Best time to worry at work

four adults at a cafe
Before starting Mid Life Celebration, LLC in 2009, the idea of flying to Australia just to meet Nick seems inspiring and “necessary”. Abandoned the crazy idea. Why? Found less expensive inspiration. Imagine the surprise bumping into Nick in Winter Garden, Florida, not far from Disney.

Pencil or a broom?

What?

One career is built using your thoughts.

One career is built using your presence.

One career is paid in exchange for your value.

One career is paid in exchange for your time.

Become remarkably different than the others who do what you do; become a thought-leader who transforms dogma and tradition. Make the way you ‘think and do’ exponentially more valuable than industry standard.

Become dependent on longevity to increase your wages; receive yearly increases until you max-out your wage cap, then hope for occasional cost of living increases.

The time to worry about which choice to make is before you have to worry about which career path you’re on.

Covid19

Creativity Time magazine
Creativity (the generation of ideas) is worthless without the cultural wherewithal to implement positive change (innovation).

Covid19.

What will happen to the world economy with the shut down of large percentages of businesses?

Creativity and innovation is critical not only for the small, medium and large challenges you see coming, but also the ones you never see coming.

Having a rain day fund is great business (and personal) acumen.

Expect the unexpected

Disney Conference Speakers
Whew, time to roll up the sleeves.

Expect the unexpected.

Last June i planned to kick off Summer 2019 and arrive in Glacier National Park yesterday, June 1.

The Madrid Disney Creativity Keynote speech was a recent opportunity; it provides Thinking Heads HQ and me a chance to meet in person.

Son, plan your future intentionally. Plan to be flexible too.

Patience is a virtue and challenging to apply 100%

Apple Genius Bar repair ticket
Apple Store Genius Bar appointment to replace cracked screen. A week’s wait for an appointment, a $99 deductible, and a one-hour wait is a small price to pay for a better future.

 

Patience is a virtue and challenging to apply 100% of the time.

But that’s what great leadership (and parenting) is all about, being consistent when the pressures tempt us to loose our patience.

Leadership is also about seeing ahead and preparing a future that is better than now, much better.

One small hairline crack from a single dropped iPhone led to a set of spider-web cracks after a second drop one week later. Heading back to Glacier National Park for a week i don’t want a third drop to render the iPhone useless.

Plan ahead.

Simple.

Not easy.

Temptation to wait almost always runs high.
