small action leads to XL Life.

Small spoken words change people lives.

Small action day after day creates a big life.

Small steps get you atop Everest.

Today become smaller. Be pivotal in what’s unseen behind the scenes.

It’s the small lyrics that make you call that artist your favorite.

It’s the small things your favorite hotel does that no other does that makes you come back.

It’s the small tidbit of wisdom someone told you that you have never forgotten.

It’s the small things that will make you say or have made you say “I do” to someone.

It’s the small things that differentiate us.

The Competitive Advantage of Speed and Response

Response and speed will be the competitive advantages the great enterprises seek in the decades to come.

You can own any market with a simple 3 step formula:

1). Find the market.

2). Identify the market’s needs.

3). Respond with a remedy.

Could it be more simple?

Of course your remedy response is the most courageous step you’ll have to take, but he who can boldly take these three steps the fastest wins in the marketplace.

And after you respond with a remedy to the need – keep listening.

We love when our favorite bands and businesses actually play the music we requests.

Share

One of the bedrock rules of kindergarten is back: share.

Your social media platform will not succeed without sharing.

Your mentorship with a young lad is contingent on the sharing of your hard knock knowledge.

Your business will thrive with the information it shares.

Share. Then share some more.

Rest assured, you will get more than you give.

Alas, in this brave new world you are what you share.

Never.

Never lose your sense of wonderment.

Never trade great for good enough.

Never overlook the good.

Never look around the bad.

Never pass on the chance to make someone’s day.

Hard as it may be, never fail to finish that thought, that dream, that idea, or that song.

Nevermind is the #1 cause of all dream deaths.

The Busy Badge

If there is a social badge we’ve adopted in nearly every circle, it’s the badge of busy-ness.

We tell our wives how busy we are. We tell our church group. We tell our confidants. We tell strangers at cocktail parties.

Newsflash – this is how it should be. We should all be doing, creating, learning, serving, and finding. Efficiently.

The problem arrives when we flash our badge of busy-ness to create to the illusion we’re being efficient.

Busy lives are dim.

Efficient lives shine.

Trading busy-ness for efficiency is going to require trading what you like to do for what you should be doing.

Make the trade.

Efficiency gets us closer to fulfillment. Fulfillment of goals and fulfilment of dreams. I think that’s what we’re all after…at least I am.
