Life Is a Test…

• …of who we are and who we can become

See What Can’t Be Seen©

• Boldly envision something worth striving for

Be Unreasonable©

• The world is choking on what has become normal, usual and expected
• Make the previously unthinkable imminently doable

Be Insecure©

• Act on your vision before you are secure about every detail
• You can’t steal second without taking your foot off first

Burn the Ships©

• Architect situations so that the chosen direction becomes the only direction
• Success or failure against the vision are the only potential outcomes

Behave As-If©

• The surest path to achieving a vision of success is to begin assuming the characteristics of the future image as soon as you commit to it

Race with Blinders©

• Apply mental blinders as a shield from the endless onslaught of information and stimuli in the environment, most of which has nothing to do with achieving your goals

Nothing But the Truth©

• Truth is respected above almost all else – starting with being relentlessly honest with yourself
• Say what you mean and do what you say you’ll do
• The quality of your character will determine your net worth

Be a Lighthouse©

• Be clear and steadfast about what you stand for
• Be calm and strong in the storm – show the way
• “Do the right thing”…even when it’s very difficult to do so

Own Yourself©

• Be fully accountable for your behavior
• Accept responsibility for the results of your actions

The Only Thing That Matters…

• …is what works
• Pay attention to the real impact of your actions – despite your intentions, are you making things better?
• If “it’s not working,” always be willing to reconsider your view and approach
