Embrace the Crazy, Manage Your Expectations, and Be Immune to Discomfort

Navigating through business and through life requires several skills:

• Maintaining a balance between pro-activity and re-activity.
• Knowing when to procrastinate and when to get things done.
• Having goals while being able to turn on a dime at a moment’s notice.
• Carefully choosing when to get counsel and when to lick your wounds in private.

My friend and marketing master Dan Kennedy once said, “Success is a messy kitchen.”

May your kitchen stay messy.

It’s a good thing.

No, it’s a great thing.

No, it’s required!

So before you think that your life, your situation, and your challenges is/are/will be different…

I assure you, they’re not.

Successful people have more, not fewer, challenges.

So don’t hope for luck or an easy life.

Train for strength.

Think, plan, execute.

You WILL succeed provided that you think accurately, manage your time,  and most importantly…

Get the right things DONE. 🙂
