Working Backwards

All things, including our lives and our businesses, were never meant to be about us.

A funny thing happens when we start with the needs of others and go create, cultivate, and work in our businesses from there…and by funny I mean the world becomes a better place.

The old model was this: Start with you and go do something from the there. Thanks to mass market advertising this worked.

However, the new model that is working is backwards: Start with the customer and go do something for them from there.

A lot is changing, but finding a group need and fulfilling it is still very much in style.

To move forward we all need to work backwards in the new model.

Truth > Trend.

What Happens When You Ask?

You, hopefully, get an answer to act on.

You get a chance to respond and it’s your response that will be the building blocks of your legacy.

Once you know how, when, and why to serve someone you’ve just been given the master-key to two joys: theirs and yours.

The truth sleeps in questions.

You’re here to wake it up.

Like that guy…

Why do it like the guy in the next cubicle?

Why do it like the last guy that came before you?

We’ve seen him – noticed him – and he holds that spot in our minds.

That’s his spot – not yours.

But you’re different.

Your eye sees differently.

Your pen writes differently.

Your words flow differently.

Your style is stylish because it’s different.

When you are different everyone sees it. They see it because it’s hard to miss different in a world of normal.

We don’t need more and more of what we already have.

That’s where you come in.

All Moments. Response. Legacy.

All moments equally hold possibility for opportunity.

It’s our level of awareness that fluctuates.

No matter the moment, some thing is always trying to be seen, revealed, felt, or heard.

Look.

Listen.

Feel.

Respond.

Legacy, at its core, is the aftermath of our response to the whispering things in all of our moments.
