Suggestions
for 2016
After
a long break the 7 Daily Nuggets is back!
2016
had a rocky start. Instead of making predictions on what will happen, here are
7 things we can do, things that are in our control, to prepare us for the
unexpected. As Dorothy would say, I have the feeling are no longer in Kansas, toto. We are in a new
economy where the information age changed the rules of the games we play. May
these suggestions help you in the entrepreneurial age.
1. Get back to
learning. The only way to thrive in
times of fast and ferocious change is to learn. If you are not reading at least
one great book a month, you are falling behind. Read wide and deep. For the
voracious readers, go for 3-5 books a month. Belong to a community of learners
by associating with learners.
2. Gain control
of personal finance. The Financial
Matrix is running rampant everywhere we look. Focus on eliminating debt. Launch
a business to generate new streams of income.
3.
Improve health. Focus on prevention. Better eating and more exercise are a must going
forward. No matter what politicians do in Washington, healthcare cost will
still go up.
4. Live your
purpose. If you still don’t know what
your purpose is, it is time to detect it. Do what you love or love what you do.
Do what you are passionate about or be passionate about what you do. Money
follows excellence. Become a professional in your craft.
5. Seek
creative leisure. Combine the right
work with learning and fun. Prioritize the work and guard your time; take
control of your schedule. Seek learning experiences. Start having more fun in
all that you do.
6. Focus on
serving. Provide better service for
those you serve. Keep attitude in check. During tough times, the world is full
of grouches. Who does not want to be served with a smile? Get those old people
skills, dust them, read them, study them, and apply what they teach.
7. Work on
yourself. In this new economy,
rewards come from skills, not diplomas. Self-educate yourself. Get the right
mentor to grow and prosper faster.
Hope
the above was of value to you, was it?
Which
one(s) of the above are you going to focus on? Hint. It is probably the one
that you paused for a second and thought about it.
Thank
you for reading and reflecting on today’s nuggets. Please share with others.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others

I would love to do a
podcast or a blog interview and share my Nuggets with your audience!
