The Thinking Behind The Tweet

While talking with a friend, the conversation turned to the topic of the obtaining value in the form of reassurance from others. My immediate thought was...see above.

Thought Tweet #995

Thought Tweet #995 Once upon a time there were no walls. People must have beat their heads against something else.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When you are beating your head against a wall the first thing to do is recognize, your head doesn't fare well when you pit it against a wall.

Heads don't fare well when you beat it against walls.

If you saw others beating their heads against walls, would you join them?

Walls versus Heads...the smart money is on Walls.

...all of this in support of changing for the better.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

If you're struggling with business, take a detailed look - take a detailed look from a fresh, new perspective - at how you deal with People, Processes, & Situations.

When you do this you will discover your Bad Habits, the ones that are at the root of your struggles. When you know these Bad Habits you can remove them and replace them with Good Habits.

Thought Tweet #991 Take a chance...take off that fear coat.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When fear of change gains too much power over people it sucks the joy out of business.

It's a matter of choice; we do not have to wear fear coats; we can choose to take them off.
