Hooray for Monday. Time to kick off the sheets. Clear out the cob webs. Kick out the jams.

We are the ready, willing and able. Bring us a whole case of the Mondays. We’ll grab a bottle, shake it up and dance in the champagne shower of awesomeness.

While the drones dread Monday, we see it as a starting line for dreamers and doers. There’s a fresh week of days on the clock. And countless possibilities for our boundless potential. We’re relaxed, recharged and reloaded. Ready to tackle the work we were born to do. Ready create something remarkable.

This is not the day to be back at the grindstone. This is the day to be back at our passion. Breathing new life into our projects. We are conduits of innovation, imagination and inspiration. It’s Monday. And we can’t wait to get started. On your mark…Get set…

Focus. Put all this pressure to good use. Create diamonds.

Stress, challenges and deadlines aren’t going anywhere. If you don’t learn to shine in tough situations, neither are you.

My new favorite quote comes from the legendary lover, adventurer, writer and librarian named Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt better known simply as Casanova: “One who makes no mistakes makes nothing at all.” 

A big chunk of success in this world comes down to resiliency. Let them laugh and nay say from the sidelines. Get back up and try a different approach. Just never stop trying. Start. Stumble. Facepalm. Learn. Grow. Experiment. Fail. Continue. Adapt. Fail. Retry. Innovate. Succeed. Win. Repeat.

Casanova’s quote inspired the latest #makeithappen poster. Download a copy for your wall and get to work. We have important things to accomplish.

Bonus: A good tune to listen to whenever you have ass to kick. Ali in the Jungle

Add a little Napoleon to your Napoleon Hill. Positive thinking is a whole lot more effective when combined with liberal amounts of kicking ass. Keep in mind the ass most in need of kicking may very well be the one you’ve been sitting on.

Sacred cows are fattened on the conventional wisdom. Don’t be put out to pasture with the herd.

Question. Challenge. Test. Poke. Prod. Provoke. Go. Do. Innovate. Change. Win. Rewrite. Repeat.

The world needs more purple cows. The world needs more WOW!

Don’t just make it work. Make it remarkable.

Less: Ideas for a brilliant social media campaign. 
More: Brilliant ideas worthy of a social media campaign.

Social media is a remarkable tool for spreading your ideas, but only if you have remarkable ideas worth spreading. And here’s the secret: it easier to promote remarkable ideas – your network will actually relish spreading them.

So let’s go back to the drawing board. Grab a blank sheet of paper. Look at your big idea/product/service/innovation with fresh eyes. Build remarkable right in.

Your sizzle should sell a delicious steak.
Your sizzle should not be the best part of the meal.

There is greatness inside of you – you’re a virtual piñata of greatness. Don’t make me beat you with a stick. Share your candy with the world.

Wishing on a star does you little good.

Be the star.

Never lose your Conscience, but quit waiting for your dreams to come true.
