We Miss The Whole Point

There Famous Slogan Is Long Gone
Their Famous Slogan Is Long Gone

There’s a lesson, an insight, a revelation, a blinding flash of the obvious in this post for you, as we conclude this week’s theme from the former Rock and Roller.

As Baby Boomers, Gen X-ers, and even Gen-Y age, things change. Physical maifestations are easy to recognize – grey hair, wrinkles, weight gain, aches, even our music’s volume.

Change is good, unless you sell out on your claim to fame. Ron-Jon Surf Shop used to be just that, a single Cocoa Beach Florida Surf Shop – “Not One Of Many, One Of A Kind“.

Until their expansion. Cash is king. It used to be passion.

Remember? Totally famous? A “must-see” Florida Tourist attraction for decades. To leave Florida without a Ron-Jon T-shirt was unthinkable for most sunshine and beach lovers.

Back to the story, Flash says (because I asked him) the meaning of life is here and now.

Right now. This is it. It’s what we have in front of us and what we do with it.

The chase, the search for something better is the devil. In our efforts to go, or be, somewhere other than here, we miss the whole point.

Asking for advice is a funny thing. It may even be an addiction. As long as we keep asking for answers, does that give us some sick type of permission to avoid doing anything? Better to trust your own intuition and try things and learn what works and what doesn’t. Do more of what works and less of what doesn’t.

When everyone else is searching for answers, better to seek the right questions.

Once you ask the right questions, your answers will take care of themselves.

Quit waiting, and wanting, to be spoon fed.

Mid Life Bankruptcy

Many midlife Baby Boomers and Generation X-ers are carrying out their career sentences by being a good dobie and simply going through the motions.

And some are captains of their own ship, industry leaders, game changers and change agents.

Other midlife Baby Boomers and Gen-Xer’s are already forging ahead with their once dormant plans to become small business entrepreneurs.

What ambitious, aging entrepreneurs are finding is that marketing is the bottom line. They are also discovering that they are not very good marketers.

And the Internet and it’s wealth of Social Media, most of it free, are the keys to marketing.

There Is Power Here

There’s awesome (magical) power in not giving up.

Most people never experience this anymore (now), even though they did experience it all the time (then).

Huh? What? Exactly.

When you were a child, you didn’t know the meaning of “give up”.  And, very rarely, did you ever cave in. But then you became an adult, and you were taught – right, wrong, consciously, subconsciously – to worry about what others think.

And this is a critical lesson to learn, because it is important, but only to a point.

And we never learn where that point is.
