Breaking The Rules

Children often remind us to break the rules.

For example my daughter Sierra and I sent my sister, JoJo, a video.

While we were recording live Sierra said “Happy Birthday” to her aunt.

Now, JoJo’s birthday isn’t until June 10th, but when you’re breaking the rules who cares!

You can wish people “Happy Birthday” three months early, wear shorts in the middle of wiinter, and even make up words like SIQUA.

The results from our 22 second video made JoJo’s day. Not to mention the people in her workplace were begging to play it again and again.

What rule can you break today?

And then I saw this story about their over the top service

If you want to stand out in business use CD Baby as an example and create customer service that mindfully create ways to include fun and appreciation with your clients.

Biological Evolution

The other night I was brushing my teeth when this amazing thing happened. I got a glimpse into my own eyes. Now, I’m not going to get too woo-woo on you, but it was one of those mystical moments of compete connection.

This got me thinking that one of the main reasons that breakdowns occur, in our lives, is because we are biologically outwardly focused. Although this may seem simple, we overlook it most of the time.
