Be Consistent

There is a rule in business that is often over looked, consistency. So many times all an employee, team member, boss is looking for is consistency. It is an outstanding experience when someone delivers extraordinary results but at the end of the day the consistent folks are what truly drives the business.

As a team member all you can do is perform at the best of your ability every day. It is important to focus on being consistent in your approach, delivery and communication style. If you are not consistent people will eventually avoid you with the fear of not knowing what might be coming at them.

Sure some might say the consistent person does not always get the high recognition, praise or advancements. However the consistent person traditionally provides stability, clear vision, and accountability. Companies need consistency.

Giving Thanks

It has been a while since my last post. I have been extremely busy with a variety of events taking place. However the holiday season always makes me slow down and realize how important it is to take time to say thanks.

Over the past year like most people I have experienced the ups and downs that come with life. I have been challenged with a new career path, new home and challenging graduate work. However through these difficult times I am thankful to have these opportunities.

Each person's life is in essence a little business. You have to have a good strategy, a will to succeed, and be willing to work hard. Above all else though you have to be surrounded with the best people to make your business thrive. Take care of the people around you and your business, life, will do just fine.
