The one thing we often overlook even though it’s critical to our success is feedback, especially… when we CRUSH it!

An email the account manager sent to her leadership team announced that their client didn’t think the speaker could top last year’s stellar keynote.

Trust your gut and other common sense advice – be in front of the learning curve

 

Taking risks before others do is scary.

Most of what we’re afraid of never happens.

Early adopters are ahead of the general learning curve.

A good place to be to build confidence.

The road to excellence has no finish line.

The most over looked success advice is at our disposal

jeff noel's early blogs
The bar is never high enough. Impossible is for amateurs.

 

The most over looked success advice is at our disposal:

Thinking for ourselves.

Of course this can be scary, uncertain, and career limiting.

So can relying on others for courage, confidence, and comfort.

Pave our own way. It’s free.

A game changer.

I only know this because writing forces me the writer to make one of two choices:

  1. Look for good quotes
  2. Become quotable

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

If we slow down enough to take a decent inventory, we should come to realize, we are amazing.

How often do we underestimate our ability? We really so rarely think about this. And it costs us dearly.

An “aha” moment last night watching a portion of American Idol, when judge Keith Urban told a contestant to stop under estimating his voice. The judges see his potential, but the contestant doesn’t.

He’s a great singer, but doubts he is phenomenal.

And this applies to each of us as well.
