This is exactly what busting an industry stereotype looks like

This is exactly what busting an industry stereotype looks like…

 

 

Sure, Delta Airlines has been breaking the mold for years with their humorous safety videos. Qantas is doing the same thing, but without the humor. Instead, they connect from a different angle, using a deep emotional connection. They are banking on a different human motivation to ensure their passengers watch.

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.

Aim too high or aim too low

Aim too high or aim too low, there are always going to be critics.

Each aim comes with an outcome.

Each outcome comes with an opportunity.

Recalibration.

The one critical factor that often gets forgotten is the target we set out to achieve in the first place.

Never lose sight of what motivated you in the first place.

Want a perfect example of glorious risk taking?

Two days ago. i love that the photo is not “picture perfect”.

 

If you click on the Music video link, you may find inspiration for why risk taking is so important. For starters, you may reach new clients, and you may create a core emotional connection with your existing clients. This could also backfire too. That’s why inspiration is critical.

“Gateway to the Plains” Music Video Glorieta Pass, a natural corridor between the mountains and plains, is largely responsible for the unique diversity of cultures and historical events represented at Pecos National Historical Park. Ancient trade routes, the Santa Fe Trail, a railroad, Route 66, and Interstate 25 have all followed a similar path through this gateway in northern New Mexico. #RappingRanger (Background track “Black Spotlight” by Tia Cooper) Posted by Pecos National Historical Park on Monday, December 14, 2015

 

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.

Insist on taking the best risks you can take

Disney Conference Keynote Speaker
This was a silly photo idea last week. i like it though. In the far left shadow hides the photographer.

 

Are you getting your money’s worth?

Insist on taking the best risks you can take.

  1. Expect to fail, expect to lose, expect some pain.
  2. Expect to succeed, expect victories, expect great joy.

You can’t have one set without the other.

We know this, yet behave like we don’t.

i get jazzed by acting like i not only know it, but by embracing it for all it’s worth.
