“Cowabunga!” Kali yelled gleefully as she jumped high while placing her bright orange duneboard beneath her feet.

In Business, Does the Early Bird Get the Worm?

“Embrace the dawn with hope because today brings new possibilities.” – Bella, the determined Robin.
 
Some takeaways from Chapter 1 of "Get the Cheese - Let the Other Mouse Go First! - Demotivation Motivation for Life and Business." A Damian Andrews Book. 
Apple’s iPod success came from a profound understand of customer needs. 
 
🔸 Bella’s Story: Residing in Thistlebrook Meadow, Bella, the disciplined robin, epitomises persistence. In challenging times, she finds solace in the new opportunities each dawn brings, always striving for innovation.
 
🔸 Bella’s Lessons:
Persistence Pays Off
Prepare for the Unexpected
Being the Early Bird doesn’t always mean getting the Worm
Face Challenges Head-On
Every Day is a New Beginning
Stay Innovative
 
You might be a CEO or a start up entrepreneur, yet there are always challenges that may bear down on you. Sometimes, no matter how early you start, you simply don’t get the worm. When things don’t go as planned, the sun will come up tomorrow casting new light over your meadow.
 
Stay persistent, prepare for the unforeseen and seize each day's opportunities!

There is a difference between an effort mindset and an outcome mindset
Effort mindset focuses on the work done
Outcome mindset focuses on the objective reached
Separate they both have flaws
What if you combine the two?
 
2WD Goal Setting give you the benefit of both
2Ws - Outcome Focus: What (Desired Result) & When (Timeframe)
D - Effort Focus: Do (Action Steps)

Preview excerpts from Chapter 1
BellaA determined robin, Bella takes pride in her discipline and persistence. Outwardly with bravado she brushes off her friend’s comments that she’s stubborn, because that’s what it takes to succeed. However, each night her mind races, thinking back over the many challenges she faced and overcame living in Thistlebrook Meadow. Before drifting off to visit the Sandman, the same thought runs through her mind. ‘Setting her mind on something and sticking to it, is persistence and persistence is a good thing.’ Bella takes in her neat and organised little hollow inside the Grand Oak and with a soft smile her eyes close knowing, her way is the right way. 
Milo and LanaBursting into the room, Milo’s shoulders temporarily sank seeing Lana waiting. It was momentary, then his frenetic energy and dreams of legends took hold. “Hurry up Lana. The day awaits for no mouse!” His buzzing energy was infectious, often overpowering the radiation of her calm wisdom. Today was different. There was a nagging dread deep inside her. Lana couldn’t shake it. “Come on Lana! Snap out of it!” Milo was used to Lana’s caution and it bored him. “Let’s go!”, he insisted. Lana chuckled at herself. They knew the barn backward. Caution is one thing, paranoia is another. “Race you!”, Lana exclaimed and darted past Milo to the door. After all, there was food to find.
Steven and the Fruit CompanyGiving up, Steven sighed and looked across the room. The latest ‘Gift from Bill’ sat prominently on the coffee table. Apparently someone thought it funny to set up the ugly industrial looking box with an even uglier looking screen box on top, in his office. Steven whispered, “Oh, you know, there are 114,000 known viruses for that thing. Time to think different for the cure.”In a flash the music player was launched across the room in a graceful arch. It smashed into the screen, first imploding and then sending shards of glass sprawling across the coffee table. As the last of the glass came to rest, a small wisp of smoke exited the top of the broken screen, circled gracefully and then dissipated leaving an ozone/phosphors aroma in the air. It was a picture perfect moment. “If only my phone had a camera to immortalise the moment” Steven thought.
Apple’s iCheese SymphonyOften the first movers are mistaken as the trailblazers in the grand annals of innovation. This misconception is far from the truth that most figures lauded as pioneers were not the first. Their difference was they made the innovation work, particularly in a commercial sense and thus they became unforgettable. Henry Ford didn’t create the automobile, yet his Model T revolutionised personal transportation. Bill Gates didn't birth graphical user interface software, but with Microsoft's Windows, he shaped a digital age. Science fiction movies existed long before George Lucas dreamed of The Force and Lightsabers, but with Star Wars, he had an indelible impact on global culture, entertainment, and industry. Of course one of the most influential tech product launches in history was Steve Jobs’ iPhone: an iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator all in one.
