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.

No.

Not in the past 30 years did Cheryl and i have lunch together. Countless dinners at Disney, but never lunch. Why? The pace is fast at Disney. Outsiders have no idea.

We also did not have lunch together a few days ago after the first paying, post Disney speaking gig.

Made an honest attempt. But with Cheryl being out sick all week, it made a really good argument for staying in the office.

In hindsight, i could have brought lunch into her office.

Live and learn.

Friendly reminder to your CEO. Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.

Too bad, so sad is up to you

“How bad do you want it” is not a rhetorical question.

Do not shrink your dreams to allow others to remain in their comfort zone.

And do not procrastinate because you’re hoping others will eventually agree or approve.
