Change Something BIG

   

Remember Your Mission: •  To create something

worth talking about •  To work with people who

also want to connect their values with their work

•  To build the best brand from the inside out

•  To show positive change

•  To work on the problem until the positive outweighs the negatives every day of the week

   

Listen As If Your Life Depends On It & Then Take Action

   

Processes

Think About

   

1)  Every day, be around people who are kind to you and love you.

2)  Every day, avoid death. Be a little healthier every day.

3)  Solve difficult gratitude problems.

4)  Write down ten ideas a day.

5)  Plant seeds. Send a thank you note, create something new, read a book, surprise your spouse.

6)  No excuses (blaming is draining).

7)  Remember Warren Buffet’s 5/25 Rule – narrow your focus. Pick the top five things you really want to do and do them.

8)  Follow up with people. 9)  Stand next to the smartest person

in the room.

10)  Do one thing every day you loved as a kid.

11)  Ask questions and stay curious.

12)  Say “no” to things that are a waste of your time.
