What are you, if you are anything but unforgettable?
- Forgettable
- Average
- Ordinary
- Plain Vanilla
- Doomed
These things make a strong case for one target. Unforgettable.
Are You Forgettable?

Why Are You In Trouble?
Because you don’t have time to read this.
Because you don’t have time to follow this leadership blog.
Because you keep quoting others and have no quotes of your own.
Because you keep waiting for someone else to change.
Because you feel life isn’t fair.
Because you talk a good talk, but don’t walk a good walk.
Because you’re afraid.
All of these things can be dealt with. But you don’t know where to begin.
Begin here.
One small daily step at a time.
Humans want quick fixes.
When will you finally accept that life doesn’t work like that?
Life works the opposite.
Second Great Leadership Book
Wow. Ever heard that phrase, “Time flies when you’re having fun?” Can’t believe it’s been nearly two weeks since I started writing about the two top leadership books I read in 2009.
Guess what, I never shared the second book. The Last Lecture was the second great leadership book I read in 2009. And the first?
Rich Dad Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki.
How many knew I’ve had a Rich Dad Poor Dad book review over on the right hand column all 2009?
Facebook Updates
Recently read a Facebook update from a friend, and, an aspiring, passionate person who’s launching a new career.
The Facebook update said to this effect, “I didn’t get the job…I learned more in one night than I did in a whole year in school.”
How powerful is that?
When was the last time any of us said something like that?
Do you:
- Love to learn at an accelerated pace?
- Value a great education?
- Act in a manner that mirrors your belief system?
Odds are, we all said, “Yes!”
To all three.
I say, “Doubtful.” It’s number three that gets us in conflict.
What we see in the mirror and what others see in the mirror, almost without exception, are two different things.
Look At All These
Look at all these things we have to do:
- Buy Insurance
- Buckle our Seat Belt
- Say Thank You
- Brush Our Teeth
- Be Nice to Others
- Lock Our Doors Before Bedtime
- Do a Great Job at Work
- Blah, blah, blah
But, ask us to think about our personal vision statement, and you might as well ask us if we can grow a money tree.
Why is that? Am I missing something?
