Comfort Or Fuel For Our Money?

We work hard to do a good job, hoping all the while someone will recognize our efforts, which will lead to increased pay.

To do an excellent job, we skip meals because we can get more work done if we don’t leave our desk.

We snack on sugar-filled foods because they are easy to unwrap, don’t require refrigeration, nor heating, and they taste oh so good.

We stay late to get more work done, often missing dinner time.

When we arrive home late, sugar-laden food choices like cookies, cake, and ice cream are easy to prepare, readily available, taste great, calm our nerves, and cleanup is minimal.

Perfect.

Right?

Our other option is to use intentional, balanced, highly nutritious food choices.

Nah.

Too much effort, cost, and planning.

A life you don’t need a break from?

St Mary Lake — One mile from the Motor Inn.

i love working vacations. i love exercising on vacations too. One life; live it like you mean it, not like you need a break from it.

Who recommends their stiffest competition?

Did i mention that one of the “management consulting” firms was a recommendation? My other recommendation was Disney Institute.

They have not contacted Disney Institute because they already understand their pricing.

This makes me smile. Who recommends their stiffest competition?

Probably no one.

Without any sales experience, without having a passion for sales

Windermere Prep boys Basketball — Regionals at home. The win advanced our school to the State Semi-finals.

Is there a way to become a salesperson, without having any sales experience, and without having a passion for sales?

And if the answer is yes to both, is it possible to rewrite how to sell?

Cultural transformation to move from decently surviving to abundantly thriving revolves around which of the two questions we embrace:

Is it worth trying to do?
Can it be done?

Almost always the belief – with a litany of excuses – will be that it can’t be done.

It’s not that i refuse to do these… #thinkdifferently

#thinkdifferently

It’s not that i refuse to do these or that i don’t see the value; however, i don’t do any of them.

Blogging is supposed to lead to traffic and traffic is supposed to create a funnel from which your business will flow. Makes sense, so almost everyone does these standard recipe-for-success tactics:

1. Have an email subscription sign up for a newsletter or blog
2. Entice sign-ups with a CTA (call to action) using a free asset give-away.
3. Use videos
4. Do not share your prices publicly
5. Have a slick website with lots of bells and whistles
6. Freely share your best content
7. Automate your social media sharing

So how did that play out in the first year of Disney retirement? If the only metric we use is revenue (because it’s typical), it was the best year of my life.

i only preach what i practice. And i preach to people who don’t want to be the best in their category, they want to become the category.

Sure it’s risky. But so is following the herd.

PS. i blog a lot (13k posts since 2009), but i don’t do it to drive business. On my speaker site, it’s almost impossible to find my blog. Why? Because it’s a personal blog.
