Making the best of the worst

I have resolved to take advantage of my worst habit. Like many people, I am a procrastinator. Just ask my wife!

This week I have turned over a new leaf and am procrastinating for a cause. I have decided to apply my well practiced art of procrastination to good purpose. Every time I am urged to "grab a snack" I tell myself "later".

After a week, it is working... day by day I am using one bad habit to overcome another.

There is one questions that nags at my mind, once I have overcome snacking, which other bad habit can I use to get over procrastinating?

Ah well, that is a question for tomorrow!

Choose a job you love...


I have found my self repeating this quote more and more in recent months. When I first heard Barry Pascal say this "Choose a job you love - and you will never work a day in your life." I was still in school and it didn't resonate.

The quotation is attributed to Confucious

Now - nearly two years into MedExtra, truly a labor or love, I have come to understand of what Barry spoke spoke. And I appreciate it (and share it) more and more.

I just came across this FC article and it adds an interesting nuance to the quote.

Fast Company Article

The love is not only about your affinity for your work - but the nurturing
you provide to your job community as well.

Anyhow - thanks to Barry always for being an inspiration!

Mitch Joel and Twist Image are outstanding.

They are leaders.
They are innovators.
They are motivators.
They are a catalyst for change.

Most impressive, & least obvious about Twist Image is they way that they convey PASSION about the work.

No only do they show their passion but they share it. It is impossible to work on a project with Twist Image and not become MORE passionate about what you are working on with them.

This doesn't happen by accident. It is embedded in their philosophy and approach. It is never about "doing it" or even "doing it great". It is always about doing it REMARKABLE.

That strategy makes them REMARKABLE.

What makes them OUTSTANDING is their approach. Even as a supplier they exude leadership in a project. In itself, this is admirable... what makes it exceptional is they do not lead from in front (pulling), nor do they lead from behind (pushing) - they lead from beside. They inspire and foster growth and make their clients want to be REMARKABLE....

THEY ARE WAY ABOVE THE HERD!

Twist Image fosters growth - within the company, for their clients and business partners and for the entire community surrounding them!
