Other than staff and the keynote speaker, guess who was there early?

Dear Steve, thank you for saying this
Steve Jobs would have been 60 yesterday, February 24, 2015….
Dear Steve, thank you for saying this:
“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
So yeah, retired from Disney to raise money to give to the good people searching for a cure for Crohn’s. A great speaker with an amazing platform can make a lot of money.
Kinda like a for-profit, non-profit.
Crazy.
In a small way, next time you’re on Amazon consider typing “jeff noel”… there you can read the first few pages for free and if it intrigues you, and you buy the book, you’ll be helping. Plus, decent chance the one-hour read might contain enough crazy ideas to change you. Forever.
Crazy.
Today is not a good day to put your dreams on hold.

Is it worth it?
Is it worth it to push ourselves through the overwhelmingly invisible fear?
The ever present fear that we have learned to live with.
The fear that protects us from embarrassment and disappointment.
Seriously, is it worth it?
One of the outcomes from pushing through fear is that your courage and vision become much clearer to others. And your phone starts to ring.

It’s your ship to sink or sail
(photo: This venue seats 5,000.)
It has been incredibly interesting to be in charge of everything.
As CEO of your own small business, you can do anything you want.
This is a blessing and a curse.
You might sink your ship. You might discover new shores.
Bottomline, it humbles you in learning why so many people do, or don’t do, the things they do.
Survival.
And if you manage to survive, greed comes a calling asking you to cut corners, take short cuts, exaggerate.
But then you remember the brand you are building – and none of those are even remotely acceptable.

Every day it’s a matter of being remarkable
(photo: WordPress backend code)
What to do yourself and what to hire others to do is tough when you start because of economics and a million excuses.
If you want to be an entrepreneur, then every day it’s a matter of being remarkable.
Prepare to work you butt off.
This requires a rock solid positive attitude because you will be battling for your supper every night.
And you will have to decide if it would be easier to quit and work for someone else.
When you own it, the reality of what an MBA is, is no longer theory.
Not a single day of theory.
Ever.
