Act More, Survey Less.

Lately I get a lot of surveys send to me. All my providers of whatever want to know how they are doing and why.

The only thing I actually want of my suppliers is reliability. 
Always deliver, always be there, when stuff does not work fix it. That they really show they care. Not only show care through sending me surveys.

Please, spend all the money you throw at surveys on real care. 

Step Into Fear and Take Action.

For change to happen you do have to take action. Be courageous, take risks and step into opportunities. Which can be fearful. Because you do not know the outcome. 

Stepping into action is fearful. Because you don't know the outcome. But, it is not about the outcome. That's what we have been teached. It is about the process. And when you focus on the process, to be committed on the process, the outcome will be good. The best.

Take consistent action and stay focused on the way of being. Then you will bring your desired reality to life. 

And, the Universe will lend you a helping hand to make opportunities possible.

A writer writes.

If you want to be a writer, write. 

This concept can be universally applied.

Find the best people.

When you want to make a business successful, the team, the people. are essential. 

Flexible and innovative people, and most of the time, in the start of the business or a project, you want generalists in the team. Later on the specialists take over. 

But the main thing is that the people need to be excellent. Excellent in being human. And this is not a trick.

Because real people, honest and trustworthy people, will build up your business.

Set a good example.

It is about how you live your life. Every day. Not about what you say you are going to do.

People are watching you all the time. They see what you are doing. It means less what you are saying. The doing means a lot more. 

I believe that one can, and also will change lives of the people around you by what you do. Each day. 

And by doing, you will change things. Your life, and the ones of the people around you.

Be sincerely kind to everyone around you.

When being kind you create confidence. 

When you give kindly, you will create love around you. 

When you think kind, you will create positivity.

These three ways of kindness I read somewhere. I think it is true. 

When being kind you can make a difference. It rarely happens that your partner comes home and tells you that it was so bad he met kindness that day. Everybody wants to be treated kind. 

And, kindness will bring out more kindness. And it will make you grow stronger. 

Always be transparent.

As an organisation this is a major important point. Every team, every employee should know about what is going on in the company. 

By facilitating full transparency they start living and breathing the company or project. By having access to all the information they know what is happening, and by far most important: what should happen. What they should make happen.

A honest working environment brings security. That they know, or can know, everything what is going on.

And, when there is bad news to share, it does not come as a shock. It also brings in responsibility of employees and possible taking initiative into their own hands.

Trust is a very important base for this. And, if you trust yourself, you should also trust your team.
