Future World. What is our “future world” and will we work hard to shape it in spite of the obstacles?
Our attitude shapes everything about us.
Leadership isn’t just about work. Leadership is about balance. This includes figuring out how to manage an often overwhelmingly busy life. My posts are meant to state the obvious, which is easy to ignore when we’re overwhelmed.

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.

Last night in Red Lobster parking lot, the vehicle next to ours.
When an especially busy patch of work hits you:
Do your best
Stay focused
Know that this too shall pass
Find the inherent, invisible, and bountiful blessings
Don’t break under the pressure
Remember that life naturally ebbs and flows
Learn from this experience and be a little better at handling pressure next time.

Clarity often comes after an extended wait. It was about six years before .think .differently came to me as a brand differentiator.
The beautiful truth about being an entrepreneur and interfacing with other entrepreneurs is that there’s no perfect, one way to do things.
There are thousands of recipes for success, tips, tricks, hacks, etc. Much of it is free.
At the end of the day you must ask and answer one simple question:
What do you want to be that is different from the rest?
Be the best in your category?
Become the category?
If you wish to be different you must remember that this will frustrate people who expect some semblance of normalcy.
My friend couldn’t find my blog at my speaker site.
Here’s my reply to her email where she asked, “Do you have a blog?”
The posts often contain useful business info, but i am not writing for an audience. i thought that was the point (gain followers) before i began writing, but i eventually came to realize that i was the one who needed changing and improvement, not others. It’s analogous to posting gym workouts. No one really cares what you do. But you must do the work because it’s critical and because it makes you healthier.
i intentionally do not promote my blogs.
Crazy, i know.
i like crazy.
i think it’s rare, and valuable.
PS. Lower case i’s are intentional. A reminder in humility. i am small. A servant. It’s easy to forget. And once we forget, it’s hard to regain.

We “force” him to go to after school activities simply to be exposed to social situations.
Had to think for a moment, and it bothered me that i couldn’t instantaneously remember the fourth one.
Honesty
Behave admirably
Personally responsibility
Self-control
He learned the first one as a young boy, the other three were added over the years. Behaving admirably was added in elementary school. Three and four added during adolescence.
A teen’s attitude is shaped by many things. One of the most obvious, and most taken for granted, is the home.
PS. “Initiative” was added after entering ninth grade. On deck for this Summer is “fun”.

Real world pressures. Do they ever go away? Since the answer is no, how do we keep our attitude incredibly positive for an entire lifetime? (Tweet this)
Ironic that most of us shake our heads affirmatively while reading the graph, yet we could redo the graph from top to bottom:
Problems known to us
Problems known to our acquaintances
Problems known to our best friends
Problems known to our Family
