Only 364 days left to gather more business

The little red dot says there are still 364 days of business left this year.

 

My cousin asked how business was going yesterday, January 1. In hind sight, i wish i hadn’t gone on such a riff giving him so many specifics; maybe a simple, “It’s going really well.”, would have sufficed:

  • One signed Keynote speech contract
  • One Keynote speech contract awaiting signature
  • Two Keynote contracts looking very good
  • A verbal agreement for a 1.5 day engagement, with additional contract layers probable
  • Another client getting closer to a multi-layered cultural transformation engagement
  • And finally, several big, former Disney Institute fans who are seriously interested in working together this year

Riff over.

With the courage and strength to push humility aside…

Disney is a category of one. Meaning there is no equal. Not even a close runner-up.

The first work week as a small business entrepreneur has been mind blowingly self reflective.

With the strength and courage to push humility aside, as painful as that is, it’s easy to conclude beyond a shadow of a doubt there is no other professional speaker with the depth and breath of jungle jeff.

Humbled by the career aging process.

Everyone at Brookview and Cedarbrook has a story.

Each one contributing to society in their own unique way.

And now, it’s a bit like an unsolved mystery. No one knows. Decent chance no one cares.

What does this mean to us working folk?

Dude, just keep it to yourself

The wonder of it all is quite remarkable

 

Note to self: you have a very strange sense of remarkable dwelling within you. It mostly feels like something that only happens to rare, fortunate, hard working individuals.

You have been incredibly faithful in following your dream.

Please do not back down from this feeling, nor try to downplay it.

But keep it to yourself, ok?
