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.

Want to be your own demise?

change quote
Is being uncomfortable an integral part of your comfort zone.

 

 

There is never a right time to do a difficult thing?

We believe what we want to believe.

This is dangerous.

May i submit the paradox?

There is always a right time to do a difficult thing.

Cultural rules apply to people in power before they are applied to those without power.

Working with CEO’s and Executive teams, this is literally the most challenging transformation.

Why?

Because executives are too busy to change.

What’s your impossible?

Pets at Disney Resorts
Big news yesterday for dog lovers.

 

 

Delta auto boarding pass announcement
One might ask, “Why did this take so long? And why isn’t every airline doing it?”

 

 

What’s your impossible?

It’s only impossible until the first person does it.

It makes perfect sense.

Next time i fly Delta, instead of going online and checking in myself, Delta will automatically do it and text me the boarding pass – so i don’t have to do a thing.

Turn the great money down, it’s not worth it

Barber shop near Disney
Yesterday, waiting for a haircut. Vince Lombardi’s photo made me think.

 

Vince Lombardi photo
Paraphrased: “Gentlemen, we will chase perfection and in doing so we’ll catch excellence.”

 

In my business, i steer clear of desperate organizations, even when they are willing to pay a premium.

Why?

Because it’s just not worth it.

And by the way, it’s very tempting – for about five seconds.

Weirdly, the same feeling is seeping into my personal life.

Friends, Family – some of them are digging themselves into a hole so deep, i don’t have a clue how to help them.

My focus is listed on my business cards…

“Speeches and Advising for organizations that want to change the world.”

Not everyone wants a dent in our Universe

Being bold, courageous, and seeing farther out is rare.

Some find it priceless.

Because they want to live there.

Ironically, most don’t find it valuable.

Why?

Because it scares them to think about living differently then now.

Just remember who you serve.

And know that the ripple effect from you is serving them well, serves many well.
