Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
Recently drove from Nashville to Pulaski, Tennessee, an All-American City.
Becoming an All-American at anything is to achieve a level of excellence only a small percentage know, understand and pursue.
Coincidentally, jeff noel, aka The Blog Whisperer, has been telling a quiet story about this mindset for a few weeks here.
Don’t expect the puzzle to be in full view if you visit there. Don’t expect the bloom to open right before your eyes either. Nevertheless, expect beauty in both.

What are your big plans for April? Remember, impossible or big doesn’t mean something no one else has ever done. It’s means impossible or big relative to what you have never done.
Just so you know, I battle every single day with keeping up, prioritizing, postponing and even completely letting go.
And with change, the more you proactively practice, the better you get at it, which feeds your self-confidence, which just keeps helping you.
Not sure if I’ll be blogging tomorrow. Have a best-selling book to finish. April is get it done month.

We’ve been talking about careers, resumes, LinkedIn, standing out in a crowd, etc.
It’s brutal isn’t it?
Trying to stand out.
Trying to move forward.
Imagine trying to pitch a book that you think will help make the world a better place.
Book publishers have never heard that before, right?

Are you able to be excellent every single day?
It’s incredibly challenging to be excellent every single day.
I mean, who could pull that off, every single day?
But this begs the question, “Then why continue to try to be excellent every single day, even though we know it’s impossible?”
Michael Jordan did not make every last-second shot he took (to win).
And those many times he missed, his team lost.
But he continued to take the potential game winning shot.
Challenging. Challenge. Challenger.

Change is the only constant.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Mostly, we hate change. But yet we are surrounded by it. At work. At home. On the news. In our face. Everywhere.
And deep down inside, we know that change has many positive benefits, and with hard work, we CAN change.
But who pushes you?
Who gets in your face and reminds you you can’t quit?
Is it you? Do you coach yourself?
And if you are self-coached, where did you learn it, from a book, a seminar, a show? Let’s be real.
Your biggest and best change came when someone believed you could do what you didn’t believe you could do. The “coach” got in your face and pushed you, and rode you, and drove you to excellence.
Who’s coaching you now?
Or don’t you care anymore?
Prove it.
