Our best alibi is a terrorist

Disney Leadership Speakers

 

(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

Orlando's Best Professional Keynote Speakers

 

(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

Office Depot shelves full of 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

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.

It’s probably nothing

When will the racing stop? Our days fly by in a flurry of activity and checklists.

Never seems to be enough time.

If only we had more time.

Someday things will slow down. Right?

All we have is time, yet we use it like it’s an inexhaustible resource.

But it isn’t.

And no amount of ignoring this fact buys a single day more.

What would compel us to have a sense of urgency for living like we mean it?

Probably nothing.
