3 Things on Innovation

A colleague of mine, Erik Hansen, is Tom Peters’ brand manager.  In case you did not know, I am one of Tom’s “Cool Friends.”  You can read my interview on TomPeters.com.

The other day, while relaxing after a brainstorming session, Erik whipped out his video camera and decided to interview me.  What you see below is totally unrehearsed, unprepared, and uncensored.

Want What You Have

I was just having a conversation with a good friend of mine. She’s currently in a bit of a funk because life is not turning out the way she expected. From an external perspective, she has an incredible life. But that doesn’t matter. She is still not happy. As we continued the conversation, we discovered that her expectations were the primary source of her disappointment.

Then, with her permission, I read her a brief passage from my Goal-Free Living book. It seemed to strike a chord with her and she requested that I start recording passages from the book for my blog.

Here is the first of many “5 minute motivational moments.” Today’s installment is from the chapter entitled, “Want What You Have.”
