The Many Joys Of No Mute Button

This week, I had the surprising pleasure of welcoming a very successful business owner as a client.

That may not sound like something to open an email with.

After all - isn't this what I do?

Work with successful business folk to help them have a high-quality and low-stress experience of life?

Yes, it absolutely is as much as possible. And I love doing it.

The surprising part is not that I was working with him - it was that I was working with him LIVE ... in person from my base in The Azores Islands of Portugal. I can't even describe what a pleasure that was for me.

Our first session meant many things:

- The mute button was not an option.
- There was no such thing as a virtual breakout room to send him to.
- Sharing a screen didn't quite mean the same thing.
- I could not wear pajamas.

It also meant, however, that after 2+ years of working exclusively virtually, I had forgotten the joy of the in-person experience.

The pleasure of witnessing as the tell-tale facial signs of a new understanding begins to take form. The honor of observing as it deeply dawns on someone that the heavy backpack of stress - is simply not a requirement for high-performance business and joyful living.

If you are reading this, I am 98.5% sure you are not on any of The Azores Islands.

And therefore, I probably won't be able to personally witness that look of relief on your face that my clients often display.

The best I can do right now is help you experience that relief without my observation.

How?

This week I turn 35. (Halfway to retirement?)

This morning my wife and I were sharing different versions of the same story with each other over breakfast.

We both felt that that ‘gray sky’ Monday morning feeling that visits every now and then — was entirely absent!

We felt alive, incredibly rested, present and excited for the week to come.

Let’s scroll back though for some context…

George Bernard Shaw, the famed Irish playwright once said:

"The single biggest problem with communication, is the illusion that it has taken place!"

I think you may have hit the nail on the head, George!
