The meaning behind chairs will be revealed as time goes by – much like life itself

Mid Life Celebration has created logo art that revolves around a chair and a box.

Think Apple computer. Apple is not a fruit company. And the reason Apple added the bite in their logo is so consumers would not mistake the apple for a cherrie. The bite adds perspective. True story.

I hope you dance with the knowledge that it is great to be alive

The same way that representing the United States at the Masters Track & Field World Championships would catapulte your confidence is the same phenomenon humbly expected to occur in a few hours upon opening that UPS box.

Hoping we dance with the knowledge that it is great to be alive.

We all know life is a gift, but mostly we live as if no one told us.

The funny thing about a screaming contest and butterflies

Quote on priorities
Updated and revised: They never scream loud enough.

 

Been a while since I’ve swallowed butterflies this big. There was a time when I sounded like a broken record talking about my (future) best selling book. Why? Because for two years it was actively being created. And then fear sucked out all the energy. And progress stopped. Completely.

Those days are over.

Be willing to accept frustration and obstacles if…

The challenge with getting and staying organized is how often the pressure is high. Unrelenting it seems is the norm.

Stumbled upon another to-do item last night. Amazon Author page.

This led to another issue. Book pricing.

What was requested and what has actually happened is way off.

Insight: Be willing to accept frustration and obstacles if you are going to do most things radically different from societal (or industry) norms.

Sending mixed messages demonstrates a service gap in organization

 

By lunch yesterday an email arrived much sooner than expected and contained the video trailer above. We like when this happens don’t we? It exceeds our expectations and it demonstrates a great customer service mantra.

Driving home later (a Friday), ever get hit with a zinger from the same company, but a different department?

The accounting department wanted proof I own Mid Life Celebration, LLC.

The W-9 they were now requesting was filled out (and sent in two months prior) and included the EIN (the business’s social security number if you will). There was no further request for anything else.

Weird. Awkward even.

To ask for ‘proof’ after the fact is really weird and sends a mixed message about how organized the organization is.
