As you look back on 2014, what is it that you see?
Few things probably.
A great to-be list will reduce your to-do list as you look forward.

Better
That’s my word for 2015.
Better _________________.
Started to graph out what this could potentially look like.
I read The Alchemist again today and was happy to see this thinking echoed.
Let’s get better.
What can you leverage?
Talents.
Ideas.
Money.
Data.
Emotion.
Relationships.
Proximity.
Whimsy.
Belief(s).
Disbelief.
Experience.
Capacity.
Story.
Google.
And so on.
So what’s the good news here?
It’s not all on you.
The First ‘Yes’.
Remember that first day you arrived to work? That day you shot out of bed, saw the world in possibilities, and tuned your heart a frequency of service?
For those that are married, what about your wedding day? That ‘I do’ that day was a promise of ‘yes’.
And for those of us with children, go to the delivery room. Nothing but ‘yes’ happens there.
We constantly must get back to the original day we said ‘yes’.
What you originally wanted hasn’t changed.
When most frustration arrives, you’ve probably allowed yourself to leave the state (or lose sight of) when you made your first commitment to ‘yes’. What has changed is how you see/perceive what you currently have.
There isn’t a better place to look at the finish line than going back to and getting into the state you were in at the starting line.
Monday. ‘Yes’ day.
2 Ways To Win Today in Business
1). Become cheaper.
2). Become more human.
There’s no vulnerability in a race to the bottom. Which is why most choose #1.
Yet vulnerability is the dirt where possibility grows and blooms into stories that get shared, get talked about, and connect us.
