You Know Your Worst Enemy

If Only It Would

It’s self-doubt.  Think about it.

“A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself.” – Alexandre Dumas

Remember the other day when I said the best way to build self-confidence is to build self-confidence? It’s true.

But maybe you doubt that.

MBA Takes A Toll

Agree or disagree, you’ll often hear me talk about the value of, and expectations the student places on, an MBA. Overwhelming I see people get an MBA thinking it will propel their careers forward. Look around in your own world and do the math.

And of course, I have to take the road less traveled. You know, create an LLC, with the investment being not in a degree (paper) but in a profit (paper). It’s called not following the The Herd, because where the Herd is going is, well, a big pasture, or maybe the slaughter house.

Anyway, I’m climbing a mountain. A mountain that looks like the one my recent MBA degree graduate describes below.

“I received an incredible amount of support, internally from my classmates throughout the last 19 months. My family also put up with a significant amount of disengagement and time away or locked in a room because of traveling and the amount of time that I had to spend either studying by myself, or studying with my Cohort.”

Should We Laugh Or Cry?

It’s funny how yesterday’s jungle jeff post, completely unknowingly, was a prelude to the day ahead.

Looking back 24 hours ago, I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry, because there’s an idea virus infecting the world. Ever feel like that?

Some say there is an art to making people feel like valuable assets. But the virus is weakening these artists.

Rule number one – Life is hard. Get used to it.

Have a nice “day-to-day“.

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

Ever catch yourself, in a random moment, maybe eating lunch, or watching an inspirational movie or commercial, thinking to yourself…

I should have.

I would have.

I could have.

But now it’s too late.

No.

It’s not.

It’s never too late.

Is it?

Oh, I know what happens, we get so busy, because we’re not very organized, and so we fool ourselves into thinking our dreams are impossible.
