Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 09/12/11

Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 09/12/11

September 12, 2011—Issue #103

This week’s focus point: We respectfully mourn the dead and extend sympathies to their loved ones and families in our prayers and thoughts about 9/11. There were those who died by surprise and abruptly, and those who died heroically doing their jobs as expected of them, and those who died in the simple human compassion of attempting to help others even though it wasn’t their job. The finest tribute, perhaps, for all those people is for the rest of us to live life boldly and unafraid, to build and to explore, to protect our freedoms and to extend our help. After all, our “day” in the U.S. is neither September 11 nor December 7, but rather July 4.

Monday Morning Perspective: The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both. — Zen Buddhist Text

I remember a meeting with a boutique consulting firm that had fallen on hard times. The debate was whether or not to sell their magnificent conference table. “Where would clients sit?” asked one partner. “We have no clients,” stated the advocate of selling. You can’t cut your way to renewal or success. Top line growth is the key to bottom line achievement, for you and for your clients. Today is the time to invest in the future. Once you cut muscle, you’re powerless.
