It could take 1, it could take 500, it could take 10,000

Approximately two years ago, on November 1, 2011, my fingers graced the key board and the mouse clicked ‘publish’ for my first post at LTMPblog.com.

Since then I’ve seen great successes, massive set backs, glorious moments, rough days, holy days, and a mix of almost every human emotion we can experience. I’m sure you share the same story over the last 24 months as well. Nevertheless, every weekday morning, with very few exceptions, I’ve shown up here in the rawest state possible to give some generosity of thought on the pursuit of making music with our lives, families, and businesses.

Today marks my 500th post at LTMPblog.com.

You may have just found these thoughts. If so, welcome. Or you may have been here from the start. If so, thank you.

For me, the most beautiful aspect of this blog is that the original hope is 100% fully intact: that this would be a place we all would – together – be moved, molded, and changed into the musicians we’re all meant to become.

Thank you for walking with me on the path to better, greater, and more meaningful music for our days.

We’re just in the beginning of this symphony that’s unfolding and it could take 1, 500, or 10,000 thoughts for this blog’s mission to be fulfilled.

Whatever the case, I’ll be here.

The Inches In Our Milestones

Obsess over the inches in your life and you’ll love your mileage you’ve covered looking backwards.

Obsess over your milestones in life and your inches will frustrate you, be overlooked, and probably under appreciated.

Aim small. Miss small.

Preparation: TV’s vs. Treadmills

Life doesn’t bring you successful moments. It brings you moments with the opportunity for your successful navigation.

Your role in success is in the preparation.

At some point the moment of inspiration will hit, an opportunity will present itself, or you’ll land on the spot lit stage to experience, perform, or produce something successful.

It’s precisely at that moment we will notice where you, your mind, and your actions have been over time.

We all live in a proverbial gym. Don’t let the tv’s distract you from the treadmill.

Unheard of. Unseen. Unbelievable.

Leadership is creative innovation that leads to meaningful change.

Dig deep.

Get lost in the stars.

Look inside of yourself and capture your greatness.

Bring us the unheard of and things never seen before that will take us to places we won’t believe.

We’ll come back again and again for such an experience.

Can you say ‘business model’?

May I Join You On Your Journey?

That’s a much more powerful question than “Would you like to join me on my journey?”

Funny things happen when your journey becomes about and for the enrichment of another’s journey. For one, you’re giving and not taking. And most acts of giving our birthed from a heart of service. Secondly, you’re basically asking if you can help them, their purpose, their problem, or their story. We call that hope.

Good business is a romantic way to say this is not about me. I’m pretty certain a great life offers the same aim.

In other words, the joining of other’s journeys is the rewarding journey we’re all looking for.
