Happy New Year! The year is 2005 and we are well into the 21st century. The future is now! And I say perhaps it's time we started acting like we live in the future. New Year is always a time for resolutions. So, it's time for resolutions that impact the world around us in a positive way. A resolution to exercise more? That's no resolution! That's something we should be doing anyway. A real resolution involves a change in behavior.
There's a great little book called "The Four Agreements," by Don Miguel Ruiz that's full of common sense and homespun wisdom originating from Toltec philosophy. What's great about the four agreements is that they are just as applicable to business as they are to personal interaction, if there should even be a distinction between the two. I'll encapsulate the agreements but this column is no substitute for reading the book. These are agreements we make with ourselves.
