In 2007, I received an unexpected call from Stephen M. R. Covey, former CEO of FranklinCovey and author of the bestselling book, The Speed of Trust.⁣⁣⁣ He asked to meet with me.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ We sat down in his conference room, and Covey told me that after hearing me speak at a recent event he hoped I might consider coming to work for him presenting Speed of Trust trainings.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ As soon as I scooped my jaw off the floor, I told him that, although I was incredibly flattered, I felt I was too young and inexperienced even to entertain the idea.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I asked, “What would the gray hairs think?”⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Then, Covey taught me a priceless principle that would forever change my outlook on the nature of education and experience.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ He said,⁣⁣⁣ “Richie, experience is overrated. Some people say they have twenty years’ experience, when, in reality, they only have one year’s experience, repeated twenty times.”⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ That statement blew my mind and opened windows of opportunity all around me.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ In an instant, I felt free from the self-inflicted mental bondage I had created for myself about my age and my feelings of experience-based inadequacy.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I realized that if something was important enough to me, if I was truly committed to achieving success, I could learn what I needed to know along the way!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s not the circumstances that we should feel threatened by, it’s the fear of the circumstances that poses the real threat.⁣⁣ ⁣ What are you not ready to do that you should do anyway?⁣ ⁣ Can I get an amen?⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #management #entrepreneurship #work #leadership ⁣⁣#richienorton #stephencovey #stephencoveyquotes #7habits #speedoftrust ⁣⁣ ❤️🙏❤️ (at North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3gkJM7BR10/?igshid=fe2kxiqcol89

Can you see the boot on my foot? I broke my ankle climbing in Yosemite. I had also give a Talk in Atlanta with the broken ankle but...no boot. I just flew from SFO to ATL broken. People pushed me in wheelchairs and I got crutches from Walgreens. Hahaha! Good times. ⁣ Let’s globe trot making products and services that make meaning and millions. Wanna?⁣ ⁣ Who likes this idea? The idea that you can be anywhere and make a living and be with your loved ones.⁣ ⁣ It actually used to be this way in the past. The industrial revolution changed all that for better and worse. ⁣ And yet... Today, there is a new opportunity.⁣ ⁣ Do you realize people used to have to call a travel agent to buy a flight? Do you realize you used to have to mail letters to correspond? I don’t think we do. I don’t think we understand how lucky we are today. ⁣ Are you wasting this opportunity our ancestors, grandparents and parents built for us? 🔥🔥 All of us alive are generation living. Start living. 🔥🔥 What’s stopping you? ⁣ Your Plan B is stopping you from executing Plan A. ⁣ Your dreams are pushed aside as you build a false safety net. “And then there is the most dangerous risk of all -- the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” - Randy Komisar ⁣ Plan A is actually the way.⁣ ⁣ Get rid of Plan B.⁣ ⁣ #richienorton #ruckuslist⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/BwdUvQ9BRWE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w2kcjcadl5cg

In 1900, Albert Einstein was a desperate job hunter.⁣ ⁣ It took Einstein nine years before he became a professor despite best efforts after college. He blamed his difficult situation on his physics professor Heinrich Weber who held a grudge against him and provided unfavorable references.⁣ Einstein said,”I could have found a job long ago had it not been for Weber’s underhandedness.” Apparantly, Weber was an early fan of Einstein in college but changed his mind because Einstein “skived” his lectures.⁣ ⁣ Weber said,⁣ “You are a clever boy, Einstein, a very clever boy indeed. But you have a great shortcoming: you don’t listen to anyone!”⁣ ⁣ Einstein, as it’s written, was a rebellious student who didn’t respect traditional schooling and received bad grades (except math and physics).⁣ ⁣ Einstein was a nonconformist.⁣ ⁣ Unemployed and frustrated, Einstein gave up and decided to take a job he didn’t want: clerk at the Swiss patent office.⁣ ⁣ Although Einstein was smart, his life to this point included a string of people in his path who didn’t understand his genius. In fact, Einstein didn’t speak until he was four and was nicknamed “der Depperte” — the dopey one. The dopey moniker seemed to follow him throughout his early career.⁣ ⁣ “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” — Albert Einstein⁣ ⁣ Freedom rings when you realize you can become what you never thought you could become.⁣ ⁣ Freedom on the inside happens when validation from the outside doesn’t matter. ⁣ ⁣ #richienorton #einstein #alberteinstein #motivation (at North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwN_zV4h1Bg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ek5jx68236hy

That’s how you need to think if you’re looking to go out on your own or level up your profession or business model.⁣ ⁣ “I’ll max out at about $60,000 a year working for someone else. That’s $5,000 a month. I could make $5,000 a month as a freelancer if I get five clients who pay me $1,000 a month.”⁣ ⁣ Let’s look at the reality of work in America from the perspective of someone entering the workforce today:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ • Small business in America makes up 99.7% of employers (less than 500 workers).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ • Median tenure with an employer in America is only 4.6 years.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ • Median wage in America is about $57,000.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Given a choice, where would you go?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Modern work is shifting to contractors and entrepreneurs and corporate is switching to automate. Are you paying attention? You should because attention will pay you if you want to participate in the new global workforce.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “The demands of shifting workforce demographics and the global customer base are real. By 2025, 80% of the workforce will be comprised of Millennials. Management practices from past decades must transform in order to motivate today’s talent and the talent of the future.” — Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson, co-CEOs of CultureRx®⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “The most creative ideas aren’t going to come while sitting in front of your monitor,” — Scott Birnbaum, a vice president of Samsung Semiconductor⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ***As a side note, if the only reason you’re staying in your job is for “the benefits,” take a moment and Google a broker in your area to give you a free quote on alternatives for health insurance plans, etc. it depends of course and changes with every president of the USA. ;) You may find that you’ve tricked yourself into living a life you hate for the sum total of a few hundred bucks a month in premiums.⁣⁣ #richienorton https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu5BL5lh9rO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=151u24nq2g3jz
