Every time you make an exception and lower your standard

Ben Towers — i sat in Ben’s seat while he spoke. As a professional speaker, he nailed it. As a 20-year old, he’s definitely in the prodigy realm.

What we accept by default becomes the standard.

Every time you make an exception and lower your standard you are chipping away at your new, lower standard.

Taking a stand is what sets a standard.

Not taking a stand also sets a standard.

One standard builds strength.

The other standard doesn’t.

PS. The good news is the same thing happens in reverse too.

Was it a test?

Less than 12 hours ago.

Being organized helps you make better decisions.

Yesterday i was asked to sign a last-minute contract.

The contract was very short and only contained language intended to get something i never do – i do not to allow anyone to own a copy of my keynote speech.

My agent is crystal clear about this and is the one working directly with the end client.

It begs the question, “Was it a test?”

Busy people in urgent and tense situations often agree to something they wouldn’t agree to when there’s no pressure.

Why?

To make the tension go away.

i added to the tension exponentially when i told my agent, “i hope not being able to record my speech isn’t a deal breaker.”

If it is a deal breaker, my agent and i lose a nice paycheck and miss the opportunity to provide a deserving audience with transformational Disney business insights.

Inspiring people to get incrementally better than last week

Sam the dog — Last night was our last night. Sam is literally the best-trained dog i’ve ever seen. Pure joy to live with.

Inspiring people to get incrementally better than last week.

At home.

At work.

At “Church”.

At health.

At attitude.

PS. My career allows me to help organizations.

PPS. Imagine the incremental, steady, and compounded improvements here at this blog about HQ, the paperwork of life, where you are the CEO of You, Inc. Your personal and home organization would make your life so much better than it is now.
