Prospects, Clients, Friends, & Family

Watch.

Watch what happens when you treat your prospects like you treat your clients.

Watch what happens when you treat your clients like you treat your friends.

Watch what happens when you treat your friends like you treat your family.

What you are watching is the human experience, and the art of being fully human just may be the most powerful ingredient in your relationship, product, service, or idea success formula.

Don’t overlook and miss this sacred waltz. It just may be the reward we’re all after.

The Doers

What do Mozart, Picasso, Magnus Carlsen, Michael Phelps, and Roger Federer all have in common?

Either by natural talent or developed skill, these guys are doers.

They romance their instruments. They take on the blank canvas. They play the game. They jump in the pool. They show up at The All England Club.

Don’t stand still. Don’t wait for the green light. Don’t ask for permission. Don’t give up.

Let the music play. Throw some paint. Deliver checkmate. Make a splash. Take the court.

Lights. Camera.

Who am I?

What am I here to do?

When is my deadline to do it?

Where will I go to do it?

How should I do it?

Why should I do it?

There are no books, sermons, pep talks, fortune cookies, or people who can answer these questions for you.

Only you can.

That’s the beauty of it.

That’s how crucial and significant you are in the story that is unfolding.

This thing can’t happen without you.

The movie has been cast and you are the lead role.

Action.

Change The World

Parched Trees and Your Music

Living in the midst of a drought I’ve taken notice of the ebbs and flows of nature and who she rewards when the rain stops.
She rewards the oak planted 100 years ago. Find an oak and stay in his shade.
She rewards those planted near the spring. Find that spring and drink his wisdom.
She rewards those that are well rooted. Find who has withstood the winds and copycat him.
Your argument now is probably, “I don’t know any oaks.”
My argument is, they’re all at the library waiting for to introduce yourself.
Your music, or lack thereof, will always be byproduct of your proximity to the music that has already been written.

Halftime

183 days ago,

4,392 hours ago,

263,520 minutes ago,

15,811,200 seconds ago you declared movement towards a goal or goals.

Well?

You’ve got 183 days left,

4,392 hours to go,

263,520 minutes available,

and 15,811,200 seconds to grab what you said you would reach for.

Obsess over the inches.

Love the grind.

Go.

Finish it.
