ then wait for every “i” to be dotted and every “t” to be crossed.

(analysis paralysis)

Standing still – just thinking new thoughts.

To believe you know a new and stunning insight.

It’s not enough.

Act.

Go.

Being busy lets you do this one thing to literal perfection

interesting signs in Philadelphia
Random sign caught my eye.

 

Being busy lets you do this one thing to literal perfection.

Hide from your mission and purpose in life.

First, you refuse to be clear, concise, and compelling about your purpose.

Second, (insidiously) without clarity, you hide from your real work – the risky stuff that may not work – the stuff that makes others uncomfortable – but if it worked, it would triumphantly change everything.

Because you aren’t clear, you and everyone else, can’t tell what success looks like.

Hiding.

Safe.

Can’t be a failure, right?

Can’t see the bullseye, so missing it goes unnoticed.

Safe.

We like safe.

Safety adds insult to injury.

Without clarity, you lose all sense of urgency.

Without urgency, distraction trumps focus.

Without focus and urgency, being busy comforts you.

And exhausts you.

And everyone around you.
