You’re more influential than you think.

I’m on the list, click here to add yourself and see where you stack up.

These are my own thoughts on finding leverage versus taking shortcuts as it applies to business:

Leverage: Positive thing.  Turning one action or effort and having effect on more than one part of your business.  Controlled leverage can make a business soar.

Taking Shortcuts: Negative thing.  Looking for ways to deliver less, to gain an “acceptable result.”  Only good for short term profits or time savings…in the long-term, kills your business.

What do you think?

You’ve no doubt heard the phrase… “think outside the box”…or a variation of that phrase.

I have something for you to think about today (and yes, there is a BIG lesson here)…

Is there really a “box” to think outside of in the first place?

Or…

Do you really need some artificial mental barrier to cross to justify a solid (or bad) idea in the first place?

Folks…there is no “box”.  Never was.  The “box” is just one of those artificial limits we place on ourselves for some twisted reason.

How many more artificial limits can you think of?

Now, go do some real thinking.
