1 Overlooked Short Cut To Success

This Insight May Sound or Look Goofy
This Insight May Sound or Look Goofy

Was talking to a really smart Fortune 100 executive recently, someone I’ve know for over a decade. We don’t speak regularly, but when we do, we each walk away with something good.

He shared an insight about knowledge and time. Today’s emerging workforce has all the knowledge the world has ever known at their beck and call. One click takes them there. Instantly. We didn’t have enough time to debate, but the insight for me is this:

Knowledge is no substitute for time. Time is like money. The more you have, the wealthier you are. Time, well spent, buys you experience, something knowledge alone can not offer. The compound interest of time nets wisdom.

Wisdom comes from experience, and experience comes from making mistakes.

The long way is the shortcut to success.

Someone Created A Magazine Just Because Of Opportunities

He starts out with, “Hello, my name is Scott Ginsberg”…

On a recent Sunday morning, getting ready for Church, with the usual scan of the social media bookmarks….Twitter, LinkedIn, You Tube, Facebook, Blogs…

Bingo!!  Scott Ginsberg.

Scott Ginsberg has worn a name tag every day, all day, for over nine consecutive years.

Do it better than the others, or do what no one else is doing. These are your two options as an Internet entrepreneur.

Your Hard Work May Be Suspect

Yesterday, we talked about our hard work going unnoticed. Truth is, your hard work may also be suspect.

You know exactly what I mean.

Some people are “brown-nosers“.

And then there are the rare few who do things without expectation, and even they are held suspect.

Just yesterday, I experienced it first hand.

In a world too busy for simple, honest and sincere recognition, and in an effort to be the change, and do the opposite from what everyone is complaining about (a lack of recognition), I did something nice for someone. And it came from a grateful heart that pauses, and understands everyone is fighting a tough battle.

But something happened that caught me off guard.

My only hope is that it was simply a reflex, a defense mechanism. I often struggle with accepting grateful appreciation.

Maybe she’s the same way.

Life is hard, people are ungrateful, busy and hypocritical. Deal with it. Be organized and prepared for battle.
