"We
will find only what we look for, nothing more and nothing less." Author Unknown |
On a personal note, we had new carpets installed this week at our home. This necessitated a HUGE clean up, or at least a removal of all our "stuff" from the main and second floor to the basement. Of course we have the best intentions of going through it all and getting rid of most of it because there is so much "stuff" we don't even know what we have!
This would work IF we weren't a bunch of pack rats. This leads me to two things:
1. Check out the Clutter Rescue ad on this newsletter. If you are like us, there are people that can help!
2. In sorting through my piles, I came across a book I was given by the company I worked for in the 90's. Fifteen years later, the book, "New Work Habits for a Radically Changing World" by Price Pritchett is actually a little condescending but still has value. Focusing on the shift from a manufacturing-based economy to an information society: it gives a list of things the EMPLOYEE had to do to adapt. Being the perfect employee, I was already doing some of them. Concentrating on the rest was not a bad thing. These skills and attitudes allowed me to have a great career and now to have a successful business of my own.
Check out this week's TIPS and ask yourself if you are doing Pritchett's "13 Ground Rules for Job Success".
