Motivation, innovation, self-actualization top the list along with
grappling with angry customers and stress reduction.Based on comments and feedback from you, it would seem that getting an early start on New Year’s resolutions was our most popular rant of 2013. It was up there, but it didn’t make the Top Five. Sure it’s only January 4th, but we advise our clients to start their resolutions (i.e. habit-changing exercises) at least a month before the new year so you have time to work the bugs out of your resolutions and re-set your goals to more reasonable aspirations. How are you doing on that?
Contact us here to share your stories of triumph or self-loathing.
That being said, you should never set the bar low and forget about your BHAGS (Big Hairy Audacious Goals). As our analytics confirm, our most popular post of 2013 was about why it’s a great time to be self-motivated. Our other most popular posts came from a wide variety of topics.

For instance, the sports world was shocked last winter by the International
Olympic Committee’s rash decision to drop wrestling from the Olympic program.
That’s like banning hot dogs from the ball park and as many of you know, the
great sport of grappling was recently reinstated thanks to a massive worldwide outcry
of support. A couple of important lessons really seemed to resonate with you: (a)
Never take your status as a “must have” for granted no longer how long you’ve
been in business; (b) Never give up fighting for what you believe in; (c) Don’t
underestimate the power of social and mobile media to galvanize a worldwide
community and (d) You’ve got to address your angry clients/customers ASAP or
heaven help you if you ignore them. Here’s the post
if you missed it.
We were also pleased to learn that most of you are not satisfied with the status
quo and you Don’t
fall victim to things that stifle innovation (our No.3 post). You also
learn to adapt as many of you finally made the switch from Blackberry to IOS or
Android smartphones (see Bye-Bye
Blackberry) and we noticed more of you than ever checking us out via mobile
device. Thank you.
