Delegation Anyone?

Today I am sharing another great resource.  It is an article by Raymond Aaron called The Power of Delegation. 

I have seen Raymond in person a few times and always learn great things from his insights.  He is very generous with his wisdom.  As you will see he gives permission to share this article so I thought I would do just that!  I hope you enjoy it and learn something from it - I sure did.

"The purpose of delegation is so you can be yourself."  Raymond Aaron

Gotta love learning!

I am on a steep learning curve these days!  Sometimes I feel like I am climbing straight up!  It is scary and exciting at the same time.  Internet marketing, sales, networking, administration, delegating, creating - never a dull moment that's for sure!  It is so great to know that no matter what it is that you need to know, there is someone who has been there and done that.  Make sure you follow the ones who were successful and you don't have to re invent the wheel, you can go along for the ride.  I am so thankful to have a variety of mentors and teachers in different areas.

Another Quote Collector!

I am going through a program called Make Market Launch IT by Mike Koenigs & Pam Hendrickson and found out that Pam is a quote collector like myself.  She shared several quotes re discipline in today's video lesson so I thought I would pass a couple along.

"Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.  There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways."  H. Jackson Brown Jr.
"Self discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts.  If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do.  Simply, self discipline enables you to think first and act afterward."  Napoleon Hill

Got Talent?

"God's gift to you is more talent and ability than you will ever hope to use in your lifetime.  Your gift to God is to develop as much of that talent and ability as you can in your lifetime."
Steve Bow


What are you doing to develop the talents and abilities that you have?

Upcoming Events April and September 2012

 Well, here I am, exercising and stretching my technical skills once again.  I put these directly on my blog here (not cut and pasted from my weekly emails) so had to put the links in directly on here.  I think I did it....

Next thing you know I will be uploading photos and video!  (don't expect that not too soon though :))




This is the link for a short talk (1/2 hour) that I will be doing in Chilliwack next week Apr 18-12.

The Artist

I recently saw the movie, The Artist.  A silent film.  It demonstrated how we sometimes resist change.  When we refuse to adopt new technology, we can be left behind.  On the other hand, it showed how important it is to understand and respect the building blocks of how we got to the place we are today.  I don't think we are going to be seeing a number of more silent films.  The point has been made with this one.  It is a very unique, thought provoking film.  At least it was for me.

Success Condensed

I love TED Talks!  If you haven't heard of them, they are 20 minutes or less of some amazing information on a wide variety of topics.  The TED slogan is "Ideas Worth Spreading".

Indeed, I end up sharing them on facebook, my blog and in various groups.  Today I am going to share one with you!  Amazingly, it is less than 4 minutes, but still has great information - enjoy!
