The one thing about being an entrepreneur that is so cool

Less than 48 hours ago, i was working here.

Having fun and being creative is so easy as an entrepreneur.

The early days, weeks, months, and years are challenging. You don’t know if it will ever work. By the way, it took me six years before i had any revenue.

No one hands you a written contact guaranteeing your idea will become good enough to change your life and the life of those you love.

 

The one thing about being an entrepreneur that is so cool.

You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, for whomever you want.

Of course, there’s a catch – if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is – you have to be able to earn enough revenue to cover everything so you can continue being an entrepreneur.

If you solve that, you earn the freedom to do what you love and the ability to do what you love in a way that makes our world a better place.

Reprise from yesterday’s insight about wisdom and our thoughts

Sanibel sunrise
Every day that you wake up (alive) is an opportunity to do the impossible.

 

Reprise from yesterday’s insight about wisdom and our thoughts…

•  •  •

Had my first drink at 13 the Summer of 1972.

Somewhere around 18 i went full-time.

At 41, on my third “no, this time i mean it” attempt, i stopped.

Impossible is nothing…

There was no middle ground for me. Every day or not at all. i quit on New Year’s Eve (not New Years Day), the biggest drinking day in the world.

Prior, i promised myself i’d stop if my wife got pregnant. Did well for a little while, but failed.

Made another promise, “When the baby is born.”

Did well for even longer (about 6 months) than the first failure, but failed again.

Then, as our Son was almost 1.5 years old, i decided Dec 30 would be my last drinking day.

That was 2001.

Failure paves the way for success if you want it bad enough.

Our acts can be no wiser than our thoughts

Moon set behind us. Who looks back when the sunrise is so stunning? Almost no one.

Context. Almost dead center, you can see the moon setting.

Context.

Even more context.

 Look closely just left of the sun, two humans and a dog.

Same photo as yesterday.

Our acts can be no wiser than our thoughts.

Think about that.

Make controlling your thoughts a habit and you make controlling your actions a habit.

Profound.

The ball is always in our court.

More action, doing better things, more often.

If you knew you couldn’t fail

Sanibel sunrise
Two days in a row using a photo from a few minutes ago, rather than the usual “day before” photos.

Wouldn’t it be great to live in 2019 with a brand new approach to our life?

One that sounds like this…

If you knew you could not fail.

Here’s to the difficult, time-consuming, and inconvenient work it takes.

Be the person you dream of.

Seriously, why not?

Right?

The creative, generous, kind, and joyful person who only wants to do work that matters.

The type of person who says it doesn’t matter if the work is challenging and takes years, or even a lifetime.

And the kind of work that you can creatively have a blast at doing.

Be the person you dream of.

And remember, you don’t want to be thinking this…

A year from now i’ll wish i had started today.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy New Day are synonymous

Beach themed christmas cards
Yesterday we arrived for few days at the beach.

 

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy New Day are synonymous.

What?

Yes.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

When each new day is seen as an opportunity to count your blessings, then you are able to enjoy today as you would that one hyped-up American day of the year – Thanksgiving Day.
