Celebrate today the 364 days you work and help make the world economy
revolve. Yes, we are the world as all of our work is linked to others through
vendors, customers, employees, subcontractors and neighbors. Finding meaning
and purpose in our work is important and for some, labor is an exchange for the
resources to give meaning to life. For others, work is what we do to meet our
life mission or goals. Knowing your own personal mission is something that may
help define you and your work. Dr. Britt Andreatta has created worksheets for
helping you develop your own statement and it is worth a look. Personal Mission Statement

The Law of
Profitability
The Law of
Profitability
By Linda Fayerweather

bills but often employees and customers forget that businesses are in business

clear. Profit is key to fueling growth, capital
improvements, employee bonuses, corporate sponsorships,

Quick Tip for a Productive Week
|
|
Summer can be a wonderful
distraction from the world of work. To stay productive when it isn't
your week to vacation, creating some distractions does helps. The apple
break has always been a favorite of mine. When I'm feeling
sluggish, can't finish the task or just having really heavy eyelids, it is
time for a break. Taking a walk in the summer sun or rain; crunching an
apple or some carrots, even taking a lunch break away from my desk can be a
wonderful time management tool. So often when we feel overworked or
overwhelmed, our brains hear us and checkout! Making a healthy choice
to step back, relax and revive can mean a huge difference in meeting my
deadlines.

back on track break"? --Linda Fayerweather
