Take the long way

Working smart is the opposite of working hard.

But ‘working smart’ IS the result of working hard.

You have to put in the hours before you see shortcuts. You have to learn details before you learn which details matter.

You have to fail many times before you discover how to do succeed.

The long way is the shortcut.

Let there be more light

post it note
Wisdom. Self-discovery and self-enlightenment two decades ago. In 2026, looking for something even more wise and enlightening.

Let there be more light in 2026.

In this post, light is synonymous with wisdom.

Let there be more wisdom in 2026 than any previous year in my life.

Ps. Wishing this for our world too.

Incompetent incompetents

Bottle of extra virgin olive oil
This photo has nothing to do with this post. In a weird way, it’s the perfect example of not knowing how much you don’t know: aka an incompetent incompetent.

Yesterday’s meeting was gold.

Not for the team leader. She failed to run an excellent meeting.

What gold then?

My gold. My main client finally got to see, hear, and feel what i’ve been saying for years.

In summary, “Ya’ll have no idea how to think like it matters.”

Bonus: Greatness will elude you, until you understand WHY Disney does what it does. That won’t happen until you stop focusing on what Disney does and how Disney does it.

Don’t drop the ball

5-second video: Someone dropped the ‘ball’. Probably an adult because i didn’t hear anyone crying.

Wisdom comes from experience.

Experience comes from making mistakes.

Grateful to know this.

Grateful to embrace this.

Grateful to chase this.

Note: Found and told a Cast Member. Went back to the slip hazard until the Cast Member returned with a wet cloth and cleaned up the slip hazard in one fowl swoop. It was impressive. Definitely not his first rodeo.

100% fatality rate, work

personalized healthcare name badge
Advent Health’s name tag is brilliant. A simple, clear, concise, and compelling, scalable way to communicate compassionate care.

None of us get out of this life alive.

Not sure of my best-work-habits fatality rate after i’m gone.

Don’t aim to be the best in your category. Become the category.
