From Here On Out

From here on out he who owns, creates, and establishes new ideas wins.

Prepare yourself…this is going to frustrate the masses.

Business school attempted to teach me the corporate glossary for 4 years. I confess, I left with a B average and I would fail a vocabulary quiz if given one today.

Our future leaders and dreamers will be clueless in regards to challenging the status quo if they’re taught about “synergy” for 4 years like I was.

Let’s add our own words and ideas to the glossaries we intersect. That’s where my hope lies.

Discovery

There are thousands of singers (both professional and amateur) that could sell more records than any finalist that will win this year’s American Idol. It’s just a fact.

What do these pros and amateurs lack that the finalist of this years competition have? Discovery.

Or put it another way, they didn’t drive to the audition to stand in line…and, therefore, they didn’t get the chance for a yellow ticket to Hollywood. You can’t win the talent show without entering THE SHOW.

This isn’t just a physical conversation. Of course we must drive to the audition…but…
We must also position and take our minds to a place to birth and discover new ideas on a regular basis.
We must also position and take our souls to discover a place that is bigger than ourselves.
We must also position and take our hearts to discover a place where gardening can occur…growth and pruning.

Position and location – the prerequisites that lead to discovery.

It’s Monday. How will you position yourself and where will you go with what you do? The markets never come to us. Go.

Perfect, Perfection, Perfectable

Perfect is simply not in the cards for us.

Perfection is a place we’ve convinced ourselves we’ve seen…we haven’t.

On the flip side, we can be pointed towards becoming perfectable…I.E. there will come a day.

We are works in progress and this is a freeing conversation.

The Aftermath After Math

You + Your Ideas = The Future

Eagle Eye View + Cheetah Eye View = Holistic Education

Decision + Brilliant Execution = Change

Big Hat + No Cattle = Big Hat

Me – My Pride = A Better Man

Listening + Responding + Service = Flawless Business Model

After the math lies the aftermath, and it is in these algorithms where we can decipher what is music or what is noise happening around us.
