Survey: How do you do it all?

June 29, 2009 By 31 Comments

Riddle me this…

I’m a husband, new dad, small business owner, a christian who earnestly desires to live a fully devoted life, and thanks to my new Wii and Wii Fit I got for Father’s day, apparently I have about 25lbs to lose to get back in the “normal” BMI range. Nice.

Bills. Small business time. Quiet time. Quality time. Kid time. Wife time. Romance time. Household chore time. Hobby time. Blog time. Workout time. Friend time. New idea time. Client prospect time. Client maintenance time. Staff time. Innovation time. New idea time. Sleep time. Sabbath time. Prayer time. Me time? Oh my! And what else am I forgetting?

We, my generation, are no stranger to the concept of mentors, but the reality is, they are few and far between.

So today, I stand for all those in my generation whose life applies to one or more of the above identities and responsibilities. Together, we ask the generation before us…

How do you do it all?

What success have you had in leveraging your time to become all that you want to be?

If you had it to do over again, what would you do differently?

What is your key to quality relationships?

Difference between idea and success

June 28, 2009 By 4 Comments

I’ve got an idea. I’ve been chewing on it for about six months. And like a cow chewing his cud, I am still chewing.

I’ve talked to people. I’ve asked questions. I’ve even began to put together documents to show how serious I am about it.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about it. I see it’s need everywhere.

I would go as far as saying that it’s not just my idea, but that it’s a divine idea.

People have even agreed, it’s a good idea.

Unfortunately, it’s still just an idea.

We all have ideas. Some big. Some small. Some hopes. Some dreams.

The difference between an idea and a success? Obedience and unwavering commitment to make the idea a reality.

Success isn’t indicated by money in the bank (although that’s a nice reward); it comes by execution.

You may fail, but failure can also be a success.

What are you waiting for?

You were made for that idea.

You were made for success.
