You want to know everything.
But just because it’s knowledge to obtain, it doesn’t mean you ought to obtain it.
Don’t be afraid to make the hard decision: Decided indifference.
Some stuff just isn’t worth learning.
When you’re running and finally hit your stride, there’s always a stop light ready to slow you down.
What a perfect time to breathe?
Your natural reaction might be anger.
Or disgust.
Or disappointment.
But what’s that gonna get you?
Instead resist getting angry.
Just laugh.
Because who are you more likely to respond to?
The guy who’s mad at you?
Or the guy who is laughing at you.
The most comfortable office chairs cost several hundreds of dollars.
They have mesh seats. Adjustable arm rests. Hundreds of configurations.
They’re so good, you never need to get up.
But, I’m not so sure that’s a good thing.
If my desk chair were THAT good, I’d probably never get up.
So, cheers to mediocre desk chairs.
Thanks to you, I stand up for phone calls. I refill my water bottle. And I move my body when it would otherwise be tempting to not.
Easiest way to make your job easy:
Be yourself.
It takes a ton of energy to constantly be someone you’re not. Eventually, you’ll get burned out.
The real you is a light that burns forever.
Instead of guessing what your customers, clients, and fans want, why not ask them?
What do you need more of?
What should be easier than it was yesterday?
What are you tired of seeing, hearing, reading?
Now you’re a helper.
And you’re giving them what they want.
Isn’t that what you want?
Every successful talk, blog post or argument I’ve made lately has had one common thread.
It’s the single best way to persuade your audience.
And, it makes you focus on the problem, first.
Use it for your next everything.
You’re welcome.
As of today, 10/30/14, my goal is to be known as a leader among health & wellness advocates.
If it doesn’t get me closer to the goal, I’m not doing it.
Thanks and have a great day.
Love,
Lenny
P.S. I’m still going to help with my mother’s business because I love her. And, because I could make an argument that not doing so would be detrimental to her and my health & wellness.
Memorization, in the traditional sense, is horrible for speeches.
Acronyms to remember wording and order?a
Feh.
Learn the first and last sentence of each big idea by practicing them in front of a camera until you remember them and do them perfectly.
That eliminates any need for traditional memorization.
And, it makes speeches go flawlessly.
No nerves.
Just fun.
Trying to make something go viral is a great way to guarantee your content doesn’t go viral.
That also takes ALL the fun out of your work.
Have fun first. Attention will follow.
