Motivation

All too often, motivation isn’t sprung until death is on the horizon.

Until the company is about to go under, there’s no motivation for a decrease in spending.

Until the diagnosis is heart failure, there’s no motivation for heart health.

Until there’s 3 hours before the test, there’s no motivation to study.

Until your sales funnel diminishes, there’s no motivation to prospect for new business.

Case in point: don’t let motivation be too little too late.

Lacking in motivation? Talk to your future self.

3 Concerns for Leaders

  1. People involved.
  2. Love.
  3. Soul of the company.

Any leader that keeps his thumb on these three will not lack in followers.

Thus we have daily questions to address these concerns.

How are the people?

Are we making music or banging cymbals?

Is this place alive?

Shift.

Create a product. Shift. Create art.

Compete. Shift. Dominate.

Manage. Shift. Lead.

Read the news. Shift. Be the news.

Wish. Shift. Will.

Sell. Shift. Serve.

Make noise. Shift. Make music.

The fortune, fun, and fulfillment is found in the shift.

Building Your Immunities

To conquer fear you must take it on fight, after fight, after fight. Don’t allow it go viral in or around you. Daily wash your hands of it and slowly it will lose its effect on you.

When adversity hits, take it on full speed. Power through. Remember it’s typically a sign from the Muse you’re on the RIGHT path. Preparation is penicillin to adversity.

Careful with ‘yes’. ‘Yes’ to an hour in your inbox leads to and hour on YouTube. 120 minutes gone all because you said ‘yes’. Awareness is the Z-Pak to the ‘Yes’ Virus.

These are costly viruses with one goal: attacking your creativity. And you have no insurance or deductible to meet that will protect you from them.
