==> InspireME: Head or Heart? Perhaps Both.

"It is rare to find a job that captures both your head and your heart. However, one’s head and heart must be engaged to live a worthwhile life."

Good Morning to the Best Team On Earth!

I would like on this Friday morning to thank each and everyone of you for an awesome week. I have been to many places this week and many more to come. 

But between our clients. Our employees. Our prospects. And associations and more we are truly on the move. And it could not happen without ur extreme care and commitment  for the success of the company and ur personal and professional goals. 

People want to connect. They want you to do the connecting.

Seth Godin’s new TRIBES book about leadership makes one wonder, where should we put our experience, insight, knowledge and leadership to good use? 

According to Seth, because of fear and discomfort, it makes leadership worth pursuing. Seth explains…

“In other words, if everyone could do it [be a leader], they would, and it wouldn’t be worth much.

==> It’s uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers.
==> It’s uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail.
==> It’s uncomfortable to challenge the status quo.
==> It’s uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle.

If you’re not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it’s almost certain you’re not reaching your potential as a leader.

Leadership is a choice. It’s the choice to not do nothing."

Let’s keep in mind … this isn’t a complete summary of TRIBES. One aspect of TRIBES is to inspire us to be leaders at work. Another aspect is to become leaders outside of our day jobs and lead someone and/or something somewhere else.

Any job you work in has the opportunity to capture both your head and your heart. When a business captures your head, you are fully involved with the decisions/outcomes of every business activity. When a business captures your heart you are totally passionate about how the business positively impacts people and society.

It is rare to find a job that captures both your head and your heart. However, one’s head and heart must be engaged to live a worthwhile life.

Last week FSO had its biggest open house turn out EVER!  We had 276 candidates!  Of those 276 attendees, 161 are viable, future hires. This clearly means that FSO is on fire and people want to be a part of our family! If that isn’t a tribute to our brand that captures both your head and your heart, I don't know where else you could find a happier place to work on Earth.

We have an amazing team of people here, and when we all come together to put on an event like this, it’s truly magical. Your passion, professionalism and pride is contagious.

Know that I am personally invested and CARE about every person in our company. It is part of the personal touch that sets us a part in this industry and in business compared to most.

If you are reading this from outside the company and want to put the fun and meaning back into your own workplace or find a new path, give me a call personally and see how FSO can help.

TRIBES is smart stuff worth being influenced by. Get it. Read it. Share it. And be influenced by it.

As we head out for an awesome weekend with Spring in the air, know that the future is bright, and I promise you that I personally could not be more focused on helping each and every one of you achieve your greatest success. 

Have a HAPPY, SAFE and HEALTHY Weekend.

Love Life and Light It UP!
