Well said, Jim.
For 2011, there are two quotes that I’m going to try my best to live by:
1) “If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting.” (Steven Covey)
2) “Whether you think you can or you can’t, either way you are usually right.”
(Henry Ford)
Happy New Year!
Gee
Hi Gee. Those are 2 excellent quotes, though I think the first one was around a long time before Mr Covey.
Thanks for sharing!

I liked this what Gee left; “Whether you think you can or you can’t, either way you are usually right.”

It’s a great quote Norman, and in my experience, pretty accurate too.
Excellent post and the message is so universal. It applies to absolutely everything and everybody!

My staff tend to call me rubber neck, as I am always sticking it out and taking risks. In the lean times of staring a new business, they even hung a mini noose up as a joke. There was a new craze on the market, I ordered a thousand pounds worth and couldnt sell them. Three years later the craze took off again in the UK, I ordered another grands worth, they said I was crazy, we had a over a hundred of then sold at £70 each before they arrived for Christmas. I went on to sell 40 grands worth.
The noose has been taken down!
What always spurned me on, was that when I started the new business, someone nice to my face, said behind my back that I had taken on more than I could chew, thats all I needed to show them.
I now run the business from another country, and visit it for 3 days a month, and still take the same wage from it. OK my great staff run it. While I an exporing new avenues in business.
Somtimes I need a little push to remind me I can do more than i realise, reading Jim’s blog always gives me a little shove in the right direction.
