I used to spend my days as a fireman
running from crisis to crisis
putting out fires.
There are whole companies that seem to run
on Crisis Management:
If it is not a crisis
it does not get managed.
Now I create enough time and space
to focus on the things that are most important:
- being profitable
- taking care of customers
- trouble shooting up front before problems arise
- attracting "five star" clients
- meeting new people who can refer me business
I am doing the things that are important
versus what is urgent
and surrounding myself with
people who know the difference.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
