Jeff 's Daily Excellence Pill

This is a world class world famous painting by the late Yves Klein. I first saw it in a museum in Paris and thought to myself, "gee, this is so ridiculously simple and even I could have done it." Trouble is I didn't do it, hadn't thought of it, and probably never will. By the way, this painting is really a canvas of ultramarine blue paint. Simple, pure, elegant. And that's why I like it.

Imagine life being simple, pure and elegant. I suspect very strongly that we would all really live happily ever after. Yet, humans have this strong desire to complicate matters when simplicity, common sense and more simplicity is the order of the day. I realized this myself some time back and it's no wonder that my favorite authors today have this unique ability to follow the KISS rule (Keep It Simple, Stupid) when explaining pretty complex issues. For marketing ideas, I devour everything from Dan Kennedy and Seth Godin, for inspiration, there's no one better than Robin Sharma (check out his books The Greatness Guide and Who Will Cry When You Die), and the list goes on.

Don't just know about KISS, become a KISSer yourself! In other words, embrace KISS, live KISS, and be the ultimate KISSER. Start by looking at the difficult parts of your life that cause you the most grief and stress on a daily basis. Ask yourself what really really causes the grief and stress (and be honest here), and you'll probably find just one key area that when tackled first and done well, will eliminate all the other stress points! Simple isn't it? Find the source and do something about it. KISS, KISS, KISS and your life becomes simple, pure and elegant!
