A simple solution to a plaguing challenge

 

What would you do with 2,001 books that have errors in them?

Nothing major, but definitely shouldn’t be there.

First, maybe, we would agonize and curse ourselves for our stupidity and carelessness.

Then quickly (if possible, in less than a weekend) start brainstorming ideas for a work-around.

And 90 days later, eureka!

Make them limited, collector’s edition, uncorrected proofs.

For $40, a brilliant solution.

Simple never goes out of style. And panic never has a rightful place with our emotions.

Ain’t to proud to beg, sweet darlin’

Mid Life Celebration book
How on earth did a red spine come about?

 

Mid Life Celebration book
Much better

 

Such a stunning difference.

No explanation.

No appology.

Had to beg initiate a logical, common sense service recovery option.

The ‘rush’ seemed anything but.

All the while, praying Xulon Press would understand these were not complaints, just desperately trying to feel a sense of urgency and empathy on their part.

The final thought takes the cake and can be found by clicking the bolded, hyperlinked word Blog on the next line…

Why we really should focus on all the can’ts in our life

Central Florida landscape project
Can’t do it myself, but I can hire someone

 

Why we really should focus on all the can’ts in our life.

We get mired with all the things we can’t control – the government, work policies, state regulations, neighbors.

What if we really, seriously focused more on our can’ts?

  • I can’t wait – I must act
  • I can’t compromise – I must remain true
  • I can’t pretend – I must be authentic
  • I can’t deny – I must convince

“Problems are never solved by the same level of awareness that created them.”   — Albert Einstein

Problems are simply nature’s way of getting our attention. Then it’s up to us to do something.  We almost never do.   – jungle jeff

The world is hurting.  It’s the elephant in the room, isn’t it?  Everywhere you look, people are scared.

There has never been a more important time, in recent memory, than now to step up and lead.

Smart Bomb

Smart Bomb?
Smart Bomb?

The silver bullet, and we’re not talking Coors Light here. Don’t we dream of finding the silver bullet?

The silver bullet for leadership, for customer service, for brand recognition, marketing, market share, sales, etc.

Maybe we are searching for the wrong solution.

Maybe we should be in search of the …. smart bomb.

Smart bomb?  Yes. I just discovered it. (it was right next to the fountain of youth)

My son and his friend are playing video games.

I’m eating some cold, left-over Pasitano’s Pizza for lunch.

Watching them play, with their nine-year old competitive juices flowing, they just got excited about a smart bomb.  I watched the bomb grow in size, until it was a giant bubble on the TV, and then it exploded.

All I could think to do was groan for them, in their apparent loss.  Because, like most bombs, a big explosion does serious damage.

They corrected me, the way nine-year olds do when adults reveal their complete incompetence about stuff they didn’t grow up with.

A smart bomb, when it explodes, makes everyone near it – smarter, more effective.   Better.

Smart bomb.  Has a nice ring to it. Imagine if you worked on something important and then it sort of exploded in your face. Youch.

Or, “EUREKA!”  As in – “Used to express triumph upon finding or discovering something.”

You know, the silver bullet.
