Benchmark, benchmark, benchmark

i’m glad most of this page is out of focus.

 

Benchmark, benchmark, benchmark.

This video is simply, and brilliantly produced.

Mike Dooley speaks truth in his own language, yet it’s a universal language that is work interpreting.

PS. Most workbooks i’ve benchmarked, including Disney’s, are typically packed with text.

Eliminating theory is to gain wisdom

Eliminating theory is to gain wisdom.

Analogous to being an arm-chair quarterback versus an actual quarterback.

Knowing life’s best quotes and timeless sayings is irrelevant if all we have is knowledge.

Execution is key.

Period.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

T-minus four hours and counting.

To provoke thinking and facilitate discovery is to earn my keep

This week will be interesting because today is the first work Monday after the long holiday break. Expecting to hear updates on several important business conversations that got placed on hold for the past 10 days.

Patience, confidence, and optimism are real things when it’s your business. Otherwise, they are merely theories we’ve studied.

This has me thinking about insights that can be gathered from observing where colleagues, who were receiving their company subsidized MBA’s, were seven years ago and where they are now.

No one liked my comments that MBA’s are generally a false hope and an insanely time and energy intensive commitment with literally zero ROI.

i say this with deep respect and admiration for every individual. i also say this because my primary function, and obligation, as a teacher is to provoke people to .think .differently
