It’s your responsibility to set yourself on fire

Steve Jobs Mid Life Celebration phone
Did Steve Jobs have a premonition about Mid Life Celebration?

 

It’s your responsibility to set yourself on fire.

Period.

If you’re on fire with the passion to do excellent work, congratulations. And thank the CEO of You, Inc.

If you’re not on fire with the passion to do excellent work, good luck with influencing the CEO of You, Inc. You can’t fire her.

It’s really critical to say the obvious.

Anyone who has succeed at this has done so because of one reason. They have refused to let bullcrap excuses – the ones we all have – determine their destiny.

Highest and best use of your 401k assets?

Many neglect their fiscal responsibilities. The time to worry about your future is when you don’t need to.

Meeting with Wells Fargo this morning to discuss rolling over the Disney 401k, managed by Fidelity Investments.

Fidelity would like it to keep it in the family – rollover the corporate 401k into a different Fidelity investment opportunity. This would eliminate any (albeit remote) possibility of a “claw back‘.

While claw backs are highly unlikely with a company like Disney, there are no guarantees.

There have been real life examples where companies have collapsed (remember Enron) and 401k nest eggs destroyed.

The notion that we are each the CEO of You, Inc. is such a powerful notion.

Figuratively or in reality.

It’s ours.

No one else owns it.

We know this.

Yet we wait. Mostly.

So.

Stop.

Waiting.

Take another step forward today.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of leadership is being able to provide others with the same type of game changing opportunities that we were blessed with.

In the giving we receive.

Servant leadership.

Looks good on paper, but can we do it without thinking about it?

Workplace (and personal) culture is what we think and do, without thinking.

Being intentional is the most important characteristic determining whether your personal culture works for you or against you.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.
