Don’t let high stakes alter your values
When the stakes are high, so are our emotions. Don’t let high stakes alter our values. No compromising, even if it looks like we might lose.
Lose with dignity.
Win with humility and gratitude.

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.

Speak like you mean it, and be willing to walk away
Began 25 minutes behind schedule and ran over my time by one minute, a net loss of 24 minutes. Never complained. Saw it coming and adapted on the fly. This is what a professional speaker does.
Did the client or the audience have any idea?
Certainly not the audience.
Just another day of doing work that matters.
Coincidently, received an email from a different client with great news. The Speakers Bureau’s client agreed to remove their video taping request.
i was willing to walk away from a big contract, rather than compromise my values.

Every entrepreneur comes face to face with this, even John Lasseter
Every entreprenuer comes face to face with this.
Interim ideals and values.
So challenging to stay true to the initial vision when things are being birthed.
And then with the growing pains.
We can surely come back to our ideals and values once we get established and settled?
Maybe not.
By then, our ideals and values will already be defined. Probably for good.
Rare when our ideals and values are not compromised from the very beginning.
