I’m inspired to do a lot every day. Mostly work – working out – helping my student interns – and a bunch of other stuff. Now that yesterday is over, what did you do that’s worth talking about? Good question. If it’s just work related – then you didn’t do enough. If it’s just about working out – then you were too selfish. Did you help someone? Specifically – did you help someone without regard to its impact on your wallet? Funny, that eliminates work colleagues and clients (or prospects). If you have children then you’re blessed — what a golden opportunity to contribute to “life.”

In my work world, I’m privileged to know a group of interns who need my help. Yet, it doesn’t put one dime in my pocket. In fact, it clearly detracts from growing the business I manage. Why do I help them? Because when my career changes from the “agency” business to something else, I want to look back and ‘know’ it was for a higher purpose.

Now that it’s all over, what did you really
do yesterday that’s worth mentioning?
