The next season of Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) is ready to rock and roll. This year’s roster has the usual mix of ball players and entertainers. Some have retired from the game while others are trying to get their groove back. Even HGTV’s Drew Scott seems ready for the challenge to “breath, swing and move his feet.”

It so happens that those were the same words said to Stephens by her coach before the US Open Tennis final. The advice seemed to work well as she won in convincing style. The slogan of ‘Just Do It’ might work for Scott as he gets ready to strut his stuff on DWTS. But something else could also be a motivating factor.

It may be a case of ‘Just Dance’ for Scott as he prepares for Showtime, but Stephens showed that for winning it’s a case of ‘Just Flow.’ That might be the best way to describe how she went from worst to first over the past eight months. She was ranked as underdog earlier in the year but now she’s got top billing.

Stephens pulled off a stunner! She used injury time to rethink her game. This helped to make a big difference in finals play. She kept her nerves in check to ‘shake, battle and roll’ with a performance that took its toll on her opponent. When we rethink our game it helps us develop our own shake, battle & roll.

It’s a kind of ‘Just Flow’ system that she was able to reboot. Think about those times at the computer or smart phone when things get hung-up with an application. When all else fails, the best thing is to do a reboot so that the internal settings get refreshed. You’re able to reset a new ‘intel inside’ for work or play.

That played-out for Stephens as it has for me. When I left my full-time job as a computer engineer to pursue my dream it was my biggest career move yet. There were times I had to keep my nerves in check to keep moving towards the top deck. I’ve gained a new kind of ‘intel inside’ that helps me to ‘Just Flow.’

With a new ‘intel inside’ Stephens went from career crashing to career banking. She couldn’t believe the $3 million amount on the winning check. They say professional tennis is the best game to play as a woman because there’s a more level playing field to make that paper. Stephens is ready to collect!

One of the hardest things to do in a career move is to relearn your game or yourself. The good part is the professional makeover you achieve. That’s already happening for Scott. Before the first dance move on DWTS he’s been able to lose some weight. Sometimes it takes loosing ‘dead weight’ to be great.

Stephens was able to lose her ‘dead weight’ and is poised to build momentum. It’s her time to ‘Just Flow’ and to see where her goals and dreams go. Scott can show us what happens when the groove is back, or when the ‘feels’ is strong or when the rhythm hits you. You get turned-up in new and exciting ways.

A good way to describe their ‘Just Flow’ experience is being ‘in the pocket.’ Stephens was ‘in the pocket’ in how her game rose to the occasion. It’s the kind of thing that puts us in the running as a rising star. Things seem to flow so well that your game is ‘in the pocket’ and your life performance is ‘in the socket.’

Tip: A new kind of ‘Just Flow’ experience will put your game ‘in the pocket’ and your life performance ‘in the socket.’

Talkback: How was Stephens able to keep things loose and will Scott be able to get loose on the dance floor?

It was the first weekend in the official start of summer and things got hot! There were so many events from coast to coast that had stars in the building. There were Awards shows and other spots to choose from that were happening. Even Ice Cube and DJ Khaled achieved new dreams with their latest projects.

In launching this new 3-on-3 professional basketball league, Cube told USA Today’s For The Win “When I saw Kobe score 60 points in his last game, I knew that guy can still play basketball…and there’s no where I can ever see him play again.” Cube saw an opportunity to fill a void, serve a niche & roll the dice.

After giving it more thought he went with the 3-on-3 idea which is how most basketball pick-up games are played. Even though he was starting from scratch with the idea, he decided to recruit former NBA players who’re now retired. The concept has some buzz with strong attendance after the first weekend of games.

While that was happening on the East Coast, Khaled was mixing it up on the West Coast with a new album release. His social media feed was blazing with clicks and pics from some of his promotional pit stops. With Cube and Khaled you see their vision catch fire as they approach their dreams like pros.

What really stands out for both of them is how they make the situation special. Khaled gives nods and props to his production team and music collaborators with his Another One lingo. Cube lets players wear their street-side nicknames on their jerseys. It’s the way they make things funky, fun and catch feels.

