The thesis statement for how to transform your work
The thesis statement for how to transform your work.
Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.
If you work for someone else, you will never be compensated for what you are worth.
Wait, sorry, correction – you are paid what you’re worth – a corporation has an obligation to control costs.
Labor costs are managed by having yearly caps for salary increases.
So your 2-3% increase is all you’re worth in the corporate machine.
Suggestion: start your own enterprise and you will find out quickly (give it at least three years) how much you are worth.
PS. The only way to be successful in a sea of people trying to do exactly what you are trying to do – starting a business – is to be different than everyone else.
You can try to be the best in the world (unlikely) or you can try to be different.
There are a million ways to stand out – you simply have to invent yours.
Over-focusing is the only way this is possible.

Dear Son, the math is astonishing, but i knew it all along
Dear Son, art is doing what you do in such a way that you create your own category, rather then fitting in nicely to an existing category.
Arrogant?
Confident?
Be an artist.
Be visionary.
Be intentional.
The math will take care of itself and it will astonish you.

Paying Attention Pays
Yogi Berra, the baseball player who is also famous for saying, “Ninety percent of it is half mental”, and, “When you come to the fork in the road, take it”, also coined one of my all-time favorite sayings:
“You can observe a lot by watching”.
Walt Disney has taught me to watch and listen for what is done, and for what is not done. And try to learn why.
And now I’m teaching our son. Most of life’s secrets are pretty simple.
What’s challenging for most of us, myself included, is that we are easily distracted. Easily swayed by peer pressure and society’s norms.
Walt Disney was a man who challenged the status quo, in virtually everything he did professionally.
Look where that got him. One of the most creative minds in modern times.
Why?
Because he watched what wasn’t being done, and then did it. Soon after, everyone else tried to catch him.
In a very humble sort of way, I can totally relate to Walt Disney.
Our son, at eight years old understands this, while many adults do not. Crazy. But true. Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
