Beware The Fine Print

"It is in the treatment of trifles that a person shows what they are."

Arthur Schopenhauer

Early 19th century German philosopher

"Trifles" suggests things inconsequential but when it comes to business, are you always certain you know what is and is not important?

Be careful, it's the small stuff that can take you down.

What About Tomorrow?

"You are young at any age if you are planning for tomorrow."

Unknown

And this is not just about how we should live our personal lives as we age; it applies to everything, certainly including our business lives.

How many people do you know who could show you their life's plan, assuming you asked to see it?

How many do you know who could show you their business or personal occupational plan?

The numbers (unfortunately) are similar and certainly low.

The Power of Changing Your Mind

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."

George Bernard Shaw

Late 19th, early 20th century Irish writer

As many of you know, I am working on a book regarding "change", and felt this quote well represented me a few months back.

Until that point, I had been working one way, making what was to me, acceptable but very little progress.  The sum of my excuses for lack of output was greater than my output.

Then I re-thought things resulting in a different approach.  

Today, the book is essentially written, I am in the editing stage with considerably more to do, but much more done than would be true had I not "changed my mind."

Changing your mind.  It works.

If Only I Had The Time . . . You Do!

"Time is the only critic without ambition."

John Steinbeck

American author

You can complain about not having enough time but in the end, how much you do versus what you say you will do is completely up to you.
