Free Marketing

…and by free, I mean earned.

  • Being present.
  • Enjoying the extra mile.
  • Personal responsibility.
  • Being human.
  • Recognizing another’s humanness.
  • Making art.
  • Making change.

It’s your humanity that gets shared, gets talked about, sticks with the recipient, and is what you want to see in your rear view mirror.

You’d be surprised what a Super Bowl ad can’t do.

Enter Today

It’s not yesterday. And it’s not tomorrow.

There are some handshakes approaching today. Be there. Be there with them. Lock hands, lock eyes.

There’s a hug you’re to give you in your story today. Give it well. Leave the recipient better than you found them.

Discover something new. Smile in reflection of the newness now known.

Tend your metaphorical gardens of life, relationships, and business. Till the field. Sow some seeds. Pray for rain. Harvest if something’s ripe.

Turn a stranger into a friend.

Breathe.

Laugh. Laugh hard.

See what the sun is touching. See all of it. There’s enough light to not just look, but also see.

And stop and listen to today.

Be still and quiet enough so that you may hear what today is trying to relay your way.

It’s alive. It’s with us. It’s here. It’s now.

Will you join all of the music that is unfolding around you today?

Music is 1% possibility and 99% participation.

Say yes.

Bias

It’s much easier to choose the status quo when you have a bias for inattention.

Eating and drinking habits change dramatically when you have a bias for a healthy tomorrow over a tasty today.

Wealth builds with a bias for saving in-lieu of spending.

You tap the breaks for arguing with a bias for peace over pride.

A bias for possibility accelerates serendipity.

Here’s the catch…

In the end, the noise can and will be acceptable by most. But rest assured you will love the music: a life powered by tempo, melody, harmony, and meaning. Maybe I’m biased?

Where are you leaning?

Hint(s)

You don’t need to look like something. You need to be something. The art of becoming eventually paints itself an identity.

Few things are as indicative of your future as who your friends are.

Dreams are previews.

Warm putter > Hot driver.

Look up.
