WHY
I recently read one of the most thought provoking books on business. The title is Start with Why by Simon Sinek. He asks the reader to consider WHY they are in business.
I believe we all know the parts of WHY-What, How and You. However do you really know your WHY. Is your WHY the same today as when you began. Is your WHY truly YOU? Have you maintained the reason that What you are doing is really WHY you wanted to in the first place.
WHY can easily be replaced with Purpose. If we lose our WHY then the What and How can become robotic and unrewarding. In order to be rewarding it has to have the You. You have to want to achieve whatever success means to You. You have to look forward to facing each day with great enthusiasm and desire to make a difference.
So I challenge you to stop and consider do I know my WHY.

This often repeated quotation, attributed to Joseph P. Kennedy, is one that is very applicable to today. When we hear that things are not good or when things start to slow down, many people make it worse by getting into a negative thought pattern. It is very easy not be positive. Negative thinking […]
Failure to Communicate
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.” These words were spoken in the movie Cool Hand Luke and today we hear them repeated over and over.
