Wholehearted performance checklist
"The antidote to exhaustion is not rest; the antidote to exhaustion is ... ... wholeheartedness" - David Whyte We perform at our finest when we are wholly engaged. Whether we are working or playing tennis, we achieve our best (with least effort) when we are fully focused on what we are doing, when we enjoy the task in hand without stress. Yet this engagement can often be missing. For example, our tendency to constantly evaluate ourselves may get in the way. So does our fear of "getting it wrong". For many successful professionals, boredom can be a big distraction)

A CEOs Thoughts on Collaboration
I had breakfast with Matt Blumberg – the CEO of Return Path – yesterday. I’ve worked with Matt for at least six years and love the way his brain works. During my frustrating quest for the best chocolate croissant in Boulder (so far all of the ones I’ve found appear to be exactly the same – I’m guessing there is one chocolate croissant distributor in town) we talked some about “collaboration.”
Simplicity and Start-up Alchemy: An Interview with WordPress Creator, Matt Mullenweg
Shame on me. I don’t know how to code. I should, but I need to get my Indonesian and Arabic fix before I can tackle Python and Ruby on Rails and Sugar-Coated Sugar Bombs. That is part of the reason that I love WordPress, the blogging platform this blog runs on. The simple-to-use and open-source WordPress, or WP, is a favorite of diehard bloggers, and its 22-year old lead developer, Matt Mullenweg, is #16 on The 50 Most Important People on the Web list by PC World. Damn. That’s bad-ass.
Productivity through Chocolate Reflections
So there I sat, staring at the candy and trying not to open the first one. (My will power diminishes after eating one.) Of course, I gave in and ate my first one. I was surprised to see that on the inside of every wrapper are little messages. It is like a chocolate fortune cookie! With every one I opened, I found another productivity thought. "Get Your Feet Massaged" Now doesn't that sound wonderful? Chocolate and a massage! But there is a productivity thought here. So many of us work and work and never take time out to recharge. That is what this message is telling us.
"We May be Poor but..."
It started off so innocently which made the contrast that much more painful. We were kidding around as our family often does at night. Ann had offered to make chocolate chip cookies -- favorites of Amber and mine. Then we discovered we were out of chocolate chips. It was close to 9 pm and I wasn't excited about going out, so Ann suggested we make oatmeal cookies, then we realized we were also out of cranberries. In the midst of all this she said, "This is how poor people live..." or something to that effect. That's it -- 6 words that felt to me like a 250 pound thug had struck me in my solar plexus.
The Media Personality and British Entrepreneur, Alan Sugar Started From Meager Beginnings
Sir Alan Sugar is best known for being the host of the British version of America's popular The Apprentice reality television show. However, most of his wealth comes from his founding of Amstrad, a multimillion dollar electronics firm. This is not how Sugar started out in life. In fact, Sugar comes from meager beginnings. Some people wonder how this man became so successful.
Sir Alan Sugar Begins to Build a Dynasty
Sir Alan Sugar did not begin his life on top of the world, he had to push and claw his way there. One of Britain's top businessmen, Sugar started out by selling car antennas, electronics out of the back of a van, but would build one of the largest electronics companies in Great Britain. People sometimes wonder how that business got started.
Lesson #1: Always be Selling
Sir Alan Sugar did not develop his marketing techniques by chance, he began noticing what people needed at an early age. In an interview with the Daily Mail in 2009, Sugar was quoted as saying, “I came from an environment where I had to succeed. Kids today are not as hungry as I was. They don't understand how tough my generation was.”
Lesson #2: Negotiate to Make More Sales
Sir Alan Sugar had to learn how to negotiate from an early age. The skills came naturally to him when he was only 12-years-old and working in a bakery on Saturday mornings. Sugar claimed later in his autobiography that those negotiating skills learned in his early jobs made him an “all-rounder” in business.
Lesson #4: Price Points Make You Money
Sir Alan Sugar developed an easy formula for the company he started in 1968, Amstrad. That formula would be called “price points.” It was so popular that several industries still use it today. This formula innovation would make Sugar say about himself, “I don't think too many people would want my job. I'm a bit of a Nutter.”
Lesson #5: Gain Experience in Your Trade
“Entrepreneur is not a word to be used lightly, and it’s certainly not something you call yourself. It should be a term used by a person when describing another’s abilities,” Sir Alan Sugar said in his autobiography. Sugar believes that people are born to be an entrepreneur or they are born to do something else.
