Wonder if this attracts readers who are doing real work or unreal work. To be sure, negativity is a work distraction tactic. Great list. Thanks for this!

The first list creates lasting value. The second list creates instant gratification. I'll flit between these two lists, depending on my "state" of life. But focusing on my mission and what's possible enables me to correctly get back to my charted course. Enjoy the weekend!

Thanks so much for the reminder here!

The first list creates lasting value. The second list creates instant gratification.

I’ll flit between these two lists, depending on my “state” of life. But focusing on my mission and what’s possible enables me to correctly get back to my charted course.

Enjoy the weekend!

For me it's timely as I'm unemployed and soulsearchinig. Don't know if this makes sense but your gut will tell you what you should be doing and what is a waste of time. Also, I'm a believer that anything is possible if you want it bad enough. For me personally, climbing Mount Everest will never happen, but there's nothing wrong with thinking big. Also, some people have to hit a hard brick wall no matter what anyone says to learn all of this. Thankfully, and it stinks that it took me 41 years to realize it, but you know what you need to do and the key is to stay on path! NO BS. No goofing off. Your posts are always so awesome!

I often find myself on twitter and not being productive for MY business. And what is holding you back from real success? There's a question for the ages. If you can answer that, you're 1/2 way to success! Is needing to be 'the expert' more important than actually working and being the expert? Helping too much someone else and forgetting to help yourself? Guilty on that one. I've found that charging for my services weeds out the users - and keeps with good clients. Hmmmm See you at SOBCon! @debworks Suze,

Evans Sat, 25 Apr 2009 00:56:40 +0000 http://suzemuse.netfirms.com/?p=1613#comment-777 During my corporate career, I couldn't understand why I didn't have to work late often or as much as others. But then I figured it out later. You answered them all -- people were doing "not real work." Furthermore, I do have one advantage: being deaf. People emailed me rather than called me. Email makes it harder to get chatty. People didn't want to deal with the relay in calling me and plus the conversation isn't as smooth or as comfortable as without the relay. <abbr><em>Meryl K.

I do have tons of real work and that delegate one is so hard for me. I don't really have people to delegate too and I do have a bad habit of saying yes too much. On the flip side, I have been blessed with more business this year than ever before and my clients have been very pleased. So onward! Everytime I read your blog, I am inspired!
