2013 – Things to STOP Doing and Power Walking!
December 28, 2012
Do you do New Year’s Resolutions? Did you ever create a list of things to “stop” doing in your new year?
I have always been someone that is goal-oriented with foresight to apply the future to the current. It’s no surprise that my career and life is focused on helping people to plan goals, walk into their future with greater confidence, and to take action on their dreams.
Recently, I went through my process of reviewing the past year, looking at my dreams and the brutal facts of my 2012, so that I could assess where change is needed for 2013. Though I created 54 resolutions in 10 areas of life, what I seek to share with you today is two new insights that remain vivid in my mind.
Life Changing Insights from the Go-Giver
December 12, 2012
Did you ever start a client meeting with how could I help you? Recently, I read a great book that was easy to read, but very impactful called: The Go-Giver.
In a fast paced business world, I find the world focused much more on receiving than giving. As I post this near Christmas time, it might be a season in which we are able to focus on giving more naturally. However, what would our lives and businesses looked liked if we focused on it much more through the entire year as we walked forward?
Today, I would like to share my review of this book with you, and encourage you to read the entire book. It is a very quick read and a memorable one. The authors also wrote two other related books that are on my list – “Go-Givers Sell More” and “It’s Not About You”. If you are desiring to grow as a leader and/or grow as a sales/marketing professional next year, I believe they would be great reads as well for you!
