Small Pebble, Big Wave
Its funny how God orchestrates things. Just a couple of days ago, my sister (who i see probably twice a year) was over for my son’s birthday party. She mentioned a book called “The 4-hour Work Week”. Upon her recommendation, I bought the book, but haven’t read it yet.
Then something happened yesterday that started to get me to really think about my attitude towards how I work and what I work for. I’ll post about what happened later, but it got me to open that book and start reading. I’ll be blogging a lot about this topic over the next couple of weeks, but wanted to give you the premise of what I will be focusing on.
I know that I was meant for something more. I know that I have more potential in me that I’m currently using. I know that i want to enjoy helping people out and to help them make money, while doing the same. I want to unlock my full potential so I can realize all of my purpose, ideas, and intentions.
The book “4-hour Work Week” talks about working smarter, not harder. This can apply to anything whether you are in corporate America or working your AdvoCare business. Here are the core values the book talks about:
- I want to be in control of the work/business, not have it be in control of me. I don’t want to be a slave to a company, even one that I start. Work on what I want, when I want, with who I want.
- Make the biggest impact with the least effort. Eliminate or outsource low-value activities.
- Enjoy work, by working from a place of desire, not obligation or ego
- Contribute from areas of strength. Find the shortest distance between the strengths of collaborators.
- Prioritize opportunities that come to you, that pursue you, over ones that you have to pursue.
- Reframe the way you think about time and progress. Sometimes you can make real progress with a project/new company, and sometimes you can’t. When you make a cake, there are points you’re working actively to buy stuff, mix the ingredients or serving it, but there are also periods in between activity where you just have to let it sit (driving back from the market, baking time, waiting for dinner to finish before serving).
So what does that have to do with Small Pebble, Big Wave? Small Pebble = Least effort, Big Wave = Biggest Impact. The question we should be asking ourself is how do I make the biggest impact with least effort, and with the most happiness. I’ll be posting regularly about this journey.
