There’s nothing more painful than being patient with a dream.

Even if we do cast a vision, enlist support from every angle, hustle while we wait and take small, daily steps to move the pile forward, the dream still feels miles away.

And in the process, our expectations get crushed.

It takes longer than we like. Nobody tells us that when we answer the call to adventure, we might be placed on hold for a year.

It feels harder than we predicted. Nobody tells us that arriving to a new world is just as demanding as thriving in it.

It aches more than we thought. Nobody tells us that when we decide to play a bigger game, chest pains and anxiety attacks come with the package.

It changes more than we imagined. Nobody tells us that when we take the plunge, we have to leave parts of our former selves behind to stay afloat.

Turns out, waiting in line to get tickets for the game is just as important as the game itself.

But the upside is, all the prework to the dream, all the battles and pains and tears and doubts, are essential in building our resilience for when the dream finally comes true.

Because by that time, we’ll be so beaten up that resistance will back down. It will know we mean business, and it will get the hell out of our way.

And the dream will have no other choice but to come true.

Six years ago, my left lung collapsed.

When I woke up in the recovery room with tube in my chest,
the first thing I did was ask the surgeon why this happened to me.

He said it was spontaneous.

Spontaneous. Really. That’s your diagnosis? That’s the best
you can do? Surely there must a more biological reason behind this physically
traumatic episode.

Not really. It just happens, he said.

Excuse me, but nothing just happens. Especially not the
sudden failure of my primary respiratory function.

So instead of accepting what the doctor said, I spent the
next week in the hospital making a diagnosis of my own.

My lung collapsed because I got too successful, too fast,
too early. My lung collapsed because I didn’t have a healthy relationship with
my breath. My lung collapsed because I allowed my career to take priority over
my health. My lung collapsed because I didn’t possess the physical, emotional
and mental constitution to manage my own chaotic life.

I told myself a lie because I knew the truth wouldn’t be
enough for me to change.

And it was the best decision I ever made.

Sometimes dishonesty is the best diagnosis.

It’s hard to turn down food when we’re
really hungry.

Whether it’s a down economy, a struggling enterprise or a lonely love life,
desperate times activate the primal instinct to say yes to whatever satisfies
our hunger.

So we settle. We give our love, our attention and our resources to the highest
bidder, accepting opportunities that are more meh than they are amazing. And
before we know it, mediocrity settles in like an unwelcome dinner guest.

I’ve had multiple periods of meh in my life, both personally and
professionally. Turns out, even though it kept my heart afloat, kept my
business churning and kept my ego from whining, meh ultimately left me feeling
unfulfilled and resentful.

But thanks to a few honest jabs from a compassionate mentor, I made a decision.

Take a sledgehammer to
as much mediocrity as possible.

So far, the pile of rubble is shaping up nicely.

People don’t want duplicate happiness.

It’s only when we help them experience a joy they can’t have
in other areas of their lives that we create a real, lasting and profitable
connection. 

It’s only when we offer them a one-time, limited edition, never
before/never again moment that actually captures their imagination, that we win
their hearts forever.

It all depends on our embodiment of three powerful words:

And nowhere else.

True exclusivity.

Sun Studios offers this kind of joy to their session
musicians. Anybody in the world can sit down in the most famous booth in the
world, actually play music with the very instruments Elvis once used, and feel
like real rock stars – if only for three and half minutes.

True exclusivity.

And nowhere else.

It’s rare, and that’s precisely why it’s remarkable.

LET ME ASK YA THIS…

What type of exclusivity does your brand offer?
