The amount of growth I experience is directly proportional to how deliberate I am with the actions I take. Everything we did when I was in sales/marketing was designed to move toward something, and I'll be damned if much of it doesn't transfer to all other areas of my life as well.
I dig this exercise. Since I had to do direct marketing and communicate on the street I totally relate. Get this...now I walk into a room and greet people, rather than waiting to be greeted. I come off as far less standoffish, and the resulting depth and scope of relationships I've created is worth that mild, job-induced breaking of old habits. Wild what a little bit of concerted effort nets in results.
Anyone can be busy. It's awesome to see that you're choosing to be PRODUCTIVE rather than just busy.
Love the story. Thanks.
