Juggler demonstrates the power of heart…

I don’t know much about juggling, but I know what I like. Maybe you’ve seen that video of the guy juggling to the Beatles. His name is Chris Bliss, and you can see him here — grimacing, hopping about, frantically,…

Yes, yes, yes.

I’ve found that people could generally care less about perfection.

Master the thing… then throw it away.

Thanks for the reminder Brian.

“All the world’s a stage” as the Bard wrote. As an attorney, I can attest that people choose professionals based on an emotional connection, the main one being that you really care about helping them solve their problems. And once the connection is made, it is rarely broken– I have had the same clients for over 20 years.

Then again, I catch more typos over there

Nancy, yep, you and most other people! And it applies to your approach to business and life in general as well.

Thank you so much for this post!
I had no idea that someone had dissed Chris Bliss.
I was mesmerized by that video NOT because of the skill so much as the heart and soul expressed through Chris’s skill. It was that way he moved and seemed to almost dance with the music.

I’m not a juggler, but I am a performer and a performance coach. I’d much rather experience a performer who is real, alive and fully impassioned in his art then someone who is highly skilled but distant, aloof and disembodied.

Thanks again.

Once again, you’ve helped us remember that old adage,

Numbers tell, but stories sell.

I’ve done a number of posts and lived a sales life proving it.
