Do you want peace and contentment in your life?
Do you want peace and contentment in your life?
You have to establish, maintain, and ultimately, keep improving systems and processes you control.
The long way is the short cut.

True story about starting with a blank page
Stumbled upon this yesterday.
Wrote it in 2011…
A woman on the plane today spoke of not knowing what she wants to do with her life. So I suggested she start with a blank page, “God put me here to…”, and don’t stop writing until what you read makes you cry.
It is still my number one piece of advice when people are desperate to find their purpose in life.
If you’re not desperate, you won’t be motivated enough.
It worked for me in 2008.

Board of Directors advice
From a spiritual perspective, Jesus is the Chairman of my Board of Directors.
My earthly Board Chairman is JB.
What i envisioned as a quick 3-minute conversation while biking to the gym yesterday, turned into an almost 2-hour conversation.
i asked, “Is it egregious for me to accept bargain basement prices for a multi-day contract when i can make significantly more for a 60-minute Keynote?”
Their current year fee-proposal is significantly less than last year’s deeply discounted contract.
My offer for their out-of-state contract includes volume discount, up-front pricing, and consideration for our previous work – which was steeply discounted last year to earn their business (an experiment on my end, if you will).
If out-of-state Keynote Speeches earn $25k and Orlando Keynotes earn $15k – which includes a $7,500k discount for zero-travel, plus a $2.5k discount for 100% upfront payment). – is it a poor distracting business decision?
JB asked what my priorities are.
“To launch our 11th-grade Son into the real world in 2019. To help organizations who want to change the world. And to make alot of money to give to a cause i support.”
The math:
- Three days away from home for a total fee under $10k
- or…
- A couple hours, leaving and returning to my driveway on the same day, for $15k.
To me, it feels egregious.
PS. Disney Institute just proposed a $46k one-day Orlando seminar (but not on Disney property) to a potential client who contacted me to see if i can do the same thing at a lower cost. Of course. My daily fee (transparently posted on my website) is $39k. However, if it’s in Orlando, and 100% paid upfront, my $39k fee is reduced enough to become a steal compared to Disney Institute.
Literally a steal.
So now that “steal”, compared to what the multi-day client is proposing can be defined only as a glaringly poor business decision.

Who do you play for?
Who do you play for?
The American team had just lost an exhibition hockey game in Europe.
Coach Brooks had the team stay on the ice afterward – even as the crowd left and the arena lights were eventually shut off.
The drill was the same…
Assistant coach blows the whistle, team skates the “conditioning” drill and team lines back up to begin again.
Until.
Until someone correctly answered the question, “Who do you play for?”
