Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
What people do with their up time changes the world.
I’d argue, that what people do with their down time changes it even more.
A lot more energy is put into it, a lot more flow, a lot more community and a lot more care.
Which is why it’s important to take inventory of the down time.

There’s the easy path and the efficient path.
It doesn’t do one well to confuse the easy one with the efficient one.

We’re terrible at making the call on things that are not worth our time.
It’s usually after we’re too far in or wasted too much or merely face so much adversity that it’s a great cop out.
But we don’t say it for a lot of things we should.
For things that waste time. For building skills we’ll never meaningfully use. For relationships with dead ends.
You can decide sooner that something isn’t worth your time.
It’s better when you do, because that gives you more time to give to something that is worth it.

There are two ways to show up.
There’s the way that you are the one at center, talking, sharing the edutainment.
Then there’s the way that you are the one being talked about.
(No, I’m not talking about being written up in reviews, but actually in regard to being remarkable [that is, worth being remarked about].)
Those who are frequent and loud might get attention, but they rarely get loyalty.
Loyalty really kicks in when the other half of showing up does.
What can you do to get seen is a different answer than what can you do to get talked about? Not always different, but often.

In an unsaturated market, confidence sells.
When consumers are longing for reassurance, the one that emanates confidence wins out.
But all markets are becoming more saturated. And even in the markets that are unsaturated, consumers are getting smarter and smarter – seeking reassurance in multiple places.
Which begs the question of what you have when a competitor has as much confidence as you do?
Then what do you win on?
