Question submitted

Question submitted on my website: Chris, what issues or ideas are you working on in your business? I want to see if there is anything I can grab from you and put in my business.

  • More writing and articles. One of our key principles is Be Seen and Be Heard! In other words, we are working on branding and marketing through relevant articles.
  • New programs. We constantly aware that we need to be Interesting and Entertaining! And that means aggressively having new stuff to talk about. Look, how interesting and entertaining is Six Sigma in today's marketplace? Not very is right! I am not saying it doesn't work or not meaningful, in fact, it is....but it's 1990 type stuff. We are continually re-inventing our programs and speeches to stay relevant! We are either Distinct or we will be Extinct! So we are writing new seminars and speeches all the time.
  • Along those lines, we are looking for new ways to Change. What got us here won't get us there....the only way we can get to our "there" is to change! Plus, I hate ruts and routines. I want to be comfortably uncomfortable and never fall into the trap of comfort zones. I have a list of changes I want to consider and then implement. Example: Meet someone new every single day and ask how you can help them.
  • Outline for a book project.
  • Working on a weekend seminar...Business Retreat and Think-Tank....at a great resort in central Texas for business leaders and those in the marketplace to Transform their Business!
  • Pick up the pace on reading....there is so much to learn that can help me. I have to increase the number of pages I read per day.
  • Re-define Priorities with a focus on those that are deep impact (starting with the eternal.)
  • RELATIONSHIPS! ....make new ones and improve existing relationships with intentionality and purpose. To me, there is nothing more important than relationships on this planet (see most famous picture of earth taken November 10, 1967)
  • Finally, Superbowl weekend for Christians as Easter is here...Finally, I am working on improving my relationship with Jesus! See priorities above...Is there anything more important than that? Not for me! Have a great Easter to all!
