I help clinical leaders (nurses, techs, therapists) with clarity, confidence & consistency ... improving performance in leadership, operations & quality.
Big fan of people who are “trying.”
Whoever you are, and wherever you are in your journey…hang in there, keep going, and I’m rooting for you.
Anyone who has built from nothing, knows how hard it is. LFG.
Underrated cheat code:
Believing you are the outlier, that you can do things others cannot do...
... and then working relentlessly to make it the truth.
I believe this statement to be true: It’s not happening to you… it is just happening.
Therefore, these statements must also be true:
They don’t hate YOU… they hate.
They aren’t attacking YOU… they attack.
They aren’t working against YOU… they work against.
They haven’t forgotten about YOU… they forget.
Once you take yourself out of the equation, there is nothing left to offer, but peace and grace… Why? Because humans aren’t perfect.
It's not always bad to "burn your bridges."
Sometimes, they're not a bridge to anything positive, useful, or good.
In those cases, it can be absolutely appropriate to throw the match, burn it down, and never look back.
My grandfather told me this: "You’ll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary." You can get pretty damn far in life by just being someone that people can count on to show up and do the work. I'll never forget that.
Every person who wants to make a difference at some point has to decide whether they care more about the peoples lives they’re changing or the peoples opinions they’re offending.
@SahilBloom This type of trait is great for bringing the haters out, so then I just double down on the enthusiasm. This trait is exciting and energizing for positive people, yet infuriating for negative people.
This is so great!! The World Cup might have been the 250th celebration we didn’t know we needed. Nothing more American than the melting pot of cultures!
One of the reasons, I think, is people say they want you to succeed… yet only if it meets two conditions. 1) not more successful than them 2) not anything out of the box.
As long as you stay away from those 2 things you will hear, “That sounds great. I am so excited for you.” Honestly, you might still hear that even with one of things above, but it likely won’t be sincere.
Pass the baton to yourself in each decade
There's no reason that you have to look back on your younger years as the best years of your life
You can make each decade better, in a multitude of ways without having to keep going backwards
But you have to set that standard
@drgurner Exactly. Many people who won the lottery have went broke. Pro athletes making millions and millions have went broke. Money rarely (if ever) changes habits and discipline… when it does change, it usually not LESS consumption.
