Remember, people hide their motives

Remember, people hide their motives.

This is especially true in the workplace.

Why?

People are trying to survive.

Getting ahead of others professionally is a great survival tactic.

Promotions and other work advancements generally equal higher pay.

Higher pay brings more buying power.

More buying power helps you survive better.

This is a generalization, and decently accurate based on my lifetime of observation.

Career moonshot

Disney Institute team meeting
Learning about leap-frogging at Disney Institute.L-R: Jungle Jeff, Ernesto, Morocco Mike, Bryan, Rob C (walking away), Amy K, and unknown elbow-man.

Career moonshot…

To be a category of one who models personal leadership vibrancy.

Note: In a perfect world, you will become surrounded by personally vibrant people (starting with your family).

Ps. The world ain’t perfect. Don’t expect many personally vibrant people to fall from the sky. My vision is that someday they will.

Over-work

Apple Watch fitness screen
Didn’t overwork it today. Did 50% less miles than the previous bike ride.

Over-working is a badge of honor.

Over-work is what you need to do to move ahead.

Perhaps there’s some truth to this: Take breaking out of the chicken egg, if you’re a wanna-be newborn chicken.

Study the Herd.

Is that where you want to go?

If not, you know what you need to do.

Mostly the opposite.

Proof is in the conduct

Disney Keynote Speaker
GNP. Fantasia Mickey and Glacier Lillies.

Being eager to learn is not the same as continuously improving. Desire must equal action. What are you reading/learning now and what did you just finish reading/learning? Where are you posting fresh, vibrant, inspiring content? One doesn’t have to approach life ambitiously, but if you are ambitious in a competitive industry, you have to want it more than everyone else. Prove that in how you conduct yourself.

You have to be a bastard to make it, and that’s a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.
