Book and keynote notes, work

A clear, concise, compelling vision is the key to desire.

Cold and hungry

Jeff Noel blog post screen shot
Wrote this seven months ago. It published recently.

As the story goes, a well-established-career Willie Nelson was asked why he wasn’t writing classic songs like he used to.

He replied, “When I wrote those great songs I was cold and hungry. I’m not cold and hungry anymore.”

Haves and wants, work

Most people have a job.

Most people do not have freedom.

Most people want freedom.

What is your desired Organizational accomplishment level?

Three flip charts for brainstorming
Brainstorming.

This post is a repeat of today’s first post. Why? Repetition helps us learn.

Do the reps.

From this short list, pick the level number you desire for your Organizational Vibrancy, using a 5k runner analogy:

  1. Olympic Gold
  2. Olympic podium
  3. Olympic finals
  4. Olympic Team USA, qualify
  5. Olympic Trials, qualify
  6. Nationals Gold
  7. Nationals podium
  8. Nationals finals
  9. Nationals, qualify
  10. College Varsity Team

Can make this list more nuanced, and definitely add more layers. But want to stop at 10 general layers.

Note the obvious difference in common sense effort, dedication, and motivation required to jump from one level up to the next.

And the jump from level 10 to level one is exponential.

Proof is in the conduct

Being eager to learn is not the same as continuously improving. Desire must equal action. What are you reading/learning now and what did you just finish reading/learning? Where are you posting fresh, vibrant, inspiring content? One doesn’t have to approach life ambitiously, but if you are ambitious in a competitive industry, you have to want it more than everyone else. Prove that in how you conduct yourself.
