INSPIRATION WORD: YET

Why does personal growth matter to the bottom line?    To increase results something must change.  The business component most adaptable to change is its people.

  • Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

  • What are we hoping to find when we seek inspirational words?

    • Searching for results not words
    • Most google searches will return a list of words not results.
      • Will reading them changes results? Probably not
    • Inspiration – the process of being mentally motivated to do something. 
    • Inspirational words – words to move to you that motivation.

      • Confusion guards the treasure you seek. 
      • Only seconds before the breakthrough arrives you are surrounded by confusion.

        • The confrontations deteriorate into a test of wills.  
        • What about the parents that want to avoid that?  
          • They look for inspiration. 
    • Word of Inspiration: Yet.
      • Provides realistic hope, the power of yet is in its simple truth.  
      • Yet always wins in the end. 
      • Truest answer you can give another person.  “I can’t catch”. “You can catch, yet”.
      • Today’s clouds have no bearing on next weeks weather.  Might be tough right now but things change and we change. Practice, measure, correct, change.  If you are not willing to do something badly at first, you will never be good at it.
