It dawns on me that I’ve been doing points 1/2/3 full-bore for years. I’m sitting in Newark airport following a trip to NYC where I witnessed some really great payoff from that approach, won’t bore you with details. Point 3 especially tells the tale. Now for #4 and following.

I’m surmising that the Vision statement should as short and pithy as possible, with Strategy also sparing of words and very to the point. Yes?

On my first draft on Strategy, I keep circling back to ‘My industry sucks because it attracts hustlers and boneheads–I want to run my shop in complete opposition to that approach.’ That probably needs refinement…

Thanks BRC!

No fear: Have a 50 caliber rifle, semi-automatic, at your shoulder, with a full clip.

Fear: The same but the clip is empty.

Lesson: Always have extra, full clips.

Thanks, Ellen. When I think of “fearless” I think of you.

Keep crushing it.

Learned alot from you Big Bad Red Car, you. Yeah fear is an ABSOLUTE UTTER waste of hours, sweat, heartbeats – so I fully concur. Gotta look fear in the face and be the bigger shadow of that bad-boy-fear. Strong words – and believe you me, I still also have to convince myself of them and likely will always, but they are right. Face fear head on, push past it, breathe deep, until the next round – and again, DONT WASTE TIME on fear – you never get time back.
