Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
Of course it will be awkward if that’s what you intend to make it.
It can be scary, too, if that’s the mindset you enter with.
Otherwise, it can go really, really well if that’s what you’re working toward.
The energy is what you make it.
You change the outcome by changing the headspace you bring.

We’re all in it.
The cashier is in the ideas business. So is a nurse. So is a marketer and a dog walker.
Ideas to move our work forward. Ideas to change our culture. Ideas to make things better.
It’s not good for anyone when a day goes by without an idea or two.

Doing things for the money leads to a lack of authenticity and connection.
There are risks at large that may not exist if you were to do it for something else; say a guest experience or because what you’re doing helps change the culture.
Money isn’t a fair rationale if your goal is to make an impact on the world.
Certainly it’s a byproduct, but not one to base customer interaction decisions on, cut corners on or use as an excuse when the consequences of doing things for the money becomes real.

Patience doesn’t mean inaction.
More so it’s an opportunity to focus on another path of action.
Better to always keep moving.

Hands down, keep throwing spaghetti on the wall and seeing what sticks. Put yourself and your ideas out there. Show up again and again.
And if you find nothing you’re throwing is sticking.
Find a new wall.

Leaping is more of a solo act. It’s about vulnerability and personal goals. Taking a leap gets us from where we are to where we want to be while being in terms with the risk of not making it. It’s close to our hearts and often (rightfully) self gratifying.
We need people to leap. It redefines worldviews and, quite frankly, what makes life worth living.
Launching is important, too, but it’s more of a collaborate effort. It requires tension and an audience. Launching an idea changes the world around us; how people interact, the culture, and inspires others to launch, too.
We need people to launch. It raises the bar for average and, quite frankly, what makes life worth living.

Even when a task goes awry, it’s infinitely better than what would have happened if we didn’t do the work in the first place.
The cost of failure may be more than the cost of success, but it’s certainly not more than the cost of doing nothing.
If winning the game is about providing the most value, the path to winning is getting out what you can from both success and failures.
And the path to losing? Well, I think that’s clear enough.
