Society tells me how a successful entrepreneur dresses
Society tells me how a successful entrepreneur lives
what he drives
what occupies his free time and pursuits
The internal narrative that is our true DNA is in a lifelong struggle
the battle between what our self wants and what it believes we need
many many times these do not sync
For me , a wide eyed dreamer this has become very obvious
Obvious in setting goals, in what my laser focus is locked in on
for me it is not about material items, possessions
for me it is about Freedom, Experiences, Passion
the problem is that does not always fit the hole of what is reality
So what to do? Soldier on? Hustle? well to Hustle for something that does not contain the potential to dyanmicaly bring me closer to DREAMS is futile isn’t it?
Wow , this is exploding in my mind! Its NOT about jockeying another owners horse to victory
Thats NOT LIFE CHANGING
How many owners can I watch ruin a tremendous opportunity?
A business is the creators own Oasis, a Utopia, where all the rules are based upon what I Matters most to the creator. Period.
The business can be spectacularly Small yet incredibly large
I am different I guess however I love the nimbleness of the small, being able to make decisions without a week of worthless meetings, calls arguments
I love personal connection, with all partners on the journey, such a deep connection that leaves a virtual “fingerprint” on everything I do
Just because the connectivity of 2017 can allow us to reach the entire world does not mean we need to matter to the entire world.
not only that it is impossible to appeal to everyone and still be absolutely important as air to “someone”
I believe deeply in what artist Kevin Kelly explained in his blog post that started my stepping out of the Matrix
I am proud to be part of a community through Seth Godins #AltMBA that truly empowers leaning forward always or as we term it to #SHIP to push past #lizardbrain #theResistance
I have been in this sort of “Holding pattern” regarding the #Work I really am passionate about doing. I believe partly because its new and I fear looking stupid. I also believe it is due to the #Resistance #Lizardbrain attacking.
I remind myself daily that there is no “Right way” or “Wrong way” ONLY MY WAY to create my #Utopia Company.
As Derek Sivers wrote
“When you make a business, you get to make a little universe where you control all the laws.”
Below I am reposting a Blog entry that describes the vision I have. I will print it out today. I will edit, iterate, and I swear to all I will #DO
#MOREMOREMORE Its Time I #ACT and #DO what I know needs to be done….The microphone is collecting dust…Time to #Matter
We have never in the history of mankind possesed such ability to connect to every single place on the planet.
Growing up in the 1980s this would have been laughed at by the majority
and we have it in our hands, on a hand held computer, the smartphone
Intelligence is a swipe or click away at any second through #Google , #Wikipedia and many more
So much Positive and Great things about living in the modern age
shameful that we are forced to view the 2% Bad by media of all forms
Opportunity like Never before
Amazing Beautiful times we live in…
With all this good opens the doors to the scammer…the manipulator
In what I do, Brand Direction, Strategic development I LIVE/LOVE on the razors edge of #Passion…I get it, Im a total #Anomaly and thats totally perfect FOR ME…but what I want to describe are to polar opposites that are I see in the space I occupy and leave feedback to you…
(Given a Promising opportunity not 100% in their skill set)
The #Practitioner: Says YES (Always to great Opportunity ) Learns , Studies, Pushes boundaries to Master the craft- Yes to become a #Practicioner
This is a #linchpin a Risk Taker and a rare find
2. The #Jobber: Says YES ( looking to mystify as long as possibly) Meetings that go no place, creating busy work for everyone to create a illusion of work. As George Costanza famous did in the Seinfeld episode with “The Penskie File”.
This is a leech and by no means a PRO at anything but creating a theatrical illusion
Unfortunately brands should blame no-one but themselves.
Why? Because usually I find companies to be Exactly where they deserve to be
Why? Because they want shortcuts, Why? Because they want to live a 9-5 work life, Why? Because they think social media is ok to automate, That they don’t need to have a Direct Relationship of Gratitude to the people who literally keep their lights on! UGH!
They often ACT like they “get It” BUT 99.9% they DO NOT
The moment they get the #Jobber “pitch” the BUY!
YOU CANNOT FAKE CARING FOR LONG,
YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT….
SO CARE …and if the Story you are being “Pitched” seems too good, too everything to everyone It probably IS
“Don’t demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do happen, and you will go on well” Epictetus
This passage from Epictetus; to our inner narrative,
I feel the need to reinforce this in myself and open this thought to each of you as well
events happen…period…
results happen…period…
favorable or not so favorable…they happen…period
the only constant within my (and everyones) control is TO SHOW UP EVERYDAY AND DO THE WORK
it is a beautiful thing..
So today, look at the thing you do,
So today when you land a big sale..be happy but then reflect, It wasn’t because of me
So today when you don’t land a big sale…be content because its not because of me
So today either way minimize the reactions, because you are a Practitioner and the #work is always consistent…You are consistent…Ice in your veins…CLOSER..
If I told you the #9 start you do will be the ONE how fast would you START DOING?
Once you KNOW
WORK and STOP TALKING ABOUT IT and START DOING DOING DOING
THIS IS A NOTE TO SELF
TIME FOR BOOKS TO TAKE A BACKSEAT TO ACTION…
COLD CALL, ITERATE, LAUNCH, NETWORK, DO DO DO DO DOOOOOO
and DO
Lets all DO
Thank you @Garyvee Time to stop #Consuming
This SHIT WOKE ME UP
The #Resistance hides in #learning because you will convince yourself you never know enough….need a bit more ….one more #Udemy one more #Kindle one more #seminar
NO- DO, GO DO!
Thats it….Time to FUCK UP….See you at the FINISH LINE…GO GET IT!!
