Play the Long Game

This isn’t about Financial Planning. This isn’t about your Insurance Policy. This is the one thing you need to get square in your head before you take on that new project. Play the Long Game.

It’s not a question of workload and overtime, it’s a question of whether you love it that much to work on it when you have a day off. That’s the Weekend Test.

Why won’t they Listen

One of the worst positions to be in is the position where you know the right way to accomplish a task but no one wants to hear it. It’s frustrating and demoralizing and leaves you with the feeling of why you are there, to begin with. But instead of flourishing in anger and despair, perhaps the course of action needed is for you to understand why they are not listening as opposed to trying to impose your will and direction on them. It seems like an extra step in an otherwise illogical puzzle where you already have the answer. But that’s
