Disagreeing With Brian Tracy: Self-Discipline Is Not The Most Important Success Principle
| |
| In his book The Power of Discipline,Brian Tracy talks about self-discipline being the most important success principle. He went on to define self discipline by quoting Thomas Huxley, who said, "Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not." But should we just cast aside how we feel about certain actions in business? After all business does affect the lives of all people and their families. Is self-discipline a recipe for capitalism without a conscience?
I advocate putting feeling and emotions back into business.It encourages a sense of purpose and meaning back into business. If you chase success without emotion you will never find it because the pursuit of success is about obtaining a feeling of being successful. Success is essentially an emotion. |

| You have to love today's social media. Ok you don't have to love it because
there is so darned much of it and it has empowered people. Problem is some people
just shouldn't be empowered. Heck some should have their computers unplugged
and their smartphones confiscated. But sites and blogs have done an excellent
source of how-to (how-to install, how-to use, how-to fix, how-to replace, how-to
get action) information. You have to love today's social media. Ok you don't have to love it because

First Write-Off

| Write offs are difficult to avoid. Most business, sooner or later, will see some expected income lost. Most of the time it is real loss, since you lost either billable hours or inventory.

Gather Your Own Information
| |
| We have become a society terrorized by information overload. There are no longer any mysteries in our surroundings. We are kept aware of everything at the speed of 24 hour news, internet sites, breaking news, severe weather, along with the minutiae of the subtle changes that occur thousands of times per day. Everything in real time. It’s George Orwell's 1984 on steroids. “Big Brother “ is not only watching but he’s reporting. What we have today pales in comparison to the fear instilled in us by that classic novel. |

Dispelling the green myths
| |
| As more people “wake up” to climate change we are seeing a lot of effort put towards starting to reduce our collective green-house gas emissions. Unfortunately however, there seems to be a lack of quantitative data being applied to many of these efforts, and consequently the media, individuals and business are often focusing on the wrong issues rather than putting the efforts towards combating the main contributors to our carbon footprint. |

Lesson #5: Do Well by Doing Good
| |
| “He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue,” wrote Franklin. “A good conscience is a continual Christmas.” Despite being wealthy enough to retire comfortably by the age of 42, Franklin continued to pursue civic projects and carry out benevolent acts throughout the rest of his life. He staunchly believed that the good life was achievable in direct proportion to one’s contribution to society and thus, from universities to hospitals to firehouses, Franklin dedicated his resources to giving back. |

“How Valuable Are Your Ethics or What is Your Price to Compromise Your Ethics?”
| |
| Everyone in business will eventually face a real crisis of conscience at some point or points in his or her career. Before facing that critical choice, I believe most people would say it is easy to think that they will act ethically, no matter what the personal cost. However, what will you really do when you are faced with the personal cost of losing the job you love (or desperately need) and placing your family’s welfare and your own self worth in jeopardy?
Is your personal respect and integrity negotiable? Do you have an ethical compass in good working order to guide you in resolving these ethical dilemmas? What will you do the next time you are faced with an ethical dilemma? Perhaps the following selected quotations about ethics in business and society can provide some guidance or at least some food for thought.
