Sometimes Chicken - Sometimes Feathers

Sometimes Chicken and sometimes feathers.

After work we often reflect on the accomplishments of the day. Each day offers the opportunity to accomplish something and move forward. However there are many times in our career that, at the end of the day, we look back at exactly what we accomplished and we cannot clearly identify anything we did to help move the process forward.

You cannot do everything in a day, but you can do something everyday. Extraordinary and defining accomplishments rarely happen in a short timeframe. Building anything worthwhile takes time and a steady process toward a goal. The steps you take toward your destination are more often small and sometimes they are backward. We have all heard the saying, "three steps forward and one step back." Business does not often follow a linear path. Business takes twists and turns and sometimes it seems that the road to success is not very clear at all.

The "must-do" exercise must be to, DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY, however small and insignificant the activity may seem. There will be days when you get Chicken and other days when you get only Feathers. The key is to make the best of what you have and enjoy the big and small accpmplishments.
