Started saying this “quote” after a decade of Disney Institute keynotes and multi-day sessions.

‘Tis true.

My early-years mistakes were from ignorance. My later-years mistakes where from peddle-to-the metal risk taking to become a remarkably more effective speaker and advisor.

If i wasn’t failing, i wasn’t growing.

If i wasn’t growing, i wasn’t satisfied, nor fulfilled, nor was i having fun.

Life is an HQ gamble.

Running your life like a business is a gamble.

So is running your life like it is not a business.

You are emboldened with confidence to achieve personal vibrancy – by over-focusing on life’s basics…

Or, you are looking for your favorite hole in the sand to put your head.

Risk never procrastinates

Box full of neck ties — Prioritized priorities help make your yeses and your noes easier to commit to. Donated 100+ neckties. Why? Because wearing ties no longer is important. Wearing ties is still important to someone else.

Habitually procrastinating because you are not organized is a risk.
