Regret proves this

Gaping Void art — In our Son’s dorm room. Starting out, working for money is important. At some point it should not be. Regret is never figuring this out.

Regret is our proof that common sense is elusive.

Move from mind to heart

Never asked Marty for an autograph. Never. Sent him the pic because that’s one of the ways i go the extra inch – surprising and delighting others in small, unexpected ways. Just an email thanking him for his wisdom, time, and the paper copy of his speech. That’s common, but adding a photo to rekindle the smiles/moment…that’s exceeding expectations.

Biggest barrier to world class performance is believing in your mind you can be world class, but not believing it in your heart. To believe it in your heart will require your best effort every single day.

Got your frontier or a checklist?

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel — Another insider perk. Being inside before the outside comes inside. Never. Gets. Old.

A leader pursues a frontier. A manager pursues a checklist.

As CEO of You, Inc, you’re in charge of your vision and your tactics. Keep your categories simple. Keep your checklists simple. Develop simple, powerful habits so your checklists are etched in your mind and your heart.

At a certain age, if you still need paper/digital checklists, your life needs more simplicity.

Questionable practices

Candy shelves — Sugar addiction is a questionable practice.

Questionable practices.

As a passionate observer (learning and teaching), questionable practices jump out like someone jumping up and down waving their hands and screaming for help.

Cigarette smoke might be impossible to detect by a lifelong smoker, but for a non-smoker, you can smell it a mile away. You can’t help but smell it, even if you tried not to smell it.

If you smoke or have a sugar addiction, blame yourself.

Blame no one else. Blaming others does nothing for you.

Be accountable for your behaviors and then (please) find a million ways to slay your demon.

Personal vibrancy is achievable for personally responsible people.
