Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Thursday night our son(9) and I were enjoying the pool as the hot Florida sun was preparing to set.
As I floated on the raft, our conversation turned to business and I was explaining the money quadrant in the Mid Life Celebration model.
Listening to the echo of my own voice, I had to go inside and write this down:
“I thought I was worried about alienating myself from my friends. Turns out I was worried about whether I was right or wrong.”
Are you familiar with the new business card?
It’s no longer a small rectangular piece of card stock.
Bet you don’t have a clue.
Most people don’t.
I didn’t either.
Until a year ago.
Then the epiphany.
Do you celebrate anything this time of year? Some do and some don’t. No worries.
Today’s post is the conclusion from yesterday’s promise to reveal an important truth. Discovering it is like receiving a very special gift.
Spirituality is simply one of many diversity layers we should all respect, appreciate, value and encourage.
One Christmas tradition that many (not all) participate in is gift giving.
My Family celebrates Christmas and the birth of Jesus. Needed to tell you that so I can tell you this.
And here is my gift to you.
The only thing that can stop you is also deceptively simple.
And this thing that can stop you is so strong, a thousand warriors can not overcome this one lone obstacle.
You.
Merry Christmas.
First of all, thanks for coming back. Can you believe today is Christmas eve?
Do you already now what I’m going to say?
It’s simple. Deceptively simple.
The number one thing to do is to create a compelling vision. Period.
Compelling.
Not long winded. Not fancy. No big words.
It must also be impossible. And it must be for some bigger purpose, meaning, not for yourself.
When you learn how to harness this powerful leadership success tip, there is nothing that can stop you. Nothing.
Well, hold on, there is one thing. Do you know what it is?
Tomorrow is Christmas day and it’ll be my gift to you.
Driving to Church last Sunday, it hit me. An epiphany. Not a Christian epiphany, a corporate epiphany.
Do you ever wonder why some succeed and some don’t? Or wonder why some achieve excellence and others remain behind, being good or very good?
The secret? It’s so simple that most of us, myself included, bypass it or drastically discount it.
If you’ve ever read Good to Great or heard from others who’ve described what the bestselling business book is about, you know that good is the enemy of great.
And because of this, there’s one simple technique that we can all learn from history. And I’ll share it with you first thing tomorrow. Want to guess what it is?
