If You Could Not Fail

Stop Being So Measured
Stop Being So Measured

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

We’ve all heard this question posed to us in our lifetimes.

Some of us have heard it so many times, we no longer hear it, no longer even consider it a valid question.

You now why?

Because nothing in life is guaranteed, except that we will die and taxes will increase.

Giving in, and quitting are so common place.  Or, people won’t even start in the first place.

Why?

Because we can fail at everything.

But what if we didn’t fail?

How would our lives be transformed?  And more importantly, how would the lives of others be transformed?

Got Book?

How many people want to write a book?

How many believe they can write a book?

How many actually do?

Two days ago, I said to my wife, “You know, depending on your definition of a book, I’ve already written five.”

And you know what Cheryl said?  And by the way, this is one of the million things that I love about Cheryl, because she’s so smart, she said, “I know.”

Tomorrow, I’ll share a free link to Roger Parker’s checklist for getting a book published.  That is, unless you have no story to tell. But I sincerely doubt that.

Everyone has a story to tell.

Don’t die with a book in you.

Then maybe start here, in Lane 8:

There, I said it. Hope this doesn’t scare anyone off. It is what it is.

Google CEO Needs Coaching

Who needs a coach?  Do you need a coach?  Pretty sure I need a coach. In fact, after listening to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, I’m convinced.

Why?

Listen to Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, talk briefly, but accurately, about why people need a coach, and decide for yourself.

Good luck. Well, actually, luck has nothing to do with it. At least not until you have put in some serious effort. Then luck starts to work in your favor, but not before. Carpe diem.

Thank God It’s Monday

Thank God it’s Monday.

It’s easy to dread Monday’s, isn’t it?  Why is that?  Multitude of reasons probably.

The way to beat the Monday blues?  I ain’t the brightest bulb in the box, however, there is once secret that has proven effective for many people.

Know what it is?

A thankful heart.
