| Personal Compass Re-Boot, 7 »
- Imagination needs feeding. Reading is perfect: anytime, budget-priced and always accessible.
- Showing up works. Especially in a ‘work-from-home’ world.
- Slow down, notice more. Notice more, wake up. Wake up, solve the problem.
- It's far, far, far less crowded at the top.
- Excuses don't change anything. They simply delay our dreams.
- Consistency, politeness and focus destroy any blocker.
- There is always time for good conversation.
- You know all that you need to know. You need to apply it.
- Getting organised is not dull. Nor does it block spontaneity. Ask Leonardo da Vinci, a man who achieved a few things. In a short life-time. And without an iPad, too.
- The job for life is clearly over. So actually is any guarantee beyond the quarter. So switch the thinking: ensure they desperately need you.
- Try more. Out of quantity will come quality. Out of quality will come your best work. Out of your best work there will be a living to be made.
- Your greatest work is yearning to get out. Give it a chance.
- Travelling light helps so much. To work, on vacation. And in life.
- School & college are increasingly confused as to their purpose. But education, learning and hence wisdom are still vital and your saviour in a crazy world. Invest 2% of your income in your personal development.
- Most things in life have a threshold beyond which the vital (salt), fun (wine) and handy (e-mail) begin to wreck lives.
- Systems handle the dull. Your brain handles the rest.
- Pen and paper works.
- Everybody sells.
- Measuring something often desensitises our true understanding of its value.
- In any superhero's life, the first bit is the most fascinating. How, where and when did you become one? What is your back-story?
- The amount of discount a salesperson gives correlates with lack of his/her confidence in product x lack of skill in selling x lack of accountability to profit being made. Fix all three and have money to invest.
- Change is no problem. Rate of change is a heck of a problem. Get and stay fighting fit: be able to bounce back from the mat, run for a waiting jump-jet and do what ifs? without a spreadsheet.
- Ready? Of course.
- Asking works.
- Sure: nobody told you. They didn't know either.
- An MBA-if not handled carefully-is a further delay to action in a shrinking world.
- In that doppio espresso is the answer. But are your senses fully attuned?
- Sometimes you just don't know what to say, think or do. Don't analyse. Move on.
- Friends W: why, who, when, where, what...
- Enemies W: worry, waiting, wandering, warm-water tea, wishing...
- Processed food will delay your greatest thinking as smart ideas attempting to leap synaptic gaps in your brain will be caught in a web of sticky corn syrup.
- Age is not a number. It's a mind-set.
- Laughter is a fabulous side-effects free drug.
- Dropping a note works, too.
- Starting certainly works. Every time. Rain or shine. With or without his/her approval. But always-that's siempre-today.
