Show up ready to go!

This simple idea was brought to us from the comments section by Bill Whyte. If you SHOW UP, and you are ready to go, you are ahead of most people. Showing up ready, physically, emotionally and with the right attitude, is half the battle. Many people don't get that far.…

This crap is a setup…

Adversity and problems in your life? It's a setup for things to come. They could be good or great things if you learn, get smarter, change, and don't give up or be a victim.

Too often we say we like a policy or something that is going on in the world depending on if it serves our interest or not. Too seldom do we say "It's not right" when it serves our interest. For example, if someone shows up at your front door to…

Begin the day with a friendly voice
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that’s so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood

Interesting thought…methinks you can arrive at the end of a journey, it’s what you learned along the way that is so important

Rush is one of my favorite rock bands. My brother Steve and I had front row center tickets at the Tweeter Center in MA. He worked for Tweeter Etc. Neil Peart was the best drummer of all time!

Rush fan here. My first (second and third) concerts at Market Square Arena, Indianapolis 1983,84,85ish. Took my future wife to a show once and she claims she was the only female in attendance!

Rush Limbaugh, R.I.P. (Feb. 17, 2021). I liked his style, and was a fan of his radio program.

Huge Rush fan here! Saw them countless times from the 80s up until they retired. Recently saw a Rush tribute band. “Lotus Land”. They did a well done job! RIP Neil, you are missed very much!

Everyone likes to dance after a victory, but the # of folks who do the work to train for that is astonishingly low.

Agreed. My morning is designed around priming me for productivity, success and growth. It took me some time to understand the power of preparation, what it means and takes. For me, the work starts way before I hit the office. I love my morning rituals and the confidence that comes with really being ready to tackle my day! Once primed, execution and decision making is easier.
Great post.

We often say to our kids — “half of life is just showing up”, and then if you can add “on time” and “prepared” to that, you’ve got it made!

I think that showing up ready to go is a learned trait and I am grateful for those who provided me with the lessons because passing it on can be a frustrating task.

True statement. The right attitude and frame of mind will carry over to prospective clients and to co-workers as well. Positivity breeds Positivity!

Success happens when opportunity meets preparedness. We have new opportunities everyday and if we come prepared we will have success!

It’s not the challenge that you face that determines your character. It’s how you address it.
Barry Gordy. the founder of Motown Recording and Production Studios put it best. “Innovate or Stagnate”.

Looking from the view that we are all “artists” creating our lives, another version
“A writer—and, I believe, generally all persons—must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.”
— Jorge Luis Borges

Much appreciated Larry. I feel like it’s important to know where you came from so that you know where you’re going.

Ideas Matter

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

Too often we say we like a policy or something that is going on in the world depending on if it serves our interest or not.

Too seldom do we say “It’s not right” when it serves our interest.

For example, if someone shows up at your front door to sell goods at a deeply discounted price, we say “great”. That’s because it’s good for you. What if you knew that those goods were stolen from your neighbor the night before? That should change your mind, right?

What if a rival of yours was robbed? Your Mom’s house was robbed?

What if taxes went up, but you weren’t paying any anyway? Would you care? What if you were getting benefits, but your children would pay for them later? Someone else’s children?

We need principles that work in the world, and stop judging good or bad based solely on whether it serves our current immediate interest.

In order to develop a good philosophy, we need to learn (a lot) more about the world, history, and economics. We need to learn from multiple sources, not just ones who are looking to copy their own philosophy, sell something, or hold our attention by dispensing fear and drama. We need to be objective, and look at what has really worked and what has not.

Do you know enough to have a philosophy that works in the world?

Definitely agree. In order to make this truly successful, it is important to have fixed stars to navigate by so that the decisions can be made and subordinated to principles that truly impact the right things.

Hey Larry,
I wish more people would think this way. Then they wouldn’t have to worry about waking up in the morning and regret some of their choices.

As a Christian I look at things differently than a lot of other people and one of the universal characteristics of every person from the day they are born is that they are selfish. Our job as parents is to convert that selfish child into a self-less adult. Self-less doesn’t mean we don’t care for ourselves but that we put other’s needs ahead of our own. The reality is that you can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want. (Zig Ziglar) It is also true that there is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit. (Ronald Reagan) If we were guided by the principles above then we would consider our actions differently.

"Affectionate Asskicker"

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

Having someone who we know cares about us, but still calls us on our crap and challenges us to be better is a good thing. You can’t pull anything on this person – and they know when you are making excuses and when you can do better – and they tell you the truth.

Who is your affectionate ass-kicker?

Even amongst employees, we are quick to label the person that doesn’t agree with us as “counter-cultural” or “not buying in”. Provided you are approachable, and they are only telling YOU what you don’t want to hear, they might well be your biggest asset.
