Dear Son, can trying not so hard be a breakthrough?

i’ve always believed this to be true, but am not sure i can recall the last time it felt real – felt transformational.

Letting go of any motive that isn’t genuine.

i continue to write because i’ve discovered how much it transforms me – one single, solitary day (step) at a time.

i began writing seven years ago because i thought it was the best way to be a successful speaker.

Yes.

But now i see why, and it is not for the reasons i originally thought.

The harder i work, the luckier i get. Seems so anyway.

No one wants to hear this

No one wants to do the deep thinking and have the heavy discussions about building or maintaining an infrastructure.

Why?

Because it’s too much work, especially the implementation and change (transformation) part.

So we wait and do nothing – the twin siblings of diseased organizational culture.

Think for a moment about trying to change a culture without the proper infrastructure.

Insight: Creating infrastructure is what working at Disney has polished me to do better than anyone in this space. i know the secret formulas. And what works and doesn’t work in implementing them.

How?

From working inside Disney for 30+ years, including the final 15 years at Disney Institute working with over 2,000 clients (and one-million+ people), including many of the world’s most famous brands.

Find a different career lane.

If it feels like a rat race, it is.

Don’t like it?

Change.

The slowest in promising

iPhone calculator
11,640 blog posts plus today’s five equals 11,645 posts since the first day.

 

The slowest in promising, are the most faithful in delivering.

Do not fear going slow, fear standing still.

Note: Tack on 500 additional posts that have gone live since this post was written 100 days ago…12,140 posts posted…plus another 500 written and scheduled to post for the next 100 days…12,640 posts written. Humbled by the magnitude of “one foot in front of the other.

i wanted to change the world

i wanted to change the world.

Most American professionals have similar feelings.

Many Americans dream of their own entrepreneurial business.

So in 2014 i retired, to begin in earnest, as an entrepreneur.

It was something i wanted to do ‘someday’ (photo above).

This train of thought continues with “i always feel behind” at the next Blog
