Different is better

Being different – a category of one – is my only hope to be better than the best.

Three ways to make a viable business.

  1. Be better than everyone else.
  2. Be different than everyone else.
  3. Both.

Being the best, the gold medalist, is reserved for one person.

Being the best, and different from everyone, even rarer.

But there are a million ways to be different.

Find the one that doesn’t feel like work, that adds insane value to the right audience, and do work that doesn’t compromise your other four big life choices (mind, body, spirit, home).

One is actually two

Mountain trail in Fall
The perfect angle to make two distinct mountains appear as one. Walking next to the Continental Divide.

The Continental Divide seems to have the world’s biggest wardrobe.

Top 3 priorities for next week’s summit:

  1. Share your vision and why the world needs you to do it
  2. Get them curious and hopeful about the future
  3. Inspire them to recruit for various “SWAT” Teams

Delete it all

As instructed. This didn’t delete what it was supposed to delete. Did it on an iPad and an iPhone.

Never bad-mouth the technology that sets you free.

WordPress and GoDaddy changed my life, beginning in 2008.

These five blogs only exist because of both.

Presently at a crossroads in a technical issue/glitch, for the past month.

It has the worst case scenario to vaporize 5,500+ days of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

That’s 27,500 posts.

Plus, there’s another 1,050 posts written and scheduled to publish.

That’s an insane 28,550 posts…potentially lost if a security breach crushes my sites.

Don’t make them ask

handwritten postcard
2014…one of my final days during a 32-year Disney career. Sent this to my boss (in 2014). He frequently received postcards from me, for years.

Never let your boss feel compelled, especially out of habit, to ask you, “How’d things go?”

What are you doing now that you weren’t six months ago?

How does it feel?

What caused the change?

What are the benefits?

What was missing previously?

Can you teach/inspire others similarly?

What will cause others to change?

What will be the benefits?

What is missing now?

Can they teach/inspire others similarly?

How far down the org chart can this travel?

What will happen if this goes all the way to the ‘bottom’?
