'Slow Down to Speed Up'

Thanks again to David Greer, Entrepreneurial Coach, for giving us some great advice, including 'Four Vital Actions to Operate by Design not be Default'.  We don't take the time, in life or in business, to slow down and assess where the storm is and then to centre ourselves so that we have adequate resources to respond.  David talked about a number of strategies, some dealing with YOU (rhythm, proper habits, setting the tone) and PEOPLE (environment and how to set up a creative environment to enhance productivity, effective communication -- be present in the conversation and forget the other mental 'noise').  Focus on four vital actions each day:  how you start the day, effective planning and goal setting, connecting (start with the 'wins'), and finishing your day.  Remember, NO is a complete sentence - establish boundaries.  See David's book, Wind in Your Sails.
