It’s 5:00am and for me this is the best time to write, think, pray, and reflect on the day before me. What also happens regularly at this hour, is how many times I am reminded of old stories that just come to mind and most, long forgotten. As I read Chet’s blog this morning, Day … Continue reading Day 299: Compliant to Committed

“It’s just business” …. I remember the day when I uttered those words as we were parting company with a long-time employee. My Boss asked me to be in the meeting to basically shadow him in this difficult situation and to better understand how he would approach this situation.

I love this Sunday discipline! It’s very intentional, you can get up a little earlier than the family or after the young ones are in bed and review your Productive Action from the past week and the week ahead of you.

And in most cases the leader has spent … Continue reading Day 294:Unite or Untie…

As I read Chet’s Blog, it is one of the shorter blogs but clearly packed with questions and challenges as to what kinds of choices and decisions we are making for our lives. And very specifically the question, “is it common practice for you to Live Hard, Love Harder? As I stated in an earlier blog, … Continue reading Day 293: Common practice….

One thing I know for sure, when you do the hard work of building a strong CORE, a compelling OPUS, and consistent Productive Action on a day-to-day basis, you have begun building that Second Nature, what Chet writes about in so many of these blogs.  You start to understand that it’s fruitless and it’s a waste of … Continue reading Day 292: Integrity…
