Fight The Battle, Not The Plan

The Fight Of Your Life
The Fight Of Your Life

“Fight the battle not the plan. The plan goes out the window after the first shot….oh and by the way, the enemy (whatever or whomever that may be) has a vote in the outcome of the battle.”   — Skip Gaskill

Whether it’s fighting to regain your health, or regain your market share, you are in for the fight of your life, for the rest of your life.  Good luck.

PS.  A special thank you to Skip Gaskill for his contribution to today’s jungle jeff blog post. Skip simply left a comment a few days ago that was so powerful, it needed to be shared.

PSS. These are unprecedented times.  Traditional thinking and game plans are not feasible. It is not my place to offer advice.  Only to challenge you to discover your own.

Are The Long Hours Worth It?

Heads Or Tails?
Heads Or Tails?

Age-old question.

What do you think?  What’s your opinion?

“It depends,” is the first thing that comes to mind.  Mostly the long hours are worth it.  If.

If?

Yes, if.

If it drives your ego, your title, your salary, your corner office, your feeling of self-worth – then no.

If it drives your ability to make a difference: to expand your reach, your relevance, your impact – then yes.

The challenge, when you’re insanely busy, is to not confuse the two.

Any one need a quarter?

Einstein Versus jungle jeff

Unconditional Love Inspires
Unconditional Love Inspires

“Problems are never solved by the same level of awareness that created them.”   — Albert Einstein

Problems are simply nature’s way of getting our attention. Then it’s up to us to do something.  We almost never do.   – jungle jeff

The world is hurting.  It’s the elephant in the room, isn’t it?  Everywhere you look, people are scared.

There has never been a more important time, in recent memory, than now to step up and lead.

The inspired inspire.

Self-Evident jungle jeff

“All Truth Passes through three stages:
First it is Ridiculed,
Second; it is violently opposed,
Third; it is accepted as being self evident.”

—  Mahatma Gandhi

What is self-evident is not yet.

The “early adapters” see it, but no one else.
