Envisioning Possibilities
Career
I believe that by acting the part, you’ll get the part!
I’m not talking about the “fake it till you make it” acting the part. I’m suggesting that you learn what the behavior is, which will speed the way into the work that you want to do.
“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. If you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds only half man’s hunger.” From Kalil Gibran
If the part you want in your life or your career you want is that of a baker, and you love working as a baker, learn all you need to know to be the best baker you can be. If you act like the best baker because you are paying attention to the exact recipe, you will bake the best bread.
And when you make the best bread, you will soar! And become the best!

Outcomes
Outcomes Outcomes vs. activity. When the activity of practicing the violin matches the outcome of having a seat in an orchestra. Goal accomplished. But when business owners are so easily distracted by activity, and miss our goal and to wallow in the sea of...
Meetings
Meetings Make the meeting a SPAT meeting. Short Predictable Available Timely I think Dave Barry Sums it up well. " If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be...
Absolutely true – and in all vocations whether white or blue color jobs.
I agree with you completely. And I truly love the work I do!
