This is my first full real, not-holiday week in which I’m
working on my goal of completing at least three tasks a day in my quest for the
afore mentioned world domination. This week I’m participating in The Daily Whip’s
Week Long Whip-a-Thon, a business boot
camp of sorts and the fact that I was originally only scheduled for three
shifts seemed perfect so I could focus on what I’d be learning but true to my
life, perfect never sticks. By the time
I left work Sunday (the first day of the work schedule at the store), I had
been asked to add four hours to my five hour shift on Monday, and to add a
seven hour shift today, one of my three days off to focus on my business, thus
effectively screwing perfect.
Am I a little off track with my plan for the week? Yes.
Am I’m totally stoked and still getting things done? YES, and it’s due in large part to focusing
on forward action on a daily basis, and in larger part to the accountability of
the Whip-a-Thon. You see, I’m super
great at thinking about all the stuff I should be doing and I can spend hours
making lists, but thinking and lists will only get you so far. Having the kind of accountability and
organization I’m learning about this week will get me the rest of the way (you
can learn more about what I’m learning at www.dailywhip.com
).
So what’s the most important thing I’ve learned this
week? Every Ninja needs a Shifu. Sometimes they are from China and dressed in
a Kung Fu uniform, and sometimes they are wearing stilettos and cracking a
whip. But all the time, they teach us
how to grow in different ways.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, here's a picture of my new SWEET boots...
