This is how we do

How does one work from anywhere?

It depends. You don’t leave home without your ID, right?

You don’t leave on a transformational journey without your growth mindset either.

Mindset 2008-2009: The Great Recession…with 2 dozen years of Disney Service, felt weirdly vulnerable during that Disney layoff and made a promise to create a Plan B should it ever happen again.

Lifelong plan to work at WDW until 2024. The Great Recession was a humongous wake up call.

Crafted a 10-year plan: 5 more years at WDW & retire in 2014 at 55, and 2nd 5 years to put a positive dent in our Universe.

Side note: The wake up call surfaced the reality that no male on Dad’s side lived past 60.

2nd side note: Under this post’s surface is a beautiful reality: each of us is CEO of You, Inc. Each of us is responsible for everything in our life. Each of us lives with a ticking clock. Each of us has the same 24 hrs/day. Each of us gets to choose our mindset.

Mindset now (Oct 5, 2020)…

For 7 weeks a small motel room provided daily gratitude for simple blessings in a one-million acre wilderness straddling the Continental Divide – shelter, electricity, running water (including hot), small shower, flushing toilet, heat (no AC), bed, windows, wifi, wonderful staff, and a 400 meter drive to Glacier National Park.

Oh, and a small desk to “work like you mean it”!

What if everything changes?

What if everything changes?

No worries.

Story of our lives.

Everything is always changing.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Life is change.

But now Covid-19 has forced a new reality, a revelation – work remotely.

Been doing it since 2008-ish.

Launched a small business in 2009.

If i’m not going against the grain, i do not feel comfortable.

Why the world took so long to seriously consider this as an advantage has transferable insight into every other area of our lives.

The insight?

Fear of the unknown, untested, holds people back.

But not you.

You are a visionary.

Hated to leave

empty grocery shelves
Empty grocery store shelves at Publix, the store one mile from home.

Empty grocery store shelves at Winn Dixie on the way home from Apple Store. Just needed butter.
Easter candy
Plenty of marshmallow Peeps though.

Hated to leave.

Used to respond with the above statement when asked, “How was your day at work?”

Look at our world now with Covid-19.

Hating to leave work now takes on a whole new meaning.

Perhaps it will create a new generation of, “Hated to go back.”

Or, “I love working from home.”

PS. Missed having Magic Kingdom fireworks last night. First time in three decades. Eerie.
