A bright light should not be kept under a bushel basket. It should be able to shine its light and cut the darkness.

I am not certain what consequence that cliche has to do with this article, but I liked the light bulb, as it seemed to shed some light on my recent thinking (pun intended).

Trust

I have been through a lot in my life’s experience.

I was at a party recently and ran into a woman I’ve known for years. She is a friend and a former client. As we stood talking over a tasty treat she told me that, despite the work we’ve done together, she still procrastinates. I replied…”Yeah, me too.” She looked at me, shocked and said, “I can’t believe it. You do so much! There’s NO WAY, you procrastinate.”

I believe that when we try to do something we have a desire to do, that is done from a place of service and love, we can’t fail. Either we achieve the goal we were hoping for, or we achieve some other goal (Life sometimes throws curve balls that way), or we learn something valuable in the process, or even if we make a mess, the chance to clean it up still offers us valuable experience. As long as you’re acting in good faith and learning, you can’t fail. That takes some of the pressure off, now doesn’t it? Perhaps just taking pressure off makes the process a little easier…

And people don’t buy from people they don’t notice. And today I want to talk about vendor/sponsor elevator pitches.

Beliefs That Make You Productive

dailyblogma

As a time management and productivity expert, here are some of the things I believe that will help people to get more meaningful work done: The most important thing you do every day…is decide what to do that day. If you don’t know where you are going, you are unlikely to get where you want. An important part of deciding what to do, is deciding what NOT to do.
