Are you pretty sure how June is gonna go?

the future's so bright we gotta wear shades

I anticipate June being very challenging. Full of opportunities to feel overwhelmed – the guilt from serious, hard work can be potentially depressing. Because it is, after all, the advent of “summer vacation”.

What if we saw June as an opportunity to break the traditional rules and love our hard work so differently that by the time July rolls around, we can’t believe how much we learned and how much fun we had.

MBA
Gas is 41 cents per gallon? MBA from where?

Becoming an entrepreneur is about the scariest thing a person can ever do. In telling people I was getting an MBA, they asked, “From where?” I said, “From my LLC”. That’s nonsense, right? No accredited school. No official diploma. How can you call yourself an MBA?

To me, there are other ways to be a master at business administration. And if I have to explain it, you’re still playing by the rules.

what kind of attitude claims: "you won't have to stand in a long theme park line"?

There’s a time and a place for everything. And sometimes what works in one place, won’t work there again. And there are times or places where something has never worked, but this time it will. Most rules are guidelines. It’s up to us to decide when to appropriately break them.

This is what many people need, to break through to a more positive attitude.

upside
the upside with travel? reaching more people.

It’s as obvious as the law of… an object in motion tends to stay in motion. An attitude that always looks for the upside, the blessing, the opportunity – will tend to always look for the upside, the blessing, the opportunity.

An object at rest tends to stay at rest. An attitude that complains, is bitter, sees only problems – will tend to repeat itself. Obvious, right?
