Discovering Magic Moments
"Magic Moments are those opportunities in life to grab hold of something unique, beautiful, relational, whatever it is, and not let it pass you by," says Steve Wells. These moments can transform ordinary experiences into something extraordinary. For busy entrepreneurs, finding time for Magic Moments can redefine both personal and professional paths.
Magic Moments can happen with family, friends, or even in solitude. They emphasized that these moments are not just about business victories but about finding joy and fulfillment in everyday life.
Magic Moments are those times when everything around you feels special and significant. They’re the moments you hold onto and cherish. It could be a quiet walk at sunset, a warm conversation with a friend, or the moment you accomplish something you’ve worked hard for.
These moments are about being present and appreciating the now. They’re not about what’s next or what’s already happened—they’re about what is.
Life can be busy and sometimes stressful. With so much going on, it’s easy to rush through it all without stopping to appreciate what surrounds us. Magic Moments help you slow down and really see the beauty in life.
These moments remind us to be grateful and to focus on what truly matters. They bring happiness and fulfillment, which makes the journey much more enjoyable.
The Power of Reflection
Amid the hustle of daily life, it's vital to slow down and reflect. Jeffrey and Steve found solace in sharing a cigar, which became a ritual for reflection. "We would slow down, recap the day, lick our wounds, or celebrate a victory," Steve explains. Whether it’s through a cigar, a walk in nature, or quiet solitude, find your way to pause and reflect. This practice is key to unlocking creativity and gaining new insights.
Jeffrey and Steve have learned that as entrepreneurs, it's important to take time and reflect. Running a business is tough, and setbacks can make it hard to see progress. Jeffrey reminds us:
"It's the journey right here, right now, the present moment. That's all anyone has."
For them, having a cigar was more than just a break. It was a ritual. It allowed them to slow down, think, and transform even tough days into Magic Moments. It was about enjoying the journey, not just reaching the destination.
One of the cornerstones of experiencing Magic Moments is the practice of reflection. During their entrepreneurial ride, Jeffrey and Steve discovered that slowing down to enjoy Magic Moments gave them fresh insights and renewed energy. It was during these times that they often found the solutions to their toughest business challenges.
Steve shared, "The cigar would slow us down...it was a time for us to, together, sit and discuss it, to enjoy it, to be thankful, to be grateful or to go on and say we got to get back in the ring tomorrow and become re-energized."
Creating the World's Best Cigar You’ve Never Head Of
In their quest to capture Magic Moments, Jeffrey and Steve embarked on a journey to create the best cigar they could imagine, for themselves, known as the Corban Cigar. This wasn't just about crafting a luxury item; it represented their pursuit of excellence and the joy found in the process.
Steve shares, "Can we make the best cigar in the world? It might sound egotistical, but for us it wasn't that. We've enjoyed this, how can we do this?"
The journey taught them patience and reminded them that sometimes, to move forward, you need to step back and savor where you are.
They shared the cigar with friends who experienced their own Magic Moments, leading to the formation of a community around these experiences. Steve said, “The cigar became a bonding...people use it for special occasions, and it’s an intentional cigar.”
Jeffrey shares how these Magic Moments helped them think of Embanet in new ways. "The cigar forced us to slow down. It forced us to take stock of our life, give us hope, new insights," remembers Jeffrey. Sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs come from stepping back and reimagining the situation. It’s not always about working harder, but working smarter.
Applying Magic Moments to Business
But how does this relate to running a business? Jeffrey and Steve's Magic Moments gave them time to think creatively and develop new strategies. It was during these moments that they crafted game-changing ideas.
Steve says, "Allow yourself to be open and to allow your brain to work on these things and not get it so jumbled up with the tyranny of the urgent or the chaos."
Their Magic Moments weren't just breaks from work—they were the key to unlocking solutions that helped their business grow. The story of how they shifted their focus to master's and doctorate programs is a testament to the power of reflection in finding success.
Jeffrey and Steve faced numerous rejections while trying to disrupt an industry, but they found comfort and renewed creativity through Magic Moments. Reflecting on past events allowed them to innovate and push boundaries, eventually leading to a game-changing business model.
Jeffrey described how, “Taking the time out to reflect, to plan...some of our strategies that really turned us from zero to hero came from a Magic Moment.”
For anyone navigating the journey of entrepreneurship, the message is clear: success is not just hitting milestones but also finding fulfillment along the way. Steve advised asking yourself, “What are those distractions? What are those things that we put too much emphasis on?” It's about balancing success with what truly makes you happier and more fulfilled.
Building Lasting Relationships
Magic Moments aren’t just for introspection—they’re crucial for building relationships, too. By sharing a cigar with colleagues or advisors, Jeffrey and Steve developed deeper bonds. "We came in as clients, but walked out as friends," Jeffrey recounts. These connections can make all the difference as everyone pulls together for success.
As the holiday season approaches, take time to embrace Magic Moments. Whether it’s with a cigar or another form of reflection, find what brings you joy and clarity.
Jeffrey pointed out, “We found a way to 10X our business from the Magic Moments...doing what others said would have been impossible to do.” These moments are about recognizing and cherishing the journey, not just the destination.
Finding Fulfillment Beyond Success
After all, success isn't just about money. True wealth comes from fulfillment and relationships. "If you're not happy, you're not going to achieve the goals you want," Steve reminds us. Prioritize what truly matters, like family and friends, especially during the holiday season.
Success isn't just about reaching a goal—it's about finding fulfillment along the way. Jeffrey learned this firsthand:
"If this doesn't go through, I love the journey... I've enjoyed it."
Through Magic Moments and their Corban Cigar, they discovered the importance of enjoying the journey and appreciating every step, even the challenging ones.
Embracing the Journey
Remember, life is about the journey, not just the destination. Take time to enjoy each day and seize those Magic Moments that occur along the way. Jeffrey emphasizes, "Magic Moments were transformational. It's not the destination. It's the journey."
Creating Magic Moments in Your Life
As the New Year approaches, let’s consider how to create more Magic Moments. Spend time with loved ones, engage in a hobby that brings joy, or simply take a walk and enjoy the beauty around you. Steve shares, "There's nothing more special than to be around family and young children during the holidays."
