I took a short vacation to the middle of nowhere this past weekend. Armed with a couple of new books, a pad, and paper; I started doing some off the wall stuff like writing a personal mission statement, writing down my goals for the next couple years, and so on. It was a very productive weekend to say the least.
On the way down, I was listening to the audiobook version of ‘Never Eat Alone’ which is an amazing read. In fact, it is going to be my book of the month whenever I get in front of a computer to do the giveaway, but anyway…
In the book Keith Ferrazi says “Growth only comes from change.” This rings so true in both business and life. The only way to grow is to change. Whether its a new product or a new initiative, change is what helps you break out of a rut, get into new territory, or further strengthen your success..
anyway, long story short, call it an epiphany or whatever but it took some serious rethinking that somethings in life are best left happy-go-lucky and goals should be very short term and your list be small. ok, time to get off the soapbox now..
