Terry's Blog | Daily strategies, insights and inspiration to help you achieve your potential

Fear

"Fear does not prevent death, it prevents life."

            -Buddha

Decision Making

Never judge a decision purely by its result, especially when randomness and external factors play a role. 

Complacency

Complacency kills future success.

Employee Recognition

Recognize people for actions and results: completion of special projects, achievement of company goals, demonstrations of company values. Replace "Employee of the Month" with "Achievement of the Month."

Clarity

"The world is like muddy water. To see through it, we have to let things settle."  -Ryan Holiday, author

Grit

Intrinsic motivation launches you down the path of peak performance, proper goal setting helps define the path, and grit is what keeps you keeping on despite the odds and obstacles. 

Goals

Hard goals drive performance more effectively than easy goals. Specific hard goals produce a higher level of output than vaguely worded ones.

Seeing

Seeing something is not the same as noticing it.

Being Present

"Yesterday is but a dream. Tomorrow is only a vision. But today we'll lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope."

    -Kalidasa, fifth century Sanskrit writer 

Saying No

When we know what to say "No" to, we can say "Yes" to the things that matter.
