Putting Together Our FAST Planner

In my last post, I talked about creating a document to track our progress on a long term goal using the FAST method which includes… 1. Focused work means working on one thing at a time. You turn off all distractions such as e-mail, web browsers, and close your door if possible, and focus on one key task. 2. Accountable means setting a short term and long term goal for your … [Read More...]

Reach Your Goals FAST

I just finished up a powerful and insightful personal development book, entitled The Way We Are Working…Isn’t Working, by Tony Schwartz.

Find Your Place

In my first book, The Path of Consequence, one of the characters reveals 7 different attributes or "talents" that make up a successful life. One of those talents is "place." It's the idea of finding the perfect place to live or work or somewhere just to visit. It's finding your OZ at the end of a yellow brick road. It's discovering the small town in the middle of nowhere that has … [Read More...]
