Here in Minnesota it really feels like a fall day as the temp was in the 50s this morning on the way to my workout and it's very windy. It feels like October. Where is my jacket? I like a nice sunny day but that isn't how it works all the time. There are circumstances and issues that come up that maybe we weren't expecting so we have to make adjustments of some kind.
I usually take myself back to the fundamentals of this business and look at what it is that I should be focusing on. My job is to keep myself motivated and inspired and it isn't always easy. But what I have learned after being in the business for over four decades is I am an entrepreneur and I have to go find a mirror and have a talk with my boss. My boss is ME!
There is a simple Chinese Proverb that I have looked at over the years that kind of helps me when I want to continue to move forward. It is as follows:
I hear, and I forget
I see, and I remember
I do, and I understand
When I do, I also change.
Problems, issues, obstacles are all a part of the process and I've learned to ask myself some questions. What are my goals? Am I doing the right things? I know that for me doing the right things are obviously very important. I have also learned that there are three factors that seem to influence me the most. What does influence me are the books I read and the people I'm around, and my daily consistent prayer life. Those three factors are what help me the most when it comes to solving problems, issues or obstacles - especially my prayer life.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
