Exploit hope, work

We have experimented for years with different seasonal visits. Summer, Fall, then Winter and Spring. The context of each season accentuates the other three in an inspiring, humbling, artful way.

What the New Year brings you proportionally depends on what you bring to 2026.

Same for each month, week, day, and moment.

Same for each idea, intent, act, improvement, and sharing.

Fanatically bring your best if you want to intentionally be your best.

Welcome 2026, work

Lake McDonald is 10 miles long, 500′ deep at the deepest, and this south shore location is ridiculously easy to access.

Those creative ideas you have on how to make your work life better, remember this…

No great idea ever starts out great.

Great ideas generally sound like dumb ideas initially.

We need dumb ideas to spark the progression for idea improvement.

Dream like you mean it.

.think .differently like you mean it.

Lean into discomfort like you mean it.

Have fun like you mean it.

Easy, effortless, enjoyable

LinkedIn Learning module notes.
  • Easy, effortless, enjoyable.
  • Who doesn’t want that?
  • The book won’t be good unless you expose yourself.

These notes are from a LinkedIn Learning module by Jodi Glickman.

Here we are January 13, 2020 and people’s renewed excitement for renewal and recommitment are starting to crack and crumble.

Why?

Too much coming at us.

i mean too much on top of the normal craziness.

Woo-hoo!  jungle jeff is on vacation!

Now I can really get some work done.  Here’s my list:

  1. Slow down

Will let you know how this goes.  Carpe diem.

What Will GREAT Look Like?

What will GREAT look like for you in 2010?

I can’t imagine being a professional and not being a LinkedIn member. But it’s not unreasonable at this point for many to still not be involved.

My wife is not on LinkedIn, however, I do believe it would benefit her to get started.

Anyway, through LinkedIn, which I read daily, I followed a link  – “What Will Great Look Like For You In 2010?” A quote from that link sparked today’s blog post.

So there are two messages today:

  1. Social media, like anything else, works best when used frequently
  2. All five of my blogs are free

A reader commented a few months ago, “You never ask for anything.”

It was, and still is, a question that leaves a funny feeling in my gut.

Why would anyone invest in five daily blogs, reveal secrets, success tips, insightful thinking, be vulnerable and transparent, and never ask for a nickel in return?

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman
