It’s like the 2007 unveiling of the iPhone

Not expecting nor encouraging anyone to watch Steve Jobs unveil the iPhone in 2007, but it’s here if you want to.

 

 

The effort to get a business set for scalability is exciting, and a ton of uncommon work.

If it’s done properly (intentionally and brilliantly) it’s like the 2007 unveiling of the iPhone.

Game changing.

That’s what i’ve been working on consistently since retiring from Disney eight months ago.

Slowly. Deliberately. Intentionally. Creatively.

To unveil a product and approach no one else in the world offers.

A category of one.

Bold?

Bold is as bold does.

Creating memories with simple gestures

Montessori Middle School Owl Room
Cheryl coordinated bringing in Chinese for lunch on the next to last day of school.

 

Creating memories with simple gestures.

Simple doesn’t mean easy, it just means simple.

Supplying a middle school classroom with a wonderful Chinese lunch buffet is anything but easy if you do it Disney-style.

And Cheryl does everything Disney Cheryl-style: first class all the way.

Find a million ways to make the daily grind fun and exciting

Apple Watch Mickey Mouse face screen shot
Apple Watch screen shot. Date in upper right corner (May 30) was yesterday.

 

Still getting used to the Apple watch i received four days ago. Driving home from the track meet, Cheryl called and i answered from the Apple Watch.

It was a moment.

A random, seemingly insignificant moment.

Like the baby steps i began taking in 1999 after a health scare from a cholesterol report. The motivation to get healthy or risk heart (attack) complications.

Sales is a stereotypically slimy business

Daniel Pink speaking at Authority 2015
Daniel Pink, best selling author, was the opening conference speaker.

 

Daniel Pink presentation
Change can be good. It can also be bad.

 

Daniel Pink presentation
The response is brutal.

 

List of negative sales stereotype words
This is the world of sales from the buyer’s perspective.

 

Are my thoughts organized enough?

Are my key points clear, concise and compelling?

In two hours we finish our call from yesterday.

My fees are above average. Some would say they’re high.

My value proposition, priceless.

Does the entire conversation coming out of my mouth on the other end of the phone (to the buyer) sound like a value proposition or an expense?

This is yet another example of how organization is way more than managing the stuff in our closet, drawers, and file folders.
