Dear Risk

Disney Flag Ceremony on September 11
Disney does this everyday. Yesterday’s September 11 anniversary was inconsequential.

Dinner was extra-ordinary because of our server Britney (Skip).

 

Walt Disney World Trains
Traffic rarely gets backed up because of trains, but it does happen.

 

Dear Risk,

Waking up is risky.

More people die after waking up than die in their sleep.

i’ll gladly take the risk.

More people die with regret than die without.

i’ll never accept that risk.

Running your own business is like a roller coaster ride

Amish post cards
Intentionally trying to exceed expectations with five wonderful human beings.

 

Running your own business is like a roller coaster ride, but without the built in safety that OSHA requires theme park owners to adhere to.

There is no safety net being an entrepreneur.

Everyday your business is at risk.

Unscrupulous people.

People going through an unexpected hell and they are not themselves.

People making promises with their spirit, but unable to deliver with their work habits.

Far too many arm-chair quarterbacks in the world.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

An entrepreneur’s journey is difficult and lonely (and joyous)

An entrepreneur’s journey is difficult and lonely (and joyous).

The joy is high at the journey’s beginning because it’s an adventure.

Once the honeymoon-effect fades, it gets so difficult, somewhere north of 90% drop out.

This is where difficult and lonely become your traveling companions.

Travel with them long enough and and eventually you’ll see a horizon you had begun to doubt you’d ever.

Find and stay in your lane

Took this to remind me where to pick up the recording last night.

 

Thank goodness for technology. Not missing an episode of the final American Idol season. But i watch it after the fact.

Why invest precious time watching American Idol?

Because it teaches me about branding.

The judges are always impressed with contestants who know who they are – singers who’ve found their lane and stay in it – and refuse to dilute it by trying to be something else in spite of the pressure to confirm to a winning formula.

No, nope, no way

Orlando custom home construction
Foundation pour nearly complete by noon yesterday.

 

No, nope, no way:

No email subscription

No videos

No fancy graphics

No hidden prices

No sharing content

No waiting* to hear back from me

Why?

Because the above items are thought of as “wrong”.

* i’ll personally respond to your text, email, social media message, or phone call within 24 hours, and usually the same day, and usually within a couple hours (or sooner).
