For a business to succeed, it needs two types of personal-ness.

The first is personalization. How can you adapt your offering for those who come to you? What tweaks can you make for it to become unique? How do you differ guest interactions?

The second is personality. How can you bring the best, smartest most sincere energy to the customer? What can you do to alter your staff training so guests feel seen as human from everyone who serves them?

Hope isn’t strong enough for attracting what or who we’d like.

That result requires design, attention, action and care.

But first, it requires knowing what or who we’d like to attract.

Once we know, we can start to be that for others.

Want to make a friend? Be a friend. Want to be loved? Love first and more. Want your business to have people who talk about politics? Talk politics. Want too attract the avant-garde? Be the avant-garde.

Then once you’re it. Surround yourself with more of it.

Not everything in life is like a sheet of glass and a rock; it’s much more difficult to breakthrough.

The meaningful work requires a lot of swings at the bat, it requires a lot of empathy – repeated.

In short, breakthroughs happen as a result of consistently showing up again and again and again.

And breakthroughs don’t just need to be about the work either. They can be about the people and earning their trust, too.

You’ll likely make some incredible friends this way.

Naturally you often get a better product when you go to where the experts are.

But that’s not all.

You also often get a heightened experience that becomes something worth sharing with others.

You also often get knowledge outside the specific product you’re purchasing, giving you more confidence in your selection overall.

You also often get to feed off the passion of someone else.

That knowledge, passion, energy and value is all built in.

Stay Positive & Surround Yourself With Experts

Instead of looking for how you can make your mark on a project.

Instead of looking for how you can use your skill set to help out right now.

Instead of looking for how you can change direction of the ship.

It’s worth catching up with the team, understanding where they’ve been and how they got to where they are now. What discussions they’ve had that led them to where they are; to connect with them on the challenges they’ve already faced.

To change things up, you need to be trusted. To be trusted, you have to catch up.

The reality of our days is that we’re not all in enough.

We’re sorta there in conversations.

Kinda paying attention in meetings.

A little bit focused on the task in front of us.

But that’s not how magic happens. It’s not when luck shows up. It’s not how to build momentum or find meaningful results.

Giving it your all isn’t hard, when we think about it, either.

We already have something in front of us, already engaged, already have our toes dipped in.

All we need to do is turn the dial up and put the blinders on from what’s trying to interrupt us. All we need to do is deeply focus.

The only consistent thread of good fortune is action.

Good luck doesn’t happen to those who aren’t putting their work out there.

A lucky streak can’t happen to those who never take a shot (or a second or a third).

Lucky timing won’t happen to those who don’t put in the hours.
