“It’s like Uber, but for…”

That’s the pitch of everyone’s new idea for their industry or field of expertise.

This is beautiful. We live in a world where a team of people can redefine what a car ride is, and in doing so, it gets us all thinking about how we can do what we do better. As Leonardo da Vinci once said, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Yes, one by one – simple car rides are beckoning us to simplify our systems, processes, and businesses.

Thank you Uber for getting us new lenses to see with.

Enjoy your weekend. Say a prayer for someone in need. Rest well. Monday is around the bend and we need you to be prepared to get us closer to what’s better.

And if you’re wondering how to get from point A to point B this weekend, click here. Enjoy.

What We Say To Ourselves

I’m watching Andy Murray vs. Novak Djokovic in a live US Open match right now.

Every bit of positive and negative momentum is connected to what the player is telling himself.

I hope you’re still up to watch and think about what you say to yourself about yourself in the matches you find yourself in everyday.

You can ignore the world’s noise, but you can’t mute your own personal dialogue with yourself.

Do yourself a favor…

…and Google ‘decision fatigue‘.

Decisions: the most forgotten of all the muscle groups.

Omakase

The Japanese have a word that means “leave it to me.” The word is omakase.

The beauty behind omakase is the theme of trust and creativity it offers when communicated. Mostly, you’ll find the word in sushi restaurants on the menu when the guest wants the chef to do his thing, his art, and his craft with freedom and fish in-lieu of ordering random selections a la carte.

Omakase is a two-way street. It’s an offer of ‘leave it to me’ and it’s a trusting acceptance of ‘I’ll leave it to you’.

However, you’re probably not going to be given a blank canvas until we’ve seen what you have painted before. Most omakase is earned.

Or put another way, you probably need to start dazzling before you’re asked to dazzle.

If it’s easy to do…

…it’s probably easy to not do as well.

We’ve heard an apple a day for so long that it’s become, unfortunately, a humdrum old wives tale.

But what if you swapped out the apple for something else?

A thank you a day.

A no thank you a day.

A walk a day.

A journal entry a day.

A prayer a day.

And so forth.

Success sounds eerily familiar to failure…drip drip.
