I'm posting this on Sunday. Hopefully some people will read it today. Most will read it Monday. Then, over the course of weeks, many will read this post.

When you read it doesn't matter. Apply the words to any Monday.

Monday. That's the day we're always extra busy. Mondays are accepted as the worse day of the week. No, not just because Monday is the first work day after a relaxing weekend. Many people don't have relaxing ...

If you want to succeed and enjoy your work, you'll need to take chances, step out and be a little different.

You can get by by just doing your work. You'll get your annual 3% raises if you do your work efficiently enough not to draw attention. And that's exactly where most employees want to be: under the radar.

Are YOU changing anything at your business or organization? No, not change for change's sake, but change that brings improvement. Are YOU working on changes?

Why not?

Is your business or organization changing the 'rules' within your industry or sphere?

The most successful companies rewrite the rules all the time. That's what makes them so hard to catch!
