Ever work invisibly on a game changing idea?

Quote about being a visionary
Photo: an hour ago from a friend’s Facebook update.

 

Have been working invisibly for the past week to create the right questions and the right vision to help someone who wants to change things.

My mission is to convince him to take an expensive risk that has no guarantee.

Why would anyone spend either side of $250k for something that cannot be guaranteed to work?

Why?

Because they want to become the category, not be the best in a category.

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.

If we do nothing, we know what to expect.

The value proposition for seeing things differently

Bernadette Jiwa speaking at Authority Rainmaker 2015
Bernadette Jiwa speaking at Authority Rainmaker 2015 last week.

 

The email from a former client came through while working, about 1pm yesterday.

“Time for a quick call today?”

“Sure.”

When you do the right things for the right reasons and see profit as the reward, not the goal, Magic happens.

PS. Update 100 days later (today) a speaking contract came out of this conversation.

Business trifecta at Authority Rainmaker

Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver
Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver, yesterday.

 

Business trifecta at Authority Rainmaker.

  1. Amazing speakers.
  2. Amazing event/venue.
  3. Amazing attendees.

It was the last one that was an aha moment though.

The crowd.

The other busy, ambitious people.

Those people.

They were beyond amazing.

What’s the advantage of hiring a Disney Institute Customer Service Speaker?

Disney Institute Customer Service Speakers
The advantage is unmatched intimacy and experience.

 

Where do we find great business ideas in a sea of time-tested information?

While cleaning yesterday, found two old notes written on a post-it:

  1. Consulting ROI.
  2. Disney Institute (DI) Chamber of Commerce.

Unsure of the first one’s meaning. Can guess it’s about how you convince a client your high price is worth it. The second is a spin off of what DI already does with their Sponsorship Series.

What’s the advantage of hiring a Disney Institute Customer Service Speaker?

The advantage is intimacy.

Life is not fair

Orlando Disney Customer Service Speakers

 

(photo: MBA student’s daily homework.)

A graduating MBA student asked for advice because she is encountering one dead end after another.

But she’s smart because she realizes there are many other candidates with MBA’s.

An MBA doesn’t open the door for someone to come waltzing in.

Not fair is it?

Another option is to actually start your own business and administer it. A self-made MBA.

Nothing like the real thing to put things in perspective.

And yes, life is not fair.

The amount of work it takes to get picked is unfair.

Get used to it.

Because if you want something as badly as you want your next breathe, now is your time.
