Business leaders, recall the times that you "fumbled" in your execution, not last year, but possibly JUST THIS WEEK.

It happens to everyone.  We make commitments and fail to deliver on them. We may have promised to get a project done and were not able to complete it on time.  

Perhaps you got a very hard earned referral and then somehow fear and excuses took over and you never followed up. 

If you failed to execute you need to own it and learn from it.  

How can you learn from it?  How about realizing the timing around your failed executions?  

Start now for 2012.  January, is half over and many people have not set goals for this year. Many of us are very quick to blame others and extremely slow to take ownership for our own shortcomings.  

Here is something to ponder, in the wake of Monday's LSU loss many people are disappointed, some even are saying the season ended poorly.  When you look at the numbers 13 out of 14 games were won, 92.8% of the season was done RIGHT.  What percentage of your YEAR did you get right?  I am willing to bet it wasn't 92.8%! 

If you are not working on yourself, then you are working on the WRONG PROJECT.  

If your group need to be inspired, if you need private coaching or perhaps your sales team need to upgrade their skills.  It is time to contact our team.  

My goal is to help you get it right 92.8% of the time! 

Peace, Love and Gumbo!
