i begin by disrupting my deeply-engrained habits.

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.

When we hold on to cultural norms, what are we really holding on to?
Tradition? Values?
Comfort? Consistency?
A recent blog post from a famous company suggests we be bold.
Bold can get you in trouble.
It can also change things.
Everything.
And bold can become a competitive advantage.
For example, bold can be retiring early and launching something the world needs but has given up on.

How brave are you?
The typical corporate meeting were leadership isn’t viewed as effective. Survey results prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
So the leadership goes on a retreat, comes back all fired up, and empowers people to be brave and bold.
Seriously?
Just like that?
Flip a switch and trust is commonplace?
Guess again.
No?

The title here will ruffle some feathers and simultaneously, get others to cheer. Why? Because, as the 1960’s psychedelic rock band The Doors summed up in one of their songs, “People are strange.”
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. You get the point.
So how does working seven days a week lend itself to balance?
First, the big picture intent is to NOT work seven days a week. When the early pioneering Americans had a vison to become farmers, they spent countless hours clearing the land. We can’t even comprehend the hardships they endured.
Every time I fly and look out the window, I imagine America, long before it was tamed – covered with trees and forests for as far as the eye can see.
What I’m doing now, working seven days a week is this:
The reason some succeed over others, is that successful people outwork the others. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s a basic survival of the fittest, of the smartest, of the most creative, etc.
So, in summary, I’m clearing a hostile land, cutting down trees, digging up roots, making piles to burn, removing boulders, caring for sick animals, hunting for food, building shelter from the seasonally harsh climate, dealing with the emotional loss of my home state or mother country, protecting my family from wild animals and unknown diseases.
So really, if you don’t come from a lineage of hand-me-down success or riches, you have got to out work the competition.
Don’t beleive me? Try and do it any other way.
