Greetings!

To paraphrase a Chinese proverb: The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, and the second best time is today. That rings true on so many levels but the one that really hits home is; in order to create change I must take action.

Positive Thought of the Week

Today I will act. I will find three things I have been planning to do and start doing them. It doesn’t matter if these are life changing or just day changing; the key to success action. It doesn’t matter how long I have delayed or how long it will take, the key is to start.

Business Thought of the Week

In today’s business climate (even more than normal) differentiation is the key. What am I doing differently for my clients and my co-workers that make us stand out against our competition. I will make sure I enhance my personal connections with my clients and co-workers. Personal visits and handwritten notes will help them both know that they can rely on me to understand their needs and react accordingly.

I was in Las Vegas last week doing two programs on exit planning for members of a national association who were all business owners. We had a very productive time.

Next month I will be working with a new client, traveling to a number of their locations in the SE. I will get a chance to work on team building and communication as well as coaching.

On a more personal note, I am very excited because I get to babysit my newest grandson, Alex this Tuesday. Lisa and Alex are coming from Atlanta because Lisa has a client she is working with on an upcoming wedding down here in Florida. She is bringing Alex with her, so Alex and I get to hang out most of the day and that should be very cool.

Please spread the word, let people know about the Positive thought of the Week, or better yet go to my website and sign them up to receive their own. I am grateful to hear from so many of you each week with wonderful stories about how you use The Daily Six. Please stay in touch and let me know when and how I might be of help to you or your organization.

I hope you have a great week!

All The Best ...
