My research statistically supports this image’s claim.

i’ve made more mistakes speaking than most people have given speeches.

Started saying this “quote” after a decade of Disney Institute keynotes and multi-day sessions.

‘Tis true.

My early-years mistakes were from ignorance. My later-years mistakes where from peddle-to-the metal risk taking to become a remarkably more effective speaker and advisor.

If i wasn’t failing, i wasn’t growing.

If i wasn’t growing, i wasn’t satisfied, nor fulfilled, nor was i having fun.

The risk is the distance and the elevation gain may be too much.

Got risk-taking abilities, habits, and desire?

Photos slow you down

Photos slow you down.

Writing is the easy part.

Searching for a decently-themed photo is time consuming. Both from selecting to the administrative blogging functions required to load and format each image.

Life is an HQ gamble

HQ houses life’s other four big choices: mind, body, spirit, and work.

Life is an HQ gamble.

Running your life like a business is a gamble.

So is running your life like it is not a business.

You are emboldened with confidence to achieve personal vibrancy – by over-focusing on life’s basics…

Or, you are looking for your favorite hole in the sand to put your head.

Risk never procrastinates

Box full of neck ties
Prioritized priorities help make your yeses and your noes easier to commit to. Donated 100+ neckties. Why? Because wearing ties no longer is important. Wearing ties is still important to someone else.

Habitually procrastinating because you are not organized is a risk.
