Having Your BestDay

If you believe the national surveys, only 30% of employees enjoy what they do for a living. Life is too short to waste our time doing something that does not inspire us. Sometimes we just need to see the examples of others to help us chart our own course. When we meet people who love their craft - they inspire us.

Our blog, “Having Your BestDay”, are personal first-hand experiences graciously provided by members of our team, as well as other thoughts that inspire us, information that makes us think, and insights we have learned over time.

A Tsunami is Upon Us - A Work Tsunami

A Tsunami is Upon Us - A Work Tsunami

My Father worked for the same organization for 36 years. Dramatically, 40% of my sons' generation believe they are going to be entrepreneurs. This incredible change in generational attitudes about work becomes more foreboding for employers as the average stay of younger employees hovers around three years.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

It’s just stuff

Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.

Heading for the second mountain

Heading for the second mountain

If the first mountain is about building up the ego and defining the self, the second is about shedding the ego and dissolving the self. If the first mountain is about acquisition, the second mountain is about contribution.
