Quote Of The Day
Right now, there’s a lot you don’t know. And if you never challenge your own beliefs, the list will never shrink.
A Good Idea…
How often have you had a good idea, never to do anything with it? I know I have. People believe that they don’t have time to take action on their good ideas. And that may be true at the time. But have you considered parking that good idea in a place where you can come back to it and give it more thought. Sometimes the action needed on a good idea is more time to think about it. But don’t just think and think and think about it. When you have a good idea, make sure you put it in a place where it will come back to you when you DO have some time. And THEN take action. I have had many good ideas for products that never got past the prototype stage. I’ve had people tell me that I should sell my product, but I didn’t. Time to take action…!
A good idea without action is worth nothing.
Quote Of The Day
People seldom do things to the best of their ability. They do things to the best of their willingness.
Do You Practice at “Life”?
All of the things we do everyday are woven into what we call “life”. But how hard to you work at making your life what you want it to be? How often do you implement “best practices” for your own life? Not just in business, but your personal life as well? Leo Babauta over at Zen Habits has a very thought-provoking article about how we should give greater thought to how we “practice life”.
“What if, instead, we practiced consciously, deliberately, and became good at the things we really want to be good at? What if you first, above all skills, learned to be more aware of what you are practicing? What if constant conscious action is the skill you became good at? If you could learn to take conscious action, you could learn to practice other things you want to be good at, rather than the ones you don’t.” ~Leo Babauta
Quote Of The Day
The acquisition of knowledge doesn’t mean you’re growing. Growing happens when what you know changes how you live.
Are You Adaptable Enough In Your Job?
Business Insider has an article covering an interview with Seth Godin. Seth posits that “if you’re an average worker, you’re going straight to the bottom.” Workers today need to be adaptable, because companies need to be adaptable and they need their workers to be able to change with the business. If you’ve been paying attention to what is happening with the job market and business in general, this should not be a surprise to you. As workers, we need to constantly work to adapt and also to improve ourselves in preparation for the next challenge. Are YOU working to prepare for the next challenge?
