Izzy, Come on, Man, DISC Profile Nostradamus

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”

Well, we made it to Friday, a glorious journey of whips and whaps; I hope your travels were equal to ours.  We had some friends over last night, Izzy and Bridget, first-timers, people from our hood, lovely folks; we dined on Italian beef sandwiches and pasta salad.  It was an epic night of conversation and sharing of our unique stories.

So how are you today? I’m serious, how are you?  Are you feeling fabulous, fantastic, emboldened, or are you a little off your game? Either is fine; I live in the fantastical world of joy and happiness. So join me if you like.

I got gas yesterday; it cost me $60.00 for a tank of gas; thank you, Joe; you’re policies are spot on with what American’s need these days. But, unfortunately, it looks like we are heading back to masking up; I’ll not participate, I’m done, I have rights, sue me, baby, sue me.  I bleed red; I’ll make no apologies.

Have I told you lately how much I love my wife?  My partner, my best friend, my cohort, I wake every day with her by my side, and that is one reason I’m the man I am today.  We are together 361 days a year, the other four she goes on a horse trip with some friends, this year a friend and I are heading to Venice Beach, I’m awaiting the details.

I’ve got an 8:00 a.m. call with thought leaders from all over the country. I’ll then shower, my friends seem to dig my morning hair, then head to a new friend’s world headquarters.  Our operations manager Dak and my right hand Mo Jo are in town to help us with the Elevation Celebration. So we will hang with those kids for the weekend; it should be a great four days of fun and connection.

We’ve got a new opportunity with a prospect. So we went to his business to meet and share stories.   He has a fractional CFO who knows of us; Mike will refer us when he knows there are issues with a current provider.  The owner asked an interesting question; he wants references from clients we serve “like him.” He left it open to interpretation which I found curious. He’s a relationship-based owner; similar to us, we may or may not proceed with the opportunity.

One exciting thing about their company is they use DISC profiles to identify who’s who and even share their DISC results before entering each office. So, for example, I met the CFO, looked at his results, and then did a cursory overview of what the owner’s DISC might resemble. Then, later in the tour, we walked by the owner’s office; my guess was spot on; our DISC profiles are aligned.

We headed back after our appointment to drop off a car for our guests.  Mojo and Dak are staying in our condo and will arrive here today.  Our daughter has her bachelorette party in AZ this weekend; we are very proud of our kid and her work ethic.  Hell, we are proud of all our kids; all three are successful members of society, we did well.

Ok, I think I’ve said enough; I need to prepare for this weekend, it’s a long weekend of meeting and greeting about 10000 people.  We will have our bus, a tent, a photo booth, we are ingraining ourselves in our community, and it feels like a warm blanket.  We love the area, the people, the vibe; this is home too, I’m at peace.
