Robin Sharma Articles

You know how fiercely I believe that every dream starts small and nothing moves forward until you do. Just read about former HP Chief Carly Fiorina. Has a new memoir out called "Tough Choices". Actually did a quick stint as a typist at Hewlett-Packard at the beginning of her career. But always wanted to be great and stood for excellence (a guy in a car with a license plate that said "V Best" drove by me today as I drove my kids to school; my guess is he stands for the same thing).

 One of her big insights: "don't think about the next job, focus on doing the best with the job you have. Learn everything you can from everyone you can. Focus on the possibilities of each job, not the limitations." Could I suggest that we read that advice a few times to really integrate it? Because it's good.
No, actually, it's superb.

 So easy to tell everyone around you that you'll be best in class when you get the position you've been aching for. So easy to say you'll innovate/raise the bar/step up to remarkable once you receive the title you've aimed at. So easy to advertise that you'll be an A player when you get to where you're going. But we get what we give. Not later but now. And if not now, then when?
