Leadership is more than business-centered

Bicycling near Magic Kingdom — Rethinking where and how i do routine life chores.

Dermatologist biopsy — Rode bicycle yesterday to dermatologist (photo), gym, dentist, and doctor.

We are creatures of habit.

Some of our “good” habits actually make our life more challenging because of the time we need to invest.

When we move to a new residence, we are likely to drive back to the old neighborhood to do business. What starts as a temporary solution until we get settled in our new place, could become a habit lasting until we die.

In our case we had to drive back to our original services (like Doctor and vet) for 20 years, simply because we moved to a rural area without infrastructure.

The infrastructure has been here for several years and yesterday i committed to the transition of establishing things so i can ride my bicycle about a mile to take care of business.

The biopsy results take one to two weeks.

A leisurely seven-minute bike ride trumps a 30-minue car ride. Multiply that by numerous chores, it insidiously adds up.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Why become a category of one?

The way to become a better person is to not try to become someone else. Just become a better you than you used to be – on your mission to become a category of one.

Singing competitions reveal this with beautiful accuracy. Competitions like The Voice, American Idol, and the X-Factor are not looking for someone to sing a cover-song like the original artist. The judges, the record labels, and the audience (us), really want only one thing – a stunning, unique version of the cover that blows our mind.

A song that we would buy a second copy of because it’s so different (and remarkable) from the original.

Additionally, we trust that a singer who can do this is also a singer who will do it with their own songs.

Art.

Art that inspires because it’s different.

Personal leadership involves doing things that are invisible to most

Salvation Army pickup truck — Snapped this photo from our riding lawn mower yesterday morning.

Personal leadership involves doing things that are invisible to most. In the corporate world, donating money, volunteering time, hosting fundraisers, and a list of other common ways to give back, are all marketed very carefully to the public.

Why?

Because it’s a great public relations strategy.

To do it invisibly would be considered a missed opportunity.

Oh well.

Note: The readership here, in the big picture, is so small, it’s the equivalent to it never happening.

Brand, in layman’s terms, is your reputation

Last night’s (retirement) Halloween dinner.

Last night’s (retirement) Halloween dinner, at the very beginning.

Disney Cast Member created a wow-moment in a simple way, at the very end.

Brand, in layman’s terms, is your reputation.

Brand loyalty is the sum of everything you do and say.

It is also the sum of what you don’t do and don’t say.

My personal brand emulates two companies.

Disney, where i spent a lifetime honing my platform, from Disney’s Chief of Staff to Disney’s Cleaning Staff.
Apple, the company that builds the tools i need to change the world and help others to do the same.

There are individuals (not companies) that i also emulate: Jesus, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Gandhi. Assuming you know that Walt and Steve are on this list too.

Personal leadership 101

Quote about our body's temple — Just read this a few minutes ago on Facebook.

Personal leadership 101: If you are taking care of your body with regular exercise, adequate rest, and balanced nutrition, congratulations.

If we are not, and the image above doesn’t speak to us in a profound way, can we honestly call ourselves a leader?

Note: Not trying to make anyone feel guilty. Only one goal, which is to provoke .thinking .differently

If you feel guilt, ask yourself why. i can’t take you feel anything. Everything is your choice.
