Graduation and Lessons

My 2 daughters. Erika the graduate holding Mary Esther.


My elder daughter graduated from college last weekend. It was a very emotional event for me and I am very proud of her. She got out of college quicker than I did and with a higher GPA and I am considered to be pretty bright.



There were lots of lessons from the weekend of graduation for me. Lots of memories and amazement. I kept thinking of my daughter's birth and wondering just how it was that she was already a grown woman and getting her college diploma. Where did the time go? I have heard that phrase my entire life, but this was the first time I said it myself. Where did the time go?



Here is a lesson that I decided to keep around: "There is all the time you need accomplish your most heartfelt goals, but there is never time to waste."



Till next time...Jack

Questions to Grow Your Business

I love questions. I use them all of the time...for myself...for my business...for my clients.

Here are two that I just love and I use them to bookend my days. In my journal, and I hope you are journaling, I write these questions and the answers to them...each and every day:

Start of the day question: What will I commit to doing today that will advance my most important business projects and how will I ensure that I have fun in the process?

End of the day question: How good of a job did I do today of really making the best use of my day and really having a blast...a great time while I worked?

Now I use many more questions than these, but just starting here will do great job of keeping you focused and having fun and if you are focused, working and having fun...you will achieve!

Bye for now...Jack
