Self-Discipline

“If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” My son Zander asked me, “Why do you and Dad work so much?” Every day he sees us wake up, check emails, book meetings, consult with clients, teach classes, work on our computers, read books, or travel for speaking engagements. “Why don’t you and dad take more vacations, or watch more TV, or do what normal parents do?” Many of Zanders friends have parents who are working 9-5pm jobs to support their evening and weekend activities. They work to live, instead of living to work. Kids learn best through experiences, so instead of telling Zander an explanation, I said, “Let me show you..."

You’re Three Feet from the Gold!

Personal Initiative – The Good, The Bad and the Ugly!

According to Andrew Carnegie, there are two types of people in the world who will never amount to anything. The first is the one who will give only what is asked for or demanded to get a job done. The second is the person who cannot even do what is required to get the job done. In my opinion, there is a third type of person who will have great difficulty achieving anything of lasting importance to themselves, or anyone else - that is the person who does not use good judgment or common sense when practicing personal initiative. Just as personal initiative, performed with logic and common sense will place a person ahead of the crowd, when practiced with poor judgment and a lack of discretion, personal initiative can be a dangerous, even destructive force.
