Do what you love, mileage may vary

When i signed in on volunteer sign in sheet 24 hours ago, i had no idea of the carnage. It’s my smiley face with Mickey Mouse Ears hat.

 

Do what you love, mileage may vary.

Getting so close to a breakthrough i can taste it.

Ups and downs.

Highs and lows.

Certainty, then uncertainty.

Lucky breaks, then setbacks, and vice versa.

It’s that notion that few get to see with their own eyes. The notion of getting up one more time after you’ve fallen.

It’s hard to be beat someone who refuses to quit.

PS. The focus is my growing business, but in reality, this is also a metaphor for America picking itself back up after yesterday.

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.

Hope is a great strategy but a poor tactic.

Leadership is hope’s super power.

Does leadership get better?

 

(note: this post was written 100 days ago on March 20, and edited this morning)

A new era of leadership begins for many people.

Working at Walt Disney World for 30 years, my number of gay and lesbian friends is countless. Today’s youth are so much luckier to be growing up in today’s more open and accepting world than my colleagues in the video.

Yesterday.

 

Everything begins with personal leadership. Life is so incredibly challenging. And we are both broken, and beautiful. We hope, we doubt. We triumph, we fail.

The circle of life.

One day, one moment at a time.

Keep swinging for the fence.

Self employed sounded so lame

(photo: As a species, we are slothful, and ridiculously easy to sell false hope to)

Less than 24 hours ago the substitute dental hygienist (filling in) asked, “What do you?”

Only the second day into retirement no one had asked this question yet so there was no thought about an elevator speech.

So it sounded like this, “Self-employed.”

Ha.

Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.
– Peter Drucker

Add another to-do to the checklist – craft compelling elevator pitch.

And check one off – make a courageous decision.
