3 6 5 Da!ly Dr!ve . . . Time, it's the single most important thing in our lives . . . We can't get it back . . .

3 6 5 Da!ly Dr!ve . . .

What are you intending to do today?

What are the tings that you are working on to get ahead?

It's the single most neglected commodity, cuz it seems like we have so much, but so much of our time is wasted . . . Wasted in things that do not build us up, help us grow or challenge us.

We all need to rest and relax, sometimes, but not all the time.

What are you doing about your time?

It's limited and once it runs out - that's it.

Routine Rut . . .

How does one get out of their routine rut?  Simply by shifting their mindset.  Making a tiny course correction, a simple attitude adjustment.  This may sound easy, however it is much harder than that.  It takes COURAGE to stand up to your self reflection and take control back over.  It takes guts to recognize your situation and it can be challenging to get a grip or a handle on your emotional roller coaster.  Control your emotions and redirect yourself towards a life worth living.

Having a meaningful and purposeful life can be exhilarating.  It can make the difference in everything, forward.  

Waking up DETERMINED and going to bed SATISFIED . . . This is a feeling we all should have.  And if we're not experiencing this feeling nor living this out each day, then, we should make a change (or two).  Having a sense of pride in what you are doing, where you spend the majority of your time, at work, is so IMPORTANT and can make or brake you. . . You family, friends and yourself NEED you to be happy.  They want you to be happy.  You DESERVE to BE HAPPY.

It's SIMPLE, not EASY . . . A little better each day.

What is your Da!ly Dr!ve?

Why are you waking up, dressing up and where are you going?  And I'm not referring to work.  I'm referring to your LIFE . . .

What get's you EXCITED?

What is your PASSION?

Where are you now?

Where do you want to be?

How are you going to get there?

What course correction do you need to make today?  Tomorrow?  Near-future?  Long-Term?

Do you have the DESIRE to CHANGE?

Are you willing to make the COMMITMENT to YOURSELF?

Are you WILLING to HOLD yourself ACCOUNTABLE?

Da!ly Score Card . . . learned this one for K.T.

Job Interview at #Heineken





Interviews can be tricky, they can test you, and tap on your mental toughness while bringing you out of your comfort-zone, but they can't make you be someone whom you are not . . . Interviews are designed with the intent of getting to know you . . . the real you behind the resume . . . Getting to know what makes you tick, what you stand for and what you wont stand up for . . . This is a great example . . . Thanks Heineken for sharing

It’s Just a Hill . . . Get Over It . . .

Referring to Life, as in Business . . . You are going to be faced with many obstacles and you can either walk or run towards them, asking yourself "Is this all you got"  or walk away or run away, saying, Why me?

I believe . . . If your path is more difficult . . . Then your calling is higher . . . 

70) Inward B4 Outward
71) Character over Competence
72) Employees are your biggest assets
73) Empower your employees
74) Be Flexible
75) Be consistent
76) Have one standard not a double standard
77) Fail often and fail fast
78) Giving mindset

79) Generosity

Under Self Construction . . .

Under Self Construction . . .

We have all had tough times and been through tough times, but they rarely last, however tough people do!  This segment is about You, yourself and no one else.  Are you living your Credo?  Do you have a motto?  Are you waking up each day and making a commitment to become the best you can be, however little progress you may see today or think you can achieve.  Are you Believing in yourself?  Are you challenging yourself, enough?  Are you progressing?  Are you reaching new heights, setting new goals, exceeding your own limits?  If not, then you better check yourself at the mirror and I’m not talking about your hair.  I’m talking about Mirror Management.  Waking up, motivated and ready to tackle the most difficult task, challenge that has been set forth.  Some of these are in your control and some aren’t.  What are you doing to be a force for good?  A force to better yourself.  A force to make those around you better?  What is your Self discovery and self reflection look like?  Are you Under Self Construction?

TRUTH - the hardest pill to swallow . . .


33) What’s Next?
34) There is no exception for mediocrity
35) Defy Convention
36) Overcoming Adversity
37) Warrior or Worrier
38) Be an Inspirationalist
39) Mirror Management - Da!ly Self Check – Self Under Construction 

TRUTH - the hardest pill to swallow . .

For many reasons, TRUTH is the hardest pill to swallow. Most people do not like to hear the TRUTH.  Why?  Sometimes its personal.  And it can be negative.  No one likes to hear negative things about themselves, their family or event their friends.  Although, some of these people like to talk shit on their boss(es) and about their company or their specific job.  Funny how that is.  Sadly though, most people in the work place, as I have come to find out, are not truly honest and they only reveal what they want, they prefer holding back, most of the time, especially critical and key elements.  Even the slightest detail, smallest amount of information can be vital to a task, which some may say is simple and not necessary.  Oh, but it is.  It always is.  Holding back bits and pieces of the job does not make sense to me.  Why would a boss not want his or her people to be successful.  Ultimately, this makes them successful.  This creates collaboration, unity and a stronger team.  By holding back elements of the job at hand and/or over-all direction of the dept. or company, can create a gap.  A gap in productivity, a gap in effectiveness and in time.  This process is bullshit and I am calling it out.  You may disagree, but you know I’m right.  If you take the time and really think back in your career, where some manager or so called leader left you out of an important conversation, did not invite you to a meeting and left you hanging without vital information, only to find yourself needing this information and having to make a decision based on facts, historical data, without having all of the necessary information.  How did this make you feel?  Did you feel like part of this team?  So you’re telling me, this has never happened to you.  You have never done this to anyone else?  You had someone’s careers in your hands and you did absolutely everything you could to empower them, to help them succeed and to make them a team player.  You never took credit for something that was not yours?

At the end of the day, the TRUTH is very important to our overall success and growth.  Simply put, we need to be more honest with people and we need to accept the truth, although it make sting a bit, at the time, it will help us over the long-term. 

Swallow it . . . Eat this stuff like candy.
