A Philosophy To Live By
Wisdom goes back a long way and comes in the form of examples, illustrations, stories, cliches, parables, etc. One of the oldest bits of philosophy says that “for want of a nail a shoe was lost, for want of a shoe a horse was lost, for want of a horse a rider was lost, for want of a rider a leader was lost, for want of a leader a battle was lost, for want of a victory a war was lost, for want of a plan a nation was lost.”

Fail Quickly To Succeed Fast
Almost every business owner has a continual supply of new ideas. But most of them never follow through on even one of those ideas. It's like they leave what could be the key to their future success locked up in a closet somewhere - never letting it see the light of day. Over the years, my experience has been that business owners are so reluctant to try out their new ideas because they don't have a simple way of testing them in an easy and low-risk manner. They (wrongly) believe that they would need to make significant changes in how their business runs in order to test an idea. And if that idea proves to be less-than-ideal, they are scared they will have hurt their business. But it doesn't have to be that way. They can apply "quick-failing" tactics to easily and safely test new ideas

Be More to Do More
Far too many people are trying to do more to be happy instead of trying to be more. Those who seek more peace and happiness in their lives describe what they "do" in a normal day as feeling overwhelmed and unable to get a handle on their lives. When I write the word do on a white board for each activity they perform-from the moment they wake up-within three minutes I have usually written the word do almost a hundred times.
