Todays BOOST

Here is a great Homerism from a birthday card this year, "He rolls up his shirtsleeves, seldom loses his shirt."

Roll up your sleeves today and have a great week.

Todays BOOST to survive until 5

Someone once said, "Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day."

If your day feels as long as mine has today, the good thing is the weather is great, and one more good thing is it's Friday.

Have a great weekend.

Cynthia Kersey said, "The only opinion about your dream that really counts is yours. The negative comments of others merely reflect their limitations - not yours."

Remember this quote next time you have a great idea.

Todays BOOST to survive the day

W. Edwards Deming said,"It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory."

There has been a sea change in both the United States and New Zealand that some believe will ensure our survival.

I for one am happy we have the chance for survival and I am embracing change.

Change is something we are not all comfortable with but change means growth and growth is what I work on everyday. This includes sending out the minimotivator every week day afternoon.

Have a great afternoon

Todays BOOST to survive the day

Henry Ford said, "Quality means doing it right when no one is looking."

Do you do this or do you think, that'll do and send it out the door?

I have found quality is a difference that you can't quite pinpoint but is worth the extra value placed upon it.

Pretend everyone is looking this afternoon and you will notice a big difference in what you do and how you act.

E.B. White said, "Genius is more often found in a cracked pot than in a whole one."

So, if someone is saying you're a crack pot because they don't get your idea, that's great. We need more crack pots because they make the world a better, more advanced, place.

Have a great afternoon.

Todays BOOST + the last minute

If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

I'm not sure who said that but that last minute has to be the longest minute there is. It is amazing what you can fit into 60 seconds if you really have to go for it.

So why leave everything to the last minute ? How about trying this; have several last minutes during the week when things have to be done by. That way you divide up what you are doing and will continually amaze yourself and everyone else at the amount of things you can accomplish..

Have a great afternoon and click on the link below to watch a video about things you probably don't know.

Arthur Buddhold said, "Follow your passion, and success will follow you."

I am very passionate about what I do to the point of sometimes thinking weekends get in the way of my work. Not that great for everyone else in my life.

As I'm writing this today I am reminded that Arthur's quote is very true. Success does come if you follow your passion.

Are you following your passion? It makes it so much easier to be at work if you do.
