With the courage and strength to push humility aside…

Disney is a category of one. Meaning there is no equal. Not even a close runner-up.

The first work week as a small business entrepreneur has been mind blowingly self reflective.

With the strength and courage to push humility aside, as painful as that is, it’s easy to conclude beyond a shadow of a doubt there is no other professional speaker with the depth and breath of jungle jeff.

When you believe in something, believe in it all the way. – Walt Disney

Humbled by the career aging process.

Everyone at Brookview and Cedarbrook has a story.

Each one contributing to society in their own unique way.

And now, it’s a bit like an unsolved mystery. No one knows. Decent chance no one cares.

What does this mean to us working folk?

Dude, just keep it to yourself

The wonder of it all is quite remarkable

 

Note to self: you have a very strange sense of remarkable dwelling within you. It mostly feels like something that only happens to rare, fortunate, hard working individuals.

You have been incredibly faithful in following your dream.

Please do not back down from this feeling, nor try to downplay it.

But keep it to yourself, ok?

Worried. Intimidated. Stressed. Under perform as a result?

Ever go up against work with someone with a remarkable reputation?

Someone you see as the very best at the work you do.

Worried. Intimidated. Stressed. Under perform as a result?

And afterwards be incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work side by side with them because you got to experience something incredible?

And then sometime much later you get a second chance to do it again?

And realize much to your surprise, you are so capable that you actually surprised yourself with how amazingly solid you were the second time around?

Ever been to one (or all) of these places in your career?

Slow and steady growth, year after year after year

 

After nearly 15 years (since March 1999) and speaking to over one million people, something magical is happening within a career.

Ever been to a place like this in your lifetime?

The place where you feel like:

  • an artist
  • unencumbered
  • unmotivated by title, status, rank, salary
  • on fire
  • work everyday as if your life depended on it
  • become a stranger with fear
  • marry possibility
  • inspire positive change
  • feel like you have finally arrived
  • and the next week, years, or maybe even decade (or second half) are your years to bloom

This is insane. Like the first day of first grade.

Real life in real time.
