Weekly Challenge 10/13/14: Paul Hebert, Why do we fail?

Fall

Quote:  “Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.”-  Alfred Pennyworth

Challenge: Everyone is going to fail sometime at something, the key is getting back into the saddle and continue to ride on!  How do we we gain this resilience? First make connections, just as Bruce Wayne had Alfred Pennyworth in the Batman mythos, we need individuals and groups who can listen and give us those small words that hold us up and keep us going when the times get tough!  You maybe already tough, but if you need a helping hand connect with a group or motivated individuals to help you build your dreams.

Weekly Challenge: June 2, 2014: Stay Hungry and Humble

Challenge_2014-06-02

“Don’t be cocky or flashy there’s always someone better than you” -Tony Hsieh, CEO Zappos.com

Challenge: Stay hungry and humble; disruption is always around the corner

Just because things are working for you now doesn’t mean they will in the future. Keep learning, growing, and have that ear to the ground. Mastery of a skill is extremely important in stabilizing your process for quality products and services. However, changes in the competitive landscape and how others are learning new ways to do things less expensive, better, faster, or in a more novel ways can quickly obsolete a business model, product, or service. This can be especially disheartening if caught by surprise due to not  being tuned into your environment.  Continue to perfect your course of action, but always be on the guard for those dynamic shifts.
