It’s always something

Broken garage door opened springs
The gap in the long dark coil spring means it’s broken. Broken means the garage door won’t open. Our garage door is our “front door”.

 

It’s always something. The unexpected. The little thing that causes disruption in our routine and puts unexpected pressure on our day to day plans.

Our daily plans generally don’t allow too much wiggle room.

This makes a tight situation tighter.

This reminds me why i spend everyday, all day, staying positive – never allowing adversity to crush me.

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.

 

Time well wasted

Running shoe shopping
A first – getting fitted for running shoes.

 

Analyzing runner's feet
High tech process to video tape foot while running. See the video screen?

 

Time well wasted.

Wasting time and not getting anything done at work, but serving with all your heart and soul to help a teenager become an adult.

Hours worth of not getting anything done at work.

When you feel like the time you “wasted” was the best part of your day.

Yeah, who doesn’t want more of that.

It always gets harder before it gets easier

Art of Disney store
Walking back from lunch yesterday, just wanted to see if there was anything new.

 

Art of Disney store
Lots of choices.

 

It always gets harder before it gets easier.

Embracing this is the best way i’ve found to keep going.

The classic, “This too shall pass.”

Being a business owner for eight years, the stakes are higher as word gets out. By the way, the first six years i was quietly building and intentionally not telling anyone. Not until i retired from Disney did i go public with my business. That was only 19 months ago.

Business books offer advice to help entrepreneurs, but there is something about real life experience books can’t even begin to explain.

Note to self: There are prudent legal issues that will need to be addressed as your business grows.

Planning to watch my final Olympic Games this Summer

Planning to watch my final Olympic Games this Summer. (More on that as i approach my 57th birthday in 24 days)

Last week on the flights to and from Pennsylvania for client meetings, i read 11 chapters of “Finding The Next Steve Jobs”.

It’s a compelling and inspiring read from “the man who founded Atari and launched Steve Job’s career”.

Both author Nolan Bushnell and Steve Jobs are bona fide crazies, and creative geniuses.

Each of us has our own crazy.

How well we develop that is up to us.

i’m 210% committed.
