Lemonade

February 4, 2010 by Toby Martini 2 Comments

This is an excellent little movie about how some people have re-created their lives.

Life gave you lemons?Sadly most people don’t think about taking control of their own destiny until the winds of change force their hand.

The people in this film, and more than a dozen that I have personally spoken with, exude joy and love to say that the day they got fired was the greatest day of their lives. Not that they thought that at the time!

By having the “safety net” taken away and being thrown into the world and told, “Make it!” these folks did what felt great to them.


Gary Vaynerchuk said that someone that is “bat-shit crazy” about coffee and blogs like mad and just LOVES everything about coffee is going to be huge. The guy in this movie, with his coffee roaster and mobile shop, made me think of that again.

I promise that you love a thing and you love to research out it and find out everything you can about it, you’ll find others that love what you do. They are your people, your tribe.

I bet they’re waiting for you now.

Testimonials

I had a blast.

Initially I signed up for the improv training to learn something new and get out of my comfort zone. Specifically, I wanted to learn a way to lighten up and use humor in my speeches.

But your class was much more than that. It was a paradigm buster. You gave us lots of tools and exercises to get out of our own way and become “green-light thinkers.”

This training is incredibly valuable not just in the one’s own personal life, but also in the area of team and leadership development.

I look forward to more!
