Everything Is Important – Page 15 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Why is this relevant to what happens to you today?

Why would “living like you mean it” be relevant to what happens to you today?

Should we have a personal battle cry for easy access to our daily inspiration?

As CEO of You, Inc, we create what makes us successful.

And we intuitively understand how repetition creates our habits.

Repetition creates habits.

Habits are in our control.

Habits make us or break us.

Weirdly enough, we know this yet do little, if anything, to change.

Why?

Because change is hard and routine is easy.

The repetition of a simple, direct, balanced, lofty approach has the power to influence.

But only through repetition.

Finished reading Mid Life Celebration for the 25th time on the return flight home yesterday.

The number represents reading of the published paperback or Kindle version. It does not include the many readings of the unpublished work.

This book is as short and sweet and powerful as they come.

“An inspirational wakeup call in about an hour.”

Over and over again.

Our best alibi is a terrorist

(photo: Swarovski Santa. It’s cute. A great, compulsive buy. Who wouldn’t love it? This never ends until we suffocate on our lifetime of stuff.)

Time flies and we use this notion as an alibi.

Someday we’ll get it all together and live a really decent life.

But for now, we have to go. Only ten days until Christmas.

Our best alibi is a terrorist.

Don’t believe it?

Answer this: Are you satisfied?

This changes everything and always has

(photo: It’s always a treat to talk directly with the CEO.)

It’s embarrassing how simple these posts are.

And it’s humbling to comprehend how astonishingly correct they are too.

The way we think changes everything.

Because the way we think drives what we see.

What we see changes everything.

Negotiating with CEO’s and Meeting Planners to describe what type of Keynote Speaker they should hire at some point leads to a bottomline revelation…

Client: But how is this going to drive our financial growth and shareholder value?

MLC: You and your team worry about getting your brand on the cover of the Wheaties box (financial). MLC will worry about you winning the Olympic Gold medal (reputation).

At the end of the day, your customers don’t care if you are a money making machine. They only care that you love them. All day. Everyday.

The beautiful thing about attitude is that we don’t need a committee

(photo: Office Depot and the dozens of business finance software choices.)

So many choices. Guess who gets to pick the best one to use everyday?

The beautiful thing about attitude is that we don’t need a committee.

There’s only one person in charge of it.

Great CEO’s read, study, teach, try, fail, try again, and keep trying until they succeed.

Especially the startup entrepreneurs. You know, the ones who quit their job and go for their dream.

Take charge of your life he heard himself say

(photo: The radio in the 20 year old stereo receiver stopped working. It still powered the CD player, but he needed the radio for the 24/7 Christmas music, so he ordered a new receiver.)

Who’s in charge today?

Take charge of your life he heard himself say.

But with all the distractions, and especially with all the distractions, it’s really difficult.

Downright impossible, no?

Then he heard himself say that his excuses are invalid.

Putting things off is a habit he wants to destroy.
