Are You Addicted to the Yes Habit?
How often do you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no? Can you take on this extra project? Would you join our volunteer committee? We know its last minute but can you organize next week’s meeting? Would you like to get together with so and so (someone perhaps you’d rather not)? Is your 'Yes Habit" working for you?

At a recent leadership breakfast held through Lehigh University's Iacocca Institute, the speaker made mention that employees are really just volunteers.

Community Involvement the Wrong Way
There are wrong ways to demonstrate community involvement as well. If you volunteer to work on a committee but are never available for meetings, or if you sponsor a little league team and don't show up for games, you're proving yourself to be crass and superficial, probably sucking up the community to get business instead of working for it for altruistic reasons.

I just hope for your sake that none are your direct competitors.

The day where others are telling you that you can't more than you can. Your ability to pick yourself up and start again during those days is hugely important to your ability to make something really extraordinary happen.
