Overachieving and delusional sounds about right

Disney Conference Keynote Speakers

A few days ago, our 2017 income taxes were filed.

Joyce, our tax preparer since 2010, and i reminisced how the first six years my business didn’t make a dime. However, i was still full-time at Disney and had a steady salary.

And this is significant because i was afraid the IRS would think i wasn’t serious – just another fool who thought they had something special the world would pay a lot of money for.

Perhaps i was a fool in more ways than one – delusional writer and small business entrepreneur.

Staggering run of reading

Disney autograph book
Donna Flanagin, i need your autograph the next time i see you.

 

Perhaps the only thing that staggers my mind about writing for nine consecutive years without missing a day is the notion that someone other than me has (literally) read every post.

Thank you Donna Flanagin.

You have 3 choices in everything you do

Love these fun Magic Kingdom posters.

Oh what fun it is to write 5 daily, differently-themed blog posts.

 

You have 3 choices in everything you do:

  1. better
  2. different
  3. plain vanilla

Hard to be better. Dangerous to be plain vanilla. A million ways to be different.

Decide.

World-class comes with a price

Disney Keynote Speaker
5-a-day blogging was supposed to last 100 days, but i honestly had zero confidence i could make it a week. Bottomline, i needed to practice writing in order to write my first book (above).

 

World-class comes with a price.

There are uncommon, and unconventional, categories in the business world that are relatively unknown.

How about the category, “She does what she says she’s gonna do?”

No one is competing to be the best in the world at this. Not really. And certainly not officially.

With deep humility (corny, yet true), i believe i’d be a contender.

A promise.

Two hours a day.

Seven days a week.

Fifty-two weeks a year.

Eight consecutive years.

That’s 2,922 straight days without missing a single day.

At five daily, differently-themed blog posts, that’s 14,610 posts.

This is post 14,614 and day 2,923.

Year nine began 90 minutes ago.
