Work Smarter, Not Harder

I think this has become the theme of my week.

John Assaraf touched on it in his post on “what hourly rate you must make” to reach your financial goals, and then again when he laid out his “work schedule for success“.

Beth Terry, a client of mine, wrote on “the importance of rest and regeneration on performance“.

In more pain than I could daily endure, I headed to the doctor, who helped me discover how “pushing myself too hard” with my work outs had injured my body.

Working smarter requires strategy. It requires planning. It requires (sometimes) making hard choices and (sometimes) facing obstacles while acting on a choice that may have been easy to make but is a little messy in the fallout. It requires being okay that some people don’t like what you are doing and the huge reward in knowing others admire you and respect you more for respecting yourself.

Seth Godin has talked about the difference in selling something for a dollar to a million people, versus selling something for a thousand to a thousand people, or something for ten thousand to a hundred people “to make a million dollars“. It comes down to strategy. Maybe supply and demand too…if I’m selling a piece of me, I may not have a million pieces to give. Which brings it back to working smarter, rather than harder. My goal isn’t necessarily to make a million dollars…but it is to reach my goals with my heart, soul, and body in tact.

That won’t happen by accident or luck or chance. It will only happen if I live deliberately.

Thoof

Thoof: fun word without a proper dictionary definition as of yet…
“The thoof is in the pudding.”

“Thoof is stranger than fiction.”

“Thoof or dare.”

Thoof.com is also a new website, in the tradition of digg or stumble (though I love stumble for random browsing!), but without the thumbs up/down or burying system. What I think I like best is the ability to select topics and news, through use, that one likes, without the rude or stupid comments in the review process.

I’m signed up and have submitted articles from my own site; if I like it, I’ll begin doing the same for my clients. Thanks to paula for the tip in her post today.

National Speaker’s Convention

Take a look at my sidebar and you’ll see there in the sites I manage a list of public speakers’ blogs. This week a few of them are in San Diego and from the sounds of things, having a very exciting time. They are also armed with my business cards, which is the first time they’ve been distributed on a large level, and attending classes on blogging and their industry. Already I’ve received calls directly from those picking up a card so I get to put it in the “successful idea” box between my ears. The business is Blogging With Flair and what it is a creation, customization, and management service. I’ve read for years that money can be made from blogging but until this year, I didn’t see it myself. What has occurred in the past 3 months though has resulted in a business that is empowering our financial goals and there are more ideas running through my mind than hours in the day. I stumbled upon a business that has become a catalyst for great things in my life; not often do opportunities like that happen in the road of life.
