Write like you mean it

Sanibel Island Pizza
Tradition on every Writer’s Retreat to Sanibel is to stop at Island Pizza on the way to the beach cottage.

 

Cheryl has been working for me off and on since i first began in 2008, even before i incorporated as an LLC.

This past week she spent hours editing (rewriting and making artistic enhancements) much of the new website copy.

Why?

Because she thought the current copy and layout could be improved.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

There’s no school for what you need to learn

There’s no school for what i need to learn. No book i can follow with step-by-step instructions.

i believe this is the main reason the journey is so long, grueling, and scary uncertain.

The possibly of being the captain of my own ship compels me to pursue what i am certain will also be a rewarding journey.

Is it worth it?

Being intentional with a keep out sign

In a world full of cookie cutter performance, what does it take to become a craftsman.

And is it worth it?

As a business owner, the reality is that in a sea of competitors, it is difficult to stand out.

If we don’t stand out in the customer’s eyes, it is much more challenging to pay the bills, let alone grow.

Standing out from the crowd is potentially the best marketing campaign you can ever have.

Stop comparing (please)

Apple iPhone shipping box
Yesterday…opening an Apple shipment from China.

 

Stop comparing (please).

And stop trying to fit into the mold of what others tell you is the recipe for success.

i used to be a copy-cat wanna be.

Is that what i’m chasing?

What if i chased becoming a category of one?

Or is that only for other people?

Mid Life Celebration versus Disney

Pennsylvania fall foilage
Yesterday on the walk back from the ATT store.

 

The paradox of two loves.

Mid Life Celebration versus Disney.

For three full days (today is the fourth) we’ve been surrounded by 80 and 90 year olds.

Mid Life Celebration (MLC), while on the back burner since retirement due to unexpected Disney content demand, became even more important.

Aging well with a balanced approach to mental, physical, spiritual, work, and home has never been so clear.

The one year absence from MLC has exposed me to something with greater certainty…

The original vision to challenge 80 million Baby Boomers “to do something great” before they die is what the world needs.
