Look In The MIRROR - Accept Responsibility

Am highlighting a simple, profound thought too myself, extracted from a response to a potential joint venture partner who felt that her stimulating an idea alone 'entitled' her to a stake of the future project.

To explain, all the other potential participating project partners took the trouble to meet and move the idea to implementation... and the above person didn't bother to pitch with no apologies given.

Naturally, after discussion and consensus decision, she was excluded from the initial project launch with a way-in offered to show her future commitment to delivery... which was not well accepted by herself.

This was part of my response, which is also a reminder to self that I must take responsibility for all consequences that happen to me... and to 'deal with it'..!

I fully understand... I have the very same t-shirts 'earned' from many projects that I have kick-started in my lifetime and where I felt a 'little peeved' at the outcome.

In almost every case, where my emotions pointed the finger of blame at others, my head has recognised that I allowed each situation to happen.

I've learnt to accept full responsibility for all consequences that happen in my life... most times, such acceptance, sticking in the craw and difficult to swallow.

What's More Important To The CONSUMER... The Process or The End-Product?

Am busy contemplating my navel... ;-)

Thinking about designing a new seminar training program and blog.

Question going through my head is... what's more important to the consumer... the Process or the End-Product..?

I get this picture of trying to convince an experienced connoisseur whisky-drinker (of which I am not) to try a new brand of 'the finest distilled malt whisky'.

What's going to impress him/her most?

An explanation of the PROCESS?


Or... a taste of the END-PRODUCT?



Hmmm... think I'll have to test this with my audiences.
