Jump start your spiritual attitude the moment you open your eyes

Say this repeatedly to yourself upon awaking to jump start your spiritual attitude the moment you open your eyes,

i feel happy, i feel healthy, i feel alive.

i feel happy, i feel healthy, i feel alive.

i feel happy, i feel healthy, i feel alive.

Say it to yourself in your thoughts, or, if you are alone, say it out loud.

The repetition and ease of doing this will surprise you.

The constant, looming overwhelm needs to be destroyed

West Orange County businesses
Small business tax preparer is who i rode my bicycle to see.

 

West Highway 50 in Winter Garden
Major intersection has nine lanes to cross North to South.

 

Praying that i can accomplish today what i have been unable to accomplish for a month; simply to get caught up with all the loose ends.

Great service is driven by a clear, concise, and compelling purpose

A values-based organizational culture is always, literally without exception, going to outperform a latently-focused organization.

Humans want to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Failing to tap into that is the result of distracted, unfocused leadership – these leaders have created a culture by default that revolves around a constant sense of urgency…an urgency resulting from poorly executed priorities.

Leaders outspokenly focused on revenue, cost containment, and profit will never earn the commitment of those on their team who are not financially incentivized, which is the majority of all front-line employees.

Grounded in reality and pixie dust

Disney most admired company
While i was giving the Creating Magic Keynote, Fortune was releasing their 2016 Most Admired Companies list.

 

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it Magic. The company i spoke to is focused on stewardship. Began the leadership keynote with a powerful thought by publicly acknowledging that all 350 people in the room are in one of three revolving and unpredictable places in life:

  1. Currently going through a hell no one knows about
  2. Just coming out of a hell no one knew about
  3. About to go into a hell no one will know about

Why?

i told them it was because they needed to know i’m grounded in reality, in spite of the overwhelmingly high standards i was about to share.

PS. yesterday, February 19, 2016, Fortune named Disney #5, up one from #6 last year.
