The ability to

ANALYZE a system
IDENTIFY opportunities
IMPROVE the system

I saved a company $2 MILLION DOLLARS per year using this superpower!

Not hypothetical money. Not imaginary money. Not money they were considering spending. Real money the company was ALREADY spending.

Using my X-Ray Vision, I saw business opportunities and systems optimizations which allowed mega savings. But I couldn’t stop there. Once I discovered my superpower I started using it other places too.

The ability to

COMMUNICATE complex ideas
DESIGN them in interesting ways
INFLUENCE people to follow them

With over 10,000 hours in professional design, I’m a master telepath!

You might think “telepathy” is a stretch, but the ability to communicate an idea from one mind to another is an amazing thing which takes years to develop.

Listed as one of ProBlogger’s 40 Bloggers to Watch in 2011, I’ve been using my superpower to develop an entourage in the social arena. Over at SlideShare, my top 4 presentations have almost 100,000 views.

A superhuman ability (and willingness) to consume large amounts of information and implement it in the real world.

Yes. You read that right: Superhuman.

Last year I read over 67 books and roughly 2500 blog articles a month.

Compared to 6.5 books, I’m more than 10 times the national average just on the books alone. It’s a key component of the secret to my success.

John Wooden said “Five years from now, you’re the same person except for the people you’ve met and the books you’ve read.” I intend to develop new superpowers every five years.

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOU

Here’s what I think you look like…

You want to make the world a better place

Something burns inside of you. It drives you forward and overwhelms your thoughts. It’s the last thing you think of before falling asleep and it greets you when you open your eyes in the morning.

You might be helping the needy, promoting minimalist running shoes, or increasing tourism for your tropical island. Whatever it is you are doing, this deep desire is what drives your every action.

It’s the passionate desire to make the world a better place.

This is the primary reason I want to work with you.

Here are 10 more:

You believe failures point to a better path to success

Failure teaches us when a tactic doesn’t work and encourages us to try new things. You know the only way to avoid failing is to do nothing at all…and that’s not how you roll.

You ask “why” first instead of saying “no”

You’ve made sure to work with people that are a good fit for you. When they suggest something you don’t understand, you want to learn their thinking, not shut them down.

You believe passion and energy are priceless

You understand that while you can pay someone to fulfill a job description, their passion and energy are their gifts to you. Gifts like that don’t come with price tags.

You want someone who can exceed your expectations

No matter how robust the job description, you know some expectations change while some are exceeded beyond anything you could have possibly imagined.

You smile regularly and like to laugh

You want to make the world a better place. You have lots of reasons to smile and laugh!

You feel your fears, acknowledge them, and keep moving

You’re trying to make the world a better place; you’re entitled to a little fear now and then. But it doesn’t stop you. You acknowledge your fear and then move past it.

You commit passionately to getting things done

Long development cycles are the breeding grounds of procrastination. You can only do “more” if you get stuff done. And let’s face it, you need to get stuff done if you are going to make the world a better place

You aren’t paralyzed by the myth of perfect

The search for perfect is a nice way of saying someone is afraid of making a mistake. We already know you move past your fears so this is a moot point.

You can be located anywhere and accept that I’m located in Dallas *

Once upon a time companies could only get the best people within a limited geographic radius. You want the best in the world, not the best within a 20 mile radius of a cubicle. Thank goodness for technology!

You appreciate a love for technology and art

While the latest gadget may or may not lead to you waiting in lines that wrap around buildings, you can appreciate that kind of devotion. Same goes for art (especially in the form of video games).

“Having a resume begs for you to go into that big machine that looks for relevant keywords, and begs for you to get a job as a cog in a giant machine.” ~ Seth Godin

We’ve talked about me and my superpowers. We’ve talked about you and how you want to make the world a better place. We agree that neither of us wants to be associated with cogs.

And let’s face it, if you found this page and made it this far, you’ve already seen some of what I can do!

Now let’s combine superpowers and make the world a better place together!
