Don’t you teach at Winston Churchill Collegiate Mark?

[Chris,

I'd choose that over the Wilkins Micawber Academy any day

Great post Mark. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of doing stuff out of habit, even when it doesn’t progress our goals, such as making money.
We all have to perform activities that ‘enable’ our goals, or ‘defend’ achievements – even down to admin jobs such as accounting. When these jobs become easy and form part of our comfort zone, it’s always tempting to do them more often.
Your course-corrective feedback is a good model to use. I went through such an event just before the end of 2008 and now I feel so much more confident and keen to achieve my goals in 2009 – which (coincidentally) is to Make Money (or I should add, Make Money More Efficiently so I can spend more time with my family and friends)

[Simon,

There's absolutely no hiding from it when you look at a P&L statement haha!

I've always been attracted to 'course-corrective' ideas - even before I read Dr. Maxwell Maltz's book, Psycho-Cybernetics, some years ago.
That book was published in my birth year - 1960 - so it must be good

Yes, about 80% of what I do makes me money, The other 20% is a combination of things that I do for fun, feelings and yep in some cases just for the hell of it. I find that I can get too far over on the productive side and then I’m not loose enough to see new opportunities. Best to you in 09 Mark.

[Hi Tom,
I can sense your happy doing what you do each time I visit your site.
And the very best to you this year, my friend.
