Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
There’s a thread that goes through the best of everything, and it’s movement.
The greatest bonding and conversations happen between a couple that runs or walks together.
The best work is produced by those hustling around an agency, building, connecting with colleagues and actively creating.
If you’re in a rut, it’s likely because you’re standing (or worse) sitting still.
Move and the best will follow.

When you pause to appreciate a beverage before drinking it, you’ll enjoy it more.
When you eat slowly, you don’t eat as much and you feel better once you realize there are leftovers.
When you reread an email before hitting send, you’ll find spelling errors, phrases that might be interpreted in a different way than intended – and you might even find words to cut so it actually gets read.
All the important information we can take in or give happens when we slow down at the finish.
It should be a sprint until the end, not through the end.

Turn on your AC unit on the second day of 60+ degree weather.
Have a second bottle of tooth paste in the closet.
Consistently write a blog to sharpen your writing skills.
Have blank birthday cards hanging out in a drawer.
Stock a beer anyone will like in your fridge.
The list might feel endless, but they are all tasks that are very much worth doing or items worth having before you need them.
It’s all about creating scenarios in the future of thanking your past-self.

Let’s imagine for a moment that everything on your to-do list was done.
(Yea, I know it’s hard, but go with it.)
All those pesky little tasks complete. All those big projects you’ve put off starting are finally donzo, done, finished.
Then what?
What does that list look like?
If it’s time to rest on your laurels, then the tasks currently on your list might not be big enough.
If it’s time to finally follow your passion and create something meaningful, it might be worth moving that up to your present to-do list.
And those are really the only two options. You’ll either stand still or you’ll take action to keep moving forward with something remarkable.

Suggestions build trust – and there’s nothing more valuable than that.
But to get to a place to offer suggestions, that means you have had to experience something.

It should really be called reputation creation.
Reputation management relies on circumstances knocking on your door and how you handle them.
Reputation creation relies on what you do to create specific results.
It’s funny to think about a brand that wants to be known for excellent customer service because to become that they need to have a series of issues that customers call them for service for.
Better, I think, to be a brand that holds strong to values they can create rather than react to.
It’s the actions we take proactively that are more powerful and resonate more than the actions others look to us to make after the fact.

You may not know who they are yet.
They may even be many beyond who you think they are.
But they’re looking to you.
Waiting to see what you make of this, what you pivot to, what you give, what you choose to contribute.
It’s not what you do when no one is watching; it’s what you do. Period.
Stay Positive & Make Them Wait No Longer
