Brave enough at work?

Congrats on being brave enough at work to walk away. It took decades to reach a confident maturity. Patience is a virtue. 

Crazy thing though, you were never wanting to leave. 

Karma attracts bravery if you are brave. 

Be brave. 

And patient. 

And, present.

Be a great CEO

This place is a bucket list location for many. 

Fascinating to watch many tourists search for “I was here” souvenirs. That was me/us for several decades.

Nowadays, it is experiences, photos, and memories we seek. 

Wearing a Polebridge shirt or hat is intended to signal something to others.

Status?

Adventurous spirit?

Distaste for traditional, popular tourist destinations?

All of the above?

Only you can decide. And you should decide, you’re in charge of everything.

Trading value instead of time

Exchanging your time for money is a “Soul” draining habit. There are exceptions. You are probably not one of them.

What’s stopping you from becoming an artist?

What’s stopping you from trading time for money?

What’s stopping you from charging for your value instead of your time?

What’s stopping you from being in charge of your career?

Blinding flash of the obvious…Doubt, fear, fixed-mindset.

Told ya

42 degrees at our Motel, at 3,200’.
  • Thirty-four miles later, an hour drive up to 6,600’ reveals 33 degrees at trailhead.  
  • Even waiting until after 9am, parts of trail are ice-covered.
  • Hidden Lake Trail is closed from the (popular) overlook down to the lake. Bears are frequenting. 
Order iPhone 13 and go hiking.

Adversity doesn’t develop character, it reveals it. Planning is great. Adapting is next-level planning. Adapting is on-the-spot planning.

Margin

We all had margin in our schedule to do a six mile hike. Turns out we had enough margin for a 10-miler too. 

Does your calendar own you or do you own your calendar?

Eventually, there’s only one correct answer.

Don’t regret never saying the right answer.
