Your Life is NOT about You

We are often told to live a life of design.  When it comes to life's realizations, we find that the world does not stop and start at your expense.   For people to care about You and what you want to do with your life, you have to care first.  Most people wake up each day think about all the things they need to do.  Very few take time to truly understand what other people value.  Before you call your staff meeting and tell your people what they need to do in this week or day, take a minute to really find out what do your people really care.  It is not that our goals and priorities are not important.  At the end of the day, the people who prioritize being the best friend, parent and partner consistently do well for themselves.   Helping people carve their own path is the best way to carve your own.  For me, it is a sign that you are ahead of the game when you realize that life is not about You.  Although personal freedom is the k...

10 Life Lessons from Lucy

The 7 Fetters of Highly Effective People

It pains me to see some people that are so talented and yet they did not achieve much.  In fact they have what we called 7 Fetters of Highly Effective People.  Face the fetters and take action today to remove them and you will be on a different path.  The 7 Fetters are: Having No Goals.  Alas, this is so old-fashioned but really if you have no goals, you will just be living your life on a roller coaster - many ups and downs but you end up where you begin - no improvement at all.   Having Too 'Ambitious' (Unrealistic) Goals.  This is the opposite of Having No Goals, but is more than that. These people are unrealistic, they are going for the moon when right now they can't even swim in the Pacific Ocean. Such people are not grounded, they live in dreams and often they are impractical. Having No Friends.  No man can succeed alone and friends can be a great leverage at the right time. Some people said that it is better to have a few enemies but man...
