KP Brain Dump | Keith Parnell

I have things to say, and you’re going to listen 😁😂

What does a 1-star Yelp review mean?

Know your audience. Know your Hvcce (tribe), those on the same journey. Work to please your tribe, not the critics.

Hangin’ at the DMV

People watching at the local DMV is fun. There are a lot of unhappy people in this world. I wonder if I annoy them because I'm happy and smiling?

Light writing in the man-room

Brain Dump

With the laptop in-hand and business news on the big screens, I'm attempting to zone-out for a while in the man-room. Where is your chill spot in your world where you can stay inside your own mind?

Color brings me happiness, calm

Brain Dump

I love chillin' outdoors, and we love having color in our outdoor spaces. What gets you in the right headspace to bring out your creativity?

I’m glad you’re here

Brain Dump

Welcome to the KP Insiders community with over 10 thousand of my closest friends. I'd love to hear your feedback on my daily brain dump. Hope you're having a great week. Cheers!

What’s your AI game look like?

Brain Dump

Have you found that one aspect in your day where the ideas, outlines, or content can help you? Have you taken a chance with OpenAI yet? Or are you getting left behind?

Are you the smartest person in the room?

Brain Dump

Pushing your crappy, uneducated ideas on the team is not a roadmap to success. Hire smart people and let them do their job. Then, you'll be the best boss in the room.

Do you trust yourself?

Brain Dump

I don't read reviews. I don't listen to unsolicited comments. And I don't allow comments on my blog. I trust myself. I trust my research. And I trust my small tribe.my

Planting trees with Canva

Brain Dump, Family & Friends, Community, KP branding

"You printed, we planted. Congratulations! By printing a design [with Canva], you've planted a tree." Pretty cool. I love seeing companies that do more than just talking about what's good for the planet.

The perspective of Quantity vs Quality

Brain Dump

Quantity of effort versus quality of effort is a daily decision for us. Which is more important to you? It's all in the perspective, right?

What will be my legacy?

Brain Dump, Family & Friends, Community

How will people remember me when I'm gone? If I don't like that perception, do I have time to change it? I know we're not supposed to care what people think about us. But I do care what the people that I love think about me.

Where are you on the AI spectrum?

Brain Dump, KP branding

Have you experimented with AI? ChatGPT is just fun. I think I'm lovin' this technology, with warning disclaimers to monitor and edit appropriately. We're still dealing with a machine and not human emotion.

Where are all the hustlers?

Brain Dump

Reaching the right kind of success is a long-game. Hustle works if you only care about tomorrow. Plan - Execute - Reevaluate works if you care about next year, and the year after, and the year after.

I have time for this, not that

Brain Dump

I will be here for the conversation, not there. I don't have time to be good, really good, great at this when I need to sacrifice brain cells over there. I'm a storyteller. I'm telling stories at keithparnell.com

I have a question

Brain Dump

We'll have a great conversation after I ask you a question when you ask me a question. Yes. Questions.

Do you fear acknowledging that you don’t know?

Brain Dump

It's okay to not know every answer to every question. It's okay to not be the smartest person in the room. For me, the right answer is, 'What a great question! I'll find out the answer and then follow-up with you.'

Am I under informed?

Brain Dump

The key to the success of my process is to be acceptable to various viewpoints. Good views. Bad views. Right views. Wrong views. All help in shaping my final perspective.

Is trust a necessity?

Brain Dump

If we can't trust those we spend time with, how can we live a peaceful life? If we can't trust those we do business with, how can we have a civilized society?

Are you signing-up for the things AI cannot do?

Brain Dump

If you don't want to step-up your game to do better than mediocre, AI will be absorbing you soon. There's no advantage to complaining or worrying about AI. Just do better. Just be better.

Diggin’ Seth today

Brain Dump

I love listening to Seth. He resets my brain back on the right track. How do you reset?

But I don’t want to play by the rules

Brain Dump

I want to do things my way. I don't want to play by the rules, your rules.

Blogging is boring. Why do it?

Brain Dump, KP branding

If your perspective is business success and reaching the largest strategic target audience, blogging and email marketing should be at the top of your list of activities.

That doesn’t mean it’s right

Brain Dump, KP branding

When you find something that doesn't seem kosher, it's okay to doubt it. Sometimes you just have to trust your gut. Go for it. And don't look back!

Sometimes it’s just life [video]

Brain Dump, Family & Friends, Community

We took a few hours away this afternoon to attend our niece's high school girls softball game between Hampton Christian and Norfolk Christian at Lakewood Park. Personal vs Business brand-building.
