Studies show that over 80 percent of Americans do not have their dream job. If more knew how to build organizations that inspire, we could live in a world in which that statistic was the reverse - a world in which over 80 percent of people loved their jobs. People who love going to work are more productive and more creative. They go home happier and have happier families. They treat their colleagues and clients and customers better. Inspired employees make for stronger companies and stronger economies.

Dream, Jobs, Home

Sometimes we give too much too soon. Sometimes we hold back for too long. This is our beautiful dance. Our imperfect dance. This is the dance that makes us human.

Profit isn't a purpose, it's a result. To have purpose means the things we do are of real value to others.

A five minute call replaces the time it takes to read and reply to the original email and read and reply to their reply... or replies. And I no longer spend 20+ minutes crafting the perfect email - no need to.

Believe, People, Goal

Simon Sinek (2009). “Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action”, p.62, Penguin

If everything goes right, we get a good experience. If everything goes wrong, we get a good story.
