Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
Ever ask or been asked “How do you know so much?”
Unlikely the answer is reading all the books or specific years of experience.
Turns out the lessons we learn that get us to a successful space are found where we look for them.
Stay Positive & Eyes Open
I’ve been asked how I can write a post every day. The how is that I look for lessons in every moment of every day. No shortage of lessons to learn when you look for them.

Ol’ Zig had the saying that you can have anything you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want in life.
It’s a beautiful strategy, but lacks the tactic to support it.
It’s not about you running around and getting what someone needs, it’s about lending a helping hand in a way that makes it easier for them to get what they want. (The reality is they are the ones who need to get it, not you.)
Consider the phrase “I’ll take care of it.” You can give someone peace of mind on one thing so they can focus on getting what really matters to them.
The quickest way to move up is helping people, and you help people by making it easy for them in whatever way you can imagine.

How big do you want to get?
Do you want to get famous enough that everyone knows your name? Do you want to make just enough to happily raise a couple of children? Do you want to be well-known in a specific social circle or neighborhood?
Knowing the end goal makes it infinitely easier to craft the path to it.

Certainly it’s not your fault.
It’s not the manager’s.
Not the intern’s.
Not the receptionists, CEO’s or even the city’s.
Probably not your family’s.
Not your friend’s fault, either.
Probably not that one person whose name you can’t remember.
It’s not fate’s fault.
Your co-worker isn’t to blame.
Not your dog’s fault.
Not your neighbor’s dog, either.
In all the time you work to find someone to blame, you could have moved on.

Key mindset of preparation is to prepare for more.
More photos during a shoot.
More customers in line.
More online orders.
More special requests.
More people referring friends.
Can your business handle more? It ought to.
Stay Positive & More Is More

Feedback is a lot like planting a tree.
The best time to have done it is years ago.
The next best time is now.
Give the feedback in the moment, before it builds.
You’ll help yourself and the other by doing so.

It takes time to come up with an idea.
It then takes time to finesse the idea.
If you try to combine the two actions, you’ll end up with codswallop.
