You need an edge?
Really?
Yes.
And the sooner you start thinking about this, the sooner you can start taking action.
Taking action is the only way to make it happen.
One foot in front of the other. There is no other way.

Super Freak She’s Super Freaky
Okay, the human mind is remarkably strange. This Rick James song from long ago is in my head. Why? Because I’ve just reflected on the past two jungle jeff blog posts.
Wake up calls. Corporate down-sizing. Christmas Day attempted terrorist attack. It’s all kinda freaky, super freaky.
The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch. Pancreatic cancer. Wife. Three young kids. Best-selling author. Hero. Role model. Computer Science Professor. Oprah Winfrey Guest. Deceased.
These are unprecedented times. Turbulent times. Stressful times. Uncertain times.
But time marches on. Question is, “Will we?”
Leadership Wake Up Call
Yesterday’s jungle jeff blog post ended sort of weird, didn’t it?
It felt like that to me anyway.
Leadership. Personal leadership or professional leadership. It doesn’t matter.
Maybe it’s “right-sizing” at work, that’s your wake-up call.
Maybe it’s an alarming medical report that does it at home.
These are the things that rattle our cage and inspire us to make dramatic changes.
Positive changes.
Life-altering changes.
Just the other day, a neighbor commented that he was relieved he was given a package. As an executive, he felt he always remained a “target”.
Now, he no longer has that worry. He said he saw it coming and started an entrepreneurial business last year. Now he can devote full-time effort to it. He claimed he should have done this long ago.
Good for him. Proactive effort. Now, back to the point. What are you planning to do this year?
Makes everyone think, doesn’t it?
And then the Christmas Day attempted terrorist attack reminded me of something.
Better and Happier
“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.” — unknown
That’s all there is to say today.
Not really. But I’m gonna zip it and hopefully the quote will plant a seed of greatness in your soul and your work this coming year – it’s only two days away.
Five A Day Blogger Explosion
In March 2009, just ten short months ago, I made a promise – a 100-day challenge.
Have you ever made important promises, big promises, promises that you could almost taste the life-changing benefits?
Some call it dreaming big dreams. Walt Disney, one of my heroes, was like that. But Walt Disney also had something different.
He had drive. And Walt Disney did what he set out to do. And Walt turned a deaf ear to the multitudes who called him crazy.
Walt Disney did things others said were impossible. When I set out to write five daily blogs for 100 days, not even I could imagine what it’s turned into.
Here we are, not 50 blog posts later, not 100, not 500 blog posts later, not 1,000 either, but over 1,500 blog posts – in ten short months.
It is quite literally a Five-A-Day Blogger explosion.
PS. Who would you rather listen to:
- A big-time dreamer?
- A big-time dreamer and a big-time doer?
Audacious, antagonistic, insightful, servant.
