Align: Ducks in a Row

Musing…

“Goals and contingencies… are important. But they exist in the future and the past, beyond the pale of the sensory realm. Practice, the path of mastery, exists only in the present. You can see it, hear it, smell it, feel it. “  
-- George Leonard, Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment

Charise’s Turn:

Going about setting up a business that ties together different endeavors is painstaking. There’s no quickness about it; it’s like fitting tiny pieces into a large scale puzzle. This is the arduous side of creativity -- laborious, exacting. Not about perfection -- perfection is perfectly useless! To be laborious and exacting and arduous is what work takes; and work is what you are doing in the moment, what you practice. 

I know there needs to be truth to what my business, "Coaching Moves", is saying or it won’t hold together -- all the puzzle pieces will fall apart. There needs to be balance of services offered or it’s uneven in presentation. There needs to be the best knowledge and skill I can possibly utilize or my clients/students are not getting their needs met. Getting my ducks in a row is about being up to date on all my credentialing, knowing what is relevant and important to my clientele, making sure I can follow through in my role as coach or teacher, getting all the spelling/grammar of presentational content correct (perfect spelling is useful!).  How you present your business matters -- work it! Sweat in your decisions; exult in your results.

Get Fired Up:

Practice what it is you want to accomplish – practice makes mastery.

(Throw away the idea that “practice makes perfect”.)

Keep practicing, work it!
