Today’s focus is on leadership, so no matter what you thought about the title of this week’s blog, “My Wife’s Driving,” today focuses back on YOU.

And first – a quick explanation. My wife likes to drive. She’s good at it. And, she likes to drive fast. She’s good at that too.

Sometimes she’ll yell at the drivers in front of her. She’s not some crazy person. She’s just, uhhhh, expressive! Really she doesn’t like it when cars choose the “fast” lane and then go the posted limit. She’ll scream out, “C’mon!!! The left lane is for crime!”

She knows they can’t hear her. She does it for herself.

I think that’s funny. She does too. And she still wants the cars to move out of “her” lane so that she can drive faster (and break the speed limit law, hence the fast lane being designated for “crime”). 

She’s willing to break the rules to get where she needs to (okay, wants to) go. 

And here’s where you come into this. Do you believe that hard work is the only way to get things done? That it’s a step-by-step process? Or, might there be a shortcut that you could take advantage of?

Success really can be easier than you’re making it. And the shortcut isn’t illegal, it just breaks the rules that you’ve kept in your head about the way things “should” be. There’s a posted speed limit sign. You’ll go that. 

And others will find a way around in order to get through.

Think about the stories that you took on as rules that you don’t dare break or, maybe don’t know how to break. (And no pitch here, just let me know if that’s something you’d like help with.)

Make use of, or stay out of, that fast lane. Some of us are breaking the rules.

Drive safely and keep making your magic!
