Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 10/15/12
October 15, 2012—Issue #160
This week’s focus point: We bring back mementos from our vacations that remind us of great times and explorations. Sometimes we realize later that they are actually inexpensive and common, but they still serve the purpose of reminding us, which is the real value. What “mementos” do you keep at hand to remind you how much value you bring to others, how much success you’ve enjoyed, how rich and full your life is? You should love to go on vacation, and then love to come home. You should love to go about your career, and then love to “come home.” What is apparent in your life daily that you can see, feel, and appreciate to remind you that you are effective, intelligent, successful, and someone others NEED to talk to? One thing travel tells us: We’re better off than we think.
Monday Morning Perspective: Whatever is morally necessary must be made politically possible. — Eugene McCarthy running during the 1968 Presidential campaign.

Free Day With Me: On 12/12/12 I’m running a free day at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick, RI to say “thank you” to all those who have supported my work, including you. The entrance requirement is a $50 tax-deductible donation made out to East Greenwich Animal Protection League (EGAPL), send to ME by check only (no credit cards) with your email address. Send to: Box 1009, East Greenwich, RI 02818. When the room is filled, I’ll halt the offer. The room rate is only $119. Out of the US? Just send an email and you can pay at the door ([email protected]). I’ll spend the very interactive day on business acquisition, role-plays, raising fees, and developing intellectual property. You never know what I’m going to do, because I don’t, either.
