Doing the wrong things right.

 

How does one know if this is true?

How does one balance the truth against a lifetime routine?

Is this a classic “activity equals productivity” dilemma?

Is this the Pareto principle in action?

Does doing the wrong things right insulate us from our fears and doubts?

Who would we have to become to embrace the notion of transformational change?

And could we ever convince ourselves to follow a different path?

This claim is not socially acceptable

A mile high and surrounded by mountains.

Not gonna lie.

Feeling tinges of guilt for wanting to spend as much of Summer 2018 in Glacier as i can.

Feeling anxiety for the audacious goal of living my life as if i had only ten years left.

Why?

Because there are less than 18 months for the “deadline”.

(Remember, i made this visionary statement six months before my 50th birthday, when i officially incorporated my business on January 1, 2009)

To arbitrarily call Summer 2018 my last is socially not acceptable.

No one is running up to me reassuring me i’m on to something extraordinary, brave, and inspiring.

No.

One.

PS. My “deadline” is June 8, 2019 – my 60th birthday – and therefore Summer 2019 is not an option.

PSS. Obviously, life may grant many more years and Summers. And yet there’s the remote possibility – for any of us – we won’t see this Summer.

Of course, having an impossible vision is scary

Of course, having an impossible vision is scary.

That’s why so few CEOs can create organizational vibrancy.

How grand a vision is too much vision?

Facebook Mark Zuckerberg
He was in college and had an idea with a couple buddies. Pretty innocent in the early years.

 

How grand a vision is too much vision?

Taking risks is risky.

So is playing it safe.

Simple, key, repeatable

jeff noel Disney speaker
Images should also be simple, repeatable, and recognizable. Circled the font i think is the simplest.

 

Simple, key, repeatable.

The critical messages should be all three.

If they aren’t, they fail.

Live like you mean it.
