The genesis story gets lost

mineral spring at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
In the rear of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge lobby, is this bubbling mineral hot spring, Silver Springs. The entire Resort was built around it, and because of it. It’s the genesis story. It’s essentially lost. What does one gain by never losing the origin story?

There are single thoughts that contain the essence of a whole volume, single sentences that have the beauties of a large work.

Project wind sprints

The extra inch (bottom left) traces back to 2011 when i began operationalizing the gift Kendal didn’t know he unwrapped.

Project wind sprints – a vision for how leaders (myself included) generally have contrasting (and reversed) priorities and outcomes during a project lifecycle.

We don’t sprint at the end, we sprint at the beginning. This is the best vision.

We don’t make compromises simply because bad planning means we’re running out of time. Also a great vision.

We eagerly highlight the challenges ahead, but spend no time casting blame after something fails. Perfect vision.

You cool with that?

You get that in real life we procrastinate the start, panic near the end, and scramble frantically to meet our deadline, right?

Be the change. Lead the great vision. Buck the herd mentality.

  • Require one main contact
  • Behave intensely & intentionally
  • Have fun (non-negotiable)
  • Be flexible
  • Push all boundaries
  • Lean into discomfort and lean on Florence
  • Question everything
  • Challenge everything
  • Sniff out excuses
  • Dress casually
  • Be your greatest teacher
  • Answer questions with “it depends” or by asking a question, or both

Will not:

  • Give less than 110%
  • Accept status quo

Edgy sells. Why? It’s rare, hence valuable.

Edgy, but not quite edgy enough.

Can you imagine publishing a self-help or personal development book?

There’s a ton of competition.

Some get special, coveted placement.

Your blindspot, from an astute observer, is…

Clarity.

What a gift.

The random opportunity was extraordinary.

Speed helps medicate us and distract us from reality

Speed helps medicate us and distract us from reality.

Beauty isn’t seen in a rush.

Clarity isn’t revealed in a hurry.

Change isn’t lasting as we constantly sprint.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Yet we often need to push the pedal to the metal to get “everything” done.

Maybe we aren’t proficient at shedding certain things we do – things that others could, should, and need to be doing?

And finally, what are we doing that doesn’t need to be done at all?

To delegate (hire others) things we used to do ourselves – yardwork, auto maintenance, basic home repairs, etc.

To stop doing things we’ve always done – mindlessly watching TV late in the evening, hitting the snooze button, buying (and collecting) books we’ll never read, etc.
