“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.” Thomas Edison

“…one of my mantras - focus and simplicity.

Simple can be harder than complex:

You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” Steve Jobs

“The purpose of our lives is to be happy.”

Dalai Lama

Time and Focus• Take a look at where you are spending your time

and ask yourself-– Am I connecting with my purpose daily?

– Am I being true to my vision for my life and my business?

– Are my values guiding my decisions and actions

– Is what I’m currently doing important in the achievement of my goals, vision, and objectives?

– Is what I’m planning to do for the rest of the day/week aligned with my priorities?

– What excuses am I making for not doing what I really want to be doing? Why?
