No one or no thing is too small to be great. Take our friend the Tug Boat here. He’s pulling a massive cargo shipped. I imagine just a few of those container on the cargo ship equal the weight of the tug boat.
But, it’s the small tug boat who is pulling the massive cargo ship.
You may be small. You may think your idea is small. Your company many be small. But it is MIGHTY. And it was born for GREATNESS!
Let me know if you agree!
Nearly every company has a Mission Statement.
Too many major corporations have statements that are stuffy and really don’t explain anything. I’ve also read many from small businesses that are plain stupid and don’t help you understand what the organization is all about.
Then there are the ones in the middle. Simple yet elegant. Profound and motivation! Statements like:
Disney: To Make People Happy
– OR –
Amazon: To be the world’s most customer-centric company
I can get behind these and not surprisingly I’m a frequent customer of both of these brands.
So how can YOU write a great mission statement? And why should you anyway?
I found this short video from Dan Heath who is the author of Made to Stick. He gives and entertaining, yet educational explanation on how to write a great mission statement.
Enjoy!
We all have a role to play. EVERYONE has someone who counts on them. Are you doing your part? Are you carrying your weight?
For years, I’ve repeated this #affirmation to myself every day. And everyday it’s been true.
The world does plot to bring good things our way, if we’re open to receive them. Too often, our hearts are hardened. We aren’t looking for the good or for the opportunity. If instead you are open to the good, you’ll see it abundantly flow into your life.
I suppose this is part of why I love working with entrepreneurs so much. It’s the group of people on earth with the most optimism, passion and enthusiasm that I’ve ever encountered.
So today my fellow #entrepreneurs, CARRY ON! Today, the world is plotting to do YOU good today … and I can’t wait to see what it is!
Everyone faces adversity. Everyone faces trails and tough times. It’s what you do in those moments that define you!
I follow a simple formula in life. I learned this from @jackcanfield
Event + Response = Outcome
How will you respond to what happens to you today? Will you break? Or will you break a record?

Everyday of my life, I thank God for the amazing ‘keeper’ I married almost 15 years ago. Her vision and drive truly are motivating to me. She makes me a better man and encourages me to be my best self.
Double tap, then tag the Keeper in your life!
As fast as we know it, you only get one shot at life. So make the best of it!
Everyday, live the life you want. Do the things that are important to you. Spend time with those you love most. Be the person you want to be.
You never know when you won’t have a tomorrow, so make the most of today.
It all starts in your mind. Your thoughts lead to your actions. You mindset also dictates you mood and what you’ll accomplish.
Here’s what Russell Wilson had to say. He’s one of the starting QB’s in today’s Super Bowl and knows a thing or two about success:
“I truly believe in positive synergy, that your positive mindset gives you a more hopeful outlook, and belief that you can do something great means you will do something great.”
Do something great today!
