“If someone studied your calendar, habits, and spending without knowing your strategic goal, could they tell where your life is headed?”

Great stuff, John! Where we invest our time and money and effort reveals who we REALLY are. Makes me think of Stephen Covey’s 4-quadrant time mgmt system covered in his book “First things first.”

Absolutely Baird. If we can stay on top of the important before it becomes urgent we wil be in pretty good shape.

That is a great story, Baird, and I'm sure they got more out of that than another 50-slide lecture.

Thanks John. I discovered the value of “short and funny” much too late in my career!
