It’s Monday, so I want to help you get back on your grind and make sure you got your mind right…

Somone sent me the question in this subject line recently.

He didn’t know it was his lucky day but things took an interesting twist.

I’m just going to come out and say it…

Your years of experience isn’t as impressive as you think it is.

At least not the way you probably current pitch it.

Let me show you what I mean.

I need to ask you a serious question.

Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

That question might look familiar to you if you’ve ever seen the cartoon show Animaniacs (I think they just removed it from Netflix :/ ). They had a mini show within the show called Pinky and the Brain.

The show was named after two mice — one a genius (Brain, just to be clear) and the other insane based on how the theme song describes them. And every episode Brain would turn to Pink with thoughts of world domination and ask Pinky…

“Are you pondering what I’m pondering?”

And without fail, Pinky would miss the mark by a country mile with a reply like “I think so Brain, but if you replace the ‘P’ with an ‘O’, my name would be Oinky, wouldn’t it?”

And Brain would have to set him straight that his mind was on taking over the world (again). Classic.

Anyway, here’s why this is important.
