Jumpstart - A Little is Better Than a Lot

When I was a kid, I wanted to play the drums but my mother, however, insisted we all learn to play piano first before moving on to other instruments.

My teacher Miss Nell required a practice journal at each lesson -- I hated the piano and so I rarely practiced.

I decided to do a week’s worth of practice in one day pushing myself through 3 hours of clunky scales but rather than improving, I discovered:

• This made me hate the piano even more
• A little every day adds up to a lot more than a lot now and then
• Little consistencies are the secret to great lives

Let’s talk about how to incorporate little things that improve your life into your day starting now >>>

Jumpstart - Anchors

One of my all-time favorite quotations is from the French poet Collete, “I lived a wonderful life, it’s too bad I didn’t realize it at the time.”

• Do you ever long to go back and enjoy something now lost to you?
• Do you feel like life is always pushing you forward with lots of stress and little joy?
• Do you find yourself taking important people and moments for granted?

If you said “yes” to any of these questions, this JumpStart will help you begin to enjoy life more in the moment rather than as a hazy past memory.

You have a wonderful life; it’s time to start enjoying it now >>>

Jumpstart - Everybody’s a grape

Remember the California Raisins?

They were claymation commercial characters promoting raisins from California to the world dancing to “Heard it through the grapevine.”

(Really great marketing if I remember it all these years, right?)

Well, raisins come from grapes and today I’m traveling to deliver a speech at a winery so I wanted to remind you of some important lessons we can learn from grapes:

• Our options are ripe or rot (just like a grape)
• You can choose who and what causes you to ripen (unlike a grape)
• One thing determines 90% of who you are (and you can control it)

Begin now to consciously choose who are you are “ripening into” >>>

Jumpstart - Change Targets

During World War II, Winston Churchill endured incredible stress as he tried to liberate the allies from the encroachment of Germany.

Every day he made life and death situation and the pressure was in calculable.

However, Churchill had a strategy for releasing the pressure - he changed targets.

Today let’s talk about:

* How obsessive focus is both a positive and negative thing

* How to find something that is going to force us to change targets

* Why what most people try does not work

Jumpstart - Onward, Forward

One of the things I love about speaking in Indianapolis, IN is going to the Rhythm! Discovery Center in downtown, which is an interactive museum about drums and drumming.

There behind glass, you’ll get to see one of the actual drums played to inspire Napolean’s troops forward in battle.

Did you know that Napolean’s drummers were taught only the march forward drum pattern and were never taught how to signal a retreat.  

Why? Because “retreat” was not in Napolean’s vernacular.

In today’s JumpStart learn:

• Why “Onward, Forward,” is the best way to live life (Yep, another Ted Lasso reference)
• Why retreating from life leads to decay and unhappiness
• How to begin moving forward and living life more fully starting now

Charge!!!  >>>

• How we can make the United States better starting now?
• What the future of our country might be in 100 years?

In this salute to the United States, let’s unpack these questions and more >>>

JumpStart - Apple A Day 8 - “It’s About What You Do”

Do you know someone who’s smart and constantly tells you things but rarely takes action on what he or she knows?

Booker T. Washington saw this common human frailty 100 years ago when he stated:  “The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what the man or woman is able do that counts.” 

• So, what do you know?
• What are you doing with this knowledge?
• How might you improve your life and other people’s lives with what you know?

Let’s get started doing rather than just knowing starting right now >>>
