My Vision – Part 1
Well, I’m up past my bedtime today.
Usually I need my eight hours of sleep, but there are some days I wish I were an android that did not require slumber.
Yeah, like Data from “Star Trek – The Next Generation.”
I envied his ability to glide smoothly from task to task, all the while losing nothing in the way of energy or efficiency. He could literally keep going 24 / 7.
In later episodes he did “sleep”, but it was purely a voluntary thing.
So what’s keeping me up?
Specifically, I have been staying up late learning about how best to run our BurnLounge Business.
Sheryl and I want to build people, not just a business.
We want everyone who works with us in this to have as much to gain as we do.
So how can we best help our team members?
How can we train them, encourage them, educate them?
What tools and systems can we use and put in place that will make this all work?
There is so much material out there on running a home-based business, or on Network Marketing. Where do we start?
Quite often I am struck with just how much I have yet to learn.
To quote a great song by the great Austin Church:
“All I know is that I don’t know
What I thought I knew
When I knew it all”.
(Those may not be the exact words, but you get the idea).
35 years ago I used to think that my education ended when I graduated. I wanted nothing more than to get out of school, get a job, go to work, and make a living.
It seemed easy enough.
I would go to work, put in my time, come home, and forget all about it in front of the TV.
Then get up tomorrow and do it all over again in the same way, day after day, year after year.
That was the ideal life, or so it was modeled for me as I was growing up.
The older I get, the more I see that this is not the life I want.
So what do I want?
What is my vision?
Well, I’ll try to sleep on it, and I’ll get back to it tomorrow.
But I’ll probably end up lying awake for a while thinking about it.
