Effort Makes a Difference

Since the last post I launched a new business. Also in that time I had a baby. I'm fortunate because I won two significant 12 month contracts; however, I used that stability to rest on my laurels. Recently I realized if I continue working 75% my company won't be around after those contracts expire. So I started working more hours and harder. Already the result has been new sales, greater joy, and increased vigor. It was actually hard to only work 75% because I felt bad about my performance, which brought down the quality of the work I was doing and the enthusiasm behind it.

They say luck (another word for blessings) is a product of preparedness and hard work. I'm a lot more blessed when I'm doing my part.
