Answer You - Information -- Schminformation, Enough Already!
The power of Statistics. Information is power. Conversely a lack of vital information can be very costly to any business.Do you know your monthly lead traffic count? Do you actually know how many prospects enter your place of business over the course of a month?Most business people could tell what their actual 'paying customer' count is but it is amazing how many really do not have a clue how many people actually enter their place of business. Why is this inform
I meet exhausted, duty-driven people every day. The most common phrase I hear is,"I'm just too busy." How on earth did we get into this state? We are suffering physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually with this lifestyle we created. We hear the advice "relax" and "just slow down." And who DOES that!? Slowing down a duty-driven life only prolongs the suffering while living a passion-driven life actually energizes you.

The second camp is companies -- and this means colleagues and immediate bosses, not just senior management. Companies need to accord a greater amount of respect to employees' right to personal time. Ideally they should define a corporate policy on out-of-hours calls, and ensure staff sticks to it. Not only will a responsible, respectful policy on mobile phone use keep employees happier and more motivated, it will ultimately translate into greater efficiencies, since staff that doesn't fear co

What the heck good is all this information if we can't use it? Or can't find it? Well, there is good news...
The INFORMATION AGE is slowly passing. Like the tail of a comet that appears, is visible for a time then gradually loses it's brilliance and fades from view. And in it's wake there arrives...
TA DAH...
THE INSPIRATION AGE!
Let's look at the word "inspire". It comes from the root words "in spirit".
"We have a responsibility to listen to and honor the siren calls of our Souls-too often silenced by our egos" -Lance Secretan, Author of "INSPIRE: What Great Leaders Do"
How much of the activity in your life is duty-driven? How much of the activity in your life is driven by passion? There is a world of difference between duty-bound activities and INSPIRED action! INSPIRATION propels you into the actions you love to do. In any segment of your life, if you do not love what you are doing 80% of the time, you are not living an On-Purpose life.
INSPIRATION is fueled by passion. What are you passionate about? If you can get in touch with this, you will have defined your life purpose. For most of us that is not easily done and is a good subject for Life Coaching. In the meantime, here are some ideas with which to start:
1. Write a list of things that are important to you. You will find that once you get rolling, you won't be able to write them down fast enough.
2. List 10 times you felt like a winner or things you are most proud of. Some should be from childhood.
3. What do you want people to remember about you?
4. What do you want to accomplish in your life before you die?
5. If a book were written about you, what would the title be?
6. Finish this sentence... "I want to make a difference by..."
Remember one thing...your purpose is not what you do (job), it is not your role in life (parent, spouse, teacher, etc.), it is why and who you are "in spirit". Your purpose can be fulfilled in any number of professions or roles.
If you find your INSPIRATION by answering the above questions, then WoooHooo, good on ya, mate! (I'm practicing my Australian). You will have discovered the driving force that propels you. Something will spark a flame, rev the idling engine, snap a piece into place and off you go.
You know, people want to be INSPIRED, people want to create, people want to connect. It's in our human-ness. In this new INSPIRATION Age, we will want to place ourselves in the company of people and events wherein taking action is the purpose. So much of Information is passive - reading, surfing the Internet, watching TV. Often we do nothing with it. While all of INSPIRATION is in passion-driven action.

In 1971 I was surgeon on the P&O liner Orcades. On Christmas morning early the phone rang, could I come and look at someone with weird rash. The patient was Goanese, and was one of a batch of 20 or so that had been flown in to Singapore some 5 days ago to relieve others due leave. His problem was spots and slight fever. They were on the young man’s arms and chest, raised from the surface of the skin, with a central dimple, and in medical jargon ‘umbilicated’. This was big jump from treating s

You want that shiny silver laptop badly. In fact, you'd happily give a finger just to be able to make your reports on that laptop. So, what keeps you from strolling into the shop and walking away with the laptop of your dreams? It's money, or the lack thereof. Do not lose hope, however.

Going into your workday and waiting for things to happen, and then reacting to them is not a very productive way of doing things. You may as well be going into your workday blind.This is why it is so very important to have an action plan.An action plan, simply put, is a plan of action, there just is no other way to say it.Your action plan should be built piece by piece, based on what it is you want to have accomplished during your work week.For starters, take a pen