First summer weekend start. Weather pretty much played its part. Things in show biz got hot. With so many events to hit the spot. Awards shows and so much more. Some things began as early as four. Lots of stars in the building to see. How Ice Cube and DJ Khaled let dreams come to be.

Launching new 3-on-3 pro hoops. Giving USA Today his dream scoops. Saw Kobe retire after scoring 60 in last game. Knew he could still do more with his fame. Why not see him play again. If he’s still can shoot jumpers when. A way to serve a niche, fill a void. Roll the dice for the retired and unemployed.

After thinking things through a bit. Cube thought his idea could be a hit. Most pick-up games happen the 3-on-3 way. That’s how most kids learn to play. Starting from scratch to move it along. Cube adding his own rhymes in a Hip Hop song. Concept has buzz from fan support. To see who still got game on the court.

That was sort of the East Coast swing. While Khaled on West Coast doing his thing. Mixing it up for his album release. Grateful for the fan love piece by piece. Social media feed blazing with clicks. Streaming music previews and promo pics. Many see their vision catch fire. Living their dreams about to go higher.

Something to make them standout then. The situation makes things feel like a ten. Khaled gives nods to his production team. Adding props for his collab-ready dream. As Another One helps him see more green. And stay front and center on the scene. Nicknames on jerseys to make it funky, fun and feel teen.

With Higher Hopes, Bolder Dreams and Greater Teams (Old-School Flava)

These days it seems celebrities and government officials love Twitter. From the Pope to POTUS, they’re sending updates on their comings and goings. Investors see an opening for the social media site to make money. Some think Jack Dorsey’s got his mac back and wants Twitter to rule the Wall Street world.

Dorsey is company co-founder. An angel investor tells the Business Insider “Twitter is not growing as fast as it could because the company doesn’t think big enough. It could be the next Google if it wanted to be.” There goes a great headline on the top three ways for raising performance ranking and market status.

He’s back as CEO having come full circle. In July he returned as interim and the search committee saw how he was an effective team leader, had product vision and could recruit top talent. Leader in your lane, vision for all seasons, talent for the journey: three qualities for getting ahead even if having to restart.

Dorsey first saw the service as a way to provide message updates to industry insiders. For him, this effort was about commanding his own lane in the social media landscape. It was at a time when other sites like Facebook were beginning to carve-out a user base beyond Myspace. Some thrived and others dived.

After being ousted as CEO in 2008 Dorsey might have seen it as a shift in season. He went on to launch another tech biz which handles credit card payment services using smart phones. So celebrities and biz folks like Steve Jobs and Jack Dorsey have had seasons in their careers that helped to boost their status.

Seems celebs and politicos love to tweet. Posting stuff from their daily beat. The Pope and even POTUS on deck. With updates on their global trek. Investors see some daylight. To put Twitter back in the spotlight. Some think Dorsey’s got his mac back. Wants to rule the Wall Street Rat Pack.

He’s an original co-founder. Now covered by the Business Insider. They say site not growing as fast as could. Company not thinking big enough as it could. The next Google something not far-fetched. Can get there if they stretched. Great headline on getting ahead. In the job or marketplace spread.

Back as CEO is like full circle move. Returned as interim before getting in the groove. Search committee saw effective leader. With product vision and talent recruiter. Leader in your lane, vision for all seasons. Talent for the journey among the reasons. Good for playing the part. Even if having to do a restart.

Saw the service for sending message updates. For industry insiders and other future greats. Effort about commanding his own lane. On the social media landscape plane. At a time when Facebook was carving-out new users. There was Myspace and others that became losers.

Ousted as CEO in 2008 or so. Might have sensed it was good time to go. Went on to launch another tech biz. Just shows he’s that much of a whiz. For credit card payments using smart phone. He was very much in the zone. Whether celebs or Dorsey or Steve Jobs. Seasons helped boost profile and money in globs.
