HW Episode V - Fighting Bulge and Budget, Being Disagreeable

By


Part I.  Inspiration for the day-to-day fight 


Budget and Bulge are best fought with daily disciple. For some things you simply need to have the ability to grind every day and make things happen.   You either count calories or count points or fat grams, but in one way or another, you're counting something.  Budget is the same - counting all those dollars that come in and leave, temporary visitors to your checking account.

These things can be taxing. As part of the LifeSPARC process we talk about renewal. Using the small part of our brain that is called to fight for what is right vs. what is fun/yummy is a work in futility. Eventually we exhaust our fuel to do the right thing.

So, here's a some resources on how to get inspired, or Renewed, the 'R' in SPARC.


I love infographics even though they're fairly difficult to consume - hard to see on the screen and hard to print, but they're cool.


Section II - Tech 

We're all interested in what's coming next, or at least what's cool in the 'cool' crowd.   Tech Crunch has their Crunchies

Finally, don't think just because you're a person who's got HappyWisdom that you can't be inflexible.  Naturally nice people may need to learn this trait, but being unpleasant, or at least not caring what your network thinks of you, is a huge indicator of your potential for business success.


That is it for now!  Stay tuned for the next update on Happy Wisdom Wednesday!

I had to do something before every company manager thought it a good idea to follow the  Bezos/Amazon employee "hunger games" model .  They're not going to get away with it; not with the feedback I've gotten. People are seeing through the "I'll work to death and maybe get rich" scheme more and more.   Again, I don't judge people who work there as long as they're being mindful about the opportunity costs of doing so.  In that vein, I've got to tell you about the dangers of unicorns.   Unicorns being the new jargon for private companies estimated to be worth over $1B USD.    First lets be honest - most startups aren't unicorns and never will be.  That's why they chose this as a met...
