Four Strategies To Work Smarter, Not Harder |
"I recently discovered a self evaluation form that allows you to determine which entrepreneurial skills or aptitudes you have or need to improve upon. If you are interested in trying it, you can find it here.
In the self-evaluation, there is a category called “commitment to work contract”, which basically evaluates your commitment to completing a job, with questions such as: “I will do almost anything to finish a task on time” and “I treat my family, my friends and my own convenience as less important than getting a job done.”.
I can see what they’re getting at: you need to be prepared to work A LOT. But to me, it’s about working smarter, not harder. To me, this category should be about project management and time management skills, not how much family time we are willing to sacrifice to get the job done.

Frank Calloway spends his days turning visions from his youth into lively murals -- and at 112 years old, the images of his childhood are a window to another time. Drawn on sheets of butcher paper and sometimes stretching to more than 30 feet long, his scenes give a glimpse into the early 20th century. Calloway, diagnosed with schizophrenia, lived about half his life in state mental health centers, where his talent lay dormant until he took an art class in the 1980s and began to draw again, and never looked back. "There’s a presence with him, I’m telling you, that feels angelic," said Rebecca Hoffberger, founder and director of the American Visionary Art Museum, which will feature his works in an exhibit in Baltimore -- his first airplane trip and likely the first time he’s left Alabama.

 Whether the economy is on a downward or upward swing, whether our bank accounts
are full or empty, many of us feel that we are suffering from a grave sense of
lack and scarcity in our lives. Current Western society would lead us to believe
that acquiring financial wealth would be the answer to all of our problems. Or
would it? In this thought-provoking program, author and Eastern philosopher Laurence
Boldt takes you on a journey to uncover what your belief system is and just how
much your life is being dictated by a misdirected desire to gain peace of mind
through acquiring material wealth.
Money should not cost you your soul.
Money should not cost you your relationships.
Money should not cost you your dignity.
Money should not cost you your health.
Money should not cost you your intelligence.
Money should not cost you your joy.
What is your search for material wealth costing you? In this
remarkable program, you will be guided on a journey of self-discovery through
contemplation of the powerful teachings of the ancient Taoist philosophy. Based
on the foundation of the solid and deep wisdom that the Tao provides, you will
gain great insights that take you from the trappings of the constant search
for contentment to an inner-directed life of peace and fulfillment.
