Instant Coffee

Instant coffee is fast. Instant coffee offers the quick solution you need at that time. Instant coffee keeps you satisfied until you can get to the gourmet roast or Colombian dark coffee from your favourite bean.

As customers, we love full bean flavour but we don’t always need that – sometimes all we need to keep us happy is some instant coffee.

How’s your business at serving coffee?

Be a Child

Children fear nothing. They may be scared of something, but it’s a different kind of fear.

They want to check out everything around them. They look at things differently from us. They see unique and new; we see “been there, done that”.

Children have that innocence that says everything has yet to be discovered. They don’t care about the safe, the boring – they want fresh and exciting. They see the world through the eyes of someone that doesn’t know the meaning of the words, “Too far” or “Some other time”.

Shouldn’t we all be like children? In life; in love; in business? Does our fear of real life stop us from overcoming everything that’s holding back our true success?

I think I’d like to be a child. How about you?

Bridge Builders

You don’t have to be a superstar. You don’t have to be the top dog. You don’t always have to be the number one.

It helps. It can offer kudos and creedence to your name. But superstars fade. Top dogs become old. Number ones can fall by the wayside and soon drop out the Top 10 altogether.

Stop solely concentrating on the numbers and positions. Instead, think about being a bridge builder.

We’re in a people business. Yes, people work from numbers but they really believe in the connection. You’re the bridge to that connection. The decisions you’re making today are being viewed by others, and they will come to you for their needs. Or the needs of their clients.

They may want you to help build the numbers for their company, but it still all happened because of your bridge.

Build the bridge right and the numbers will follow.

A Little Thing Called Thank You

If you’ve been hanging around me the last couple of days (and thanks for the company!), you’ll know that there’s been a little back and forth activity about a blog post regarding 12for12k. The details and response can be found here. An apology has since been issued, so I’m not going to dwell on the subject too long.

Instead, I wanted to share this with everyone who’s been around – you know who you are. You’re the living proof that friendships aren’t restricted to the physical, and for that I thank you sincerely.

Just a quick point – I’m still recovering from wisdom tooth surgery so I’m normally only half as scary-looking. And I don’t make a habit of loud swallowing every few seconds. Honest…

Fear

Fear is just the blanket under which hope sleeps. Hope covers us all – all we need to do is pull back the blanket.
